Vue 3D Environment Competition 2009

Get Noticed!

E-on software, in association with Maxon, Pixologic, 3D Total, 3Dconnexion, 3D World magazine and Cornucopia3D, is honored to invite you to participate in the "Vue 3D Environment Competition 2009".

With judges that are leading experts in the major fields of the 3D entertainment industry, this competition represents a unique chance to get noticed, and win a complete 3D arsenal at the same time!

Competition Overview

Create an image of any kind of environment using your application of choice, in combination with any version of Vue (Esprit, Pro Studio, Complete, Infinite or xStream), including the free Personal Learning Edition and the free Vue 7 Pioneer.

Images can be in any style and genre, realistic or imaginary, as long as the Vue environment is visually predominant. You can use imported objects and figures, but keep in mind that the judges will focus primarily on the quality of the Vue landscape.

The competition is open to everyone, hobbyists and professionals alike. The judging will be based solely on the quality, originality and artistic merit of the images, not on the version of Vue used to create them.

In the first stage of the competition, e-on’s Picture of the Day contest team will select 12 finalists from all submissions. The finalists’ images will be displayed on the e-on website, with links to their personal website/gallery. In the second stage, our judges will pick the winners out of the 12 finalists.

Schedule

• Submission period: June 15 - July 20, 2009.
• Finalists announced: July 31, 2009.
• Winners announced: Siggraph 2009, August 04 - 06, New Orleans.
