Architecture unchained!

Conditions

The aim of this contest is to showcase what are we – CGI artists & Architects – capable of. Construction rules? Urban rules? Law? Screw it! You are an artist, act like one.

There is only one strict condition that must be kept – As this is Work in progress challenge, every participant must create his own thread in our Forum and post there his/her WIP images, while other participants will make comments and suggestions for possible improvements. Also, WIP images may help judges to add valuable points when deciding about the winning image ;)

Your image can be an interior, exterior or a mix of both.

You are encouraged to post on the Challenge forum as many WIP images as you can. The minimum requirement is to submit an image for each of these parts – Concept Sketch (Reference images), Environment Model, Accessories modeling, Texturing, Lighting and Rendering, Post production and Final Images. While all WIP images must be published during the whole process in our Forum, final images must be submitted in 2 ways: Either published in the same WIP thread as other images from the author, they must be submitted via email (studio@flyingarchitecture.com with the “CONTEST” as a subject of the email.) as well.
Email must contain:
- Final image in JPG in full quality and resolution
