The waiting is – over!

The steinzeit CGI-Contest 2010 attracted many more participants than we would have expected. This reflects the growing community of CGI artists as well as newcomers interested in photo-realistic 3D production. We would like to say thank you for the time and passion you spent creating the wonderful entries. Really great work!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have the pleasure to announce the results of the steinzeit CGI Contest 2010. Give a big hand for the winners!

The winner is: Tobias Kenner – Wurzel Medien GmbH with the "Napshell"

We received some very convincing CGIs and the jury panel had a hard time rewarding the 3 most convincing motives. However they come to a result:

1st "Napshell"
Jury statement: "Very successful integration of the model into the scene as well as an impressive interaction between these two." "Great attention to detail." "A welcome change to other 3D objects."

2nd "MINI"
Jury statement: "Excellent and very professional realization."

3rd "Carrera-Bahn"
Jury statement: "Creative idea with a convincing integration into the scene."

honourable mention "Motubaik"
Jury statement: "Very creative modelling that elicits a smile."

In the end we are pleased to say, it was a very successful contest. We are looking forward to repeating this event in 2011. So stay tuned!
