CGarchitect.com 3ds Max Design Hero Competition

CGarchitect.com and Autodesk are seeking for heroes! Not any kind of heroes, but 3ds Max designers with big creativity and imagination.

Submit a scene or design you’ve created using Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2012 or Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2012 software, and it could be featured on the next version of 3ds Max Design box cover and splash screen. But that’s only one part of the prize. The creator of the winning entry will be awarded with a Quad GPU Workstation and $5,000 in cash!

And finally, the best part of this contest – entries will be judged on imagination, innovation, not production quality.

Imagination, Innovation, and Ingenious Use of the Max Logo

Autodesk is looking for inventive concepts or renderings of architectural design, mechanical or industrial/product designs like buildings, bridges, vehicles, furniture, and consumer products. Entries will be judged on imagination, innovation, and ingenious use of the max logo, not production quality.

The context of the scene should be design-centric, for example: buildings, bridges, cities, vehicles, consumer products, machines, furniture, building products, landscapes, etc. (no monsters or aliens or please!).

It is important that your renderings integrate the provided 3ds Max logo model.

Oh, Boy! A Quad GPU Workstation for the Winner!

Not only will the winning submission be seen by thousands of 3ds Max Design users on a daily basis, to the winning designer will also receive a 3DBOXX 8550 XTREME Quad GPU Workstation (with 4 Nvidia GPUs; 1 Quadro and 3 Tesla), plus US$5,000 in cash.

Runners-up will receive an NVIDIA® Quadro® 5000.
