Richard

:applause:

I had a feeling you’d win it, your render was beautiful and the concept and composition really hit all the boxes for the brief.

I’m only sorry i didn’t manage to get past first base and offer up some more competition. Four live projects with the same deadline as the competition put paid to me getting past my first draft model which I didn’t even get a chance to post (it wasn’t very good anyway !).

So congrats to Richard, and congrats to Brian and the voting panel on setting the competition.

This is the first competition I’ve entered and despite not finishing I think the process of discourse through development is invaluable to both experienced and novice users.

When will it go into production by the way ? Traffic was a b**ch this morning and we have more room on the roof to park than in our car park.

Cheers

Woo! Way to go Richard!

Miguel, too late for me to retire young… Aziz, Juan, thank you, Loon your image had a great impact at my workplace, thanks for the kind words. James, too bad work got in the way… you had a fantastic concept. Edgard, I can use the iPod and keep on working…! I wish I had a double sometimes, I could sleep more. Free time during the contest was concentrated on my entry. I am blessed with an EXTREMELY supportive family. Craig, i really appreciate your Woo!

I am supposed to share my shaders and materials but you already have them for I used only standard EI stuff, no fancy shaders. I made a mockup of the solojet project with greatly reduced maps for anyone curious about the setup. It’s still over 8Mb. You can download it here:

Again, thanks for the support.

Oh and Richard…one more thing. Submit the image to the EI gallery. :slight_smile:

Thanks.

Ok… I’ll be sending out the ipod tomorrow Richard. :slight_smile:

#22

I received my iPod yesterday, I’m very happy with it, never listen to so much music in a 24 hour period! I discovered The Cat Empire! I am now an official member of the iPod Family (clic the picture…) Tanks again Brian, Ian, Brad and this great community!

#23

You’re most welcome Richard. Enjoy your new toy…you deserve it.

#24

Great shot of the Ipod family Rick.

:slight_smile: Just wondering did you purposely wear that shirt? it is the same with your Avatar, but you forgot your glasses…

Congrats!

#26

Keen eye Loon…! (well, it is kind of obvious…)
The shirt was not on purpose, I too was surprised when I posted…
OK, truth is: it’s my only shirt…! :smiley:
The glasses are broken… I’m stuck with my prescription sunglasses in the mean time. :cool:
