couldn't agree more. While a big majority of qualified artists showed great skill and amazing renderings, it should be fair to say they were all created under different circumstances and purposes.
Not all CG Arch. Vizualization should be put in the same bag. At least half of the winning images were produced without time-pressure and rigid Client's requirements (sitting behind the 3D artist, breathing down their necks). Some took a few days, others weeks, perhaps months to complete.
Entry criteria therefore shouldn't only be limited to modelling, texturing, lighting, composition, impact, etc but also to real world production / hobby, time deadline / unlimited time....for a majority of participating 3D artists (including myself), that's a daily reality which is heavily reflected in their output.

Something to consider for AVC 2006....


congrats to all winners though, outstanding work!!

I disagree. Some of the best CG work I have seen was done for clients under deadline with all of the same pressures that most of experience. Companies like Artmaze, Smoothe, Hayes Davidson, AMD, Neoscape all output amazing pieces and are some of the best in the industry. One thing to note, that while they might be large companies, much of the finishing work and core of the imagery is usually done by one person.

I just wanted to personally thank and publically acknowledge all the REALLY hard work and long hours that the judges put into making all of the final selections. I know that it was a very difficult task. I could not have done it without you!

I will keep tabs on all WIP and final images of challenges, hope to learn more on my craft. I think that this AVC 2005 is going to get even bigger as times procedes.

Congratulations again to all, and thinking about AVC 2006.....
