Blender Winner in Animago Contest

Published by Bart on May 30th, 2006 in Art, Contests

Back in February we asked you to make us proud by submitting your Blender art to the German 2D/3D competition Animago. Well, you did!

The "Up & Down" entry by Sander Wit made 1st place in the "home/still/art" category, beating eleven competitors.

As a personal note, I've been carrying this image as the wallpaper of my cellphone ever since it appeared in February :)

Hmm… I like it too, but my friend has similar poster (real one, on real wall:P) for ages. Anyone know it's name ?

BTW Sander, could you render a BIGGER one ? :) I don't have anything nice for 1280×1024 :P

tokugawa: I think it's inspired by Escher - but I might be wrong though

Tokugawa: That render is based on an Escher's picture. Sander Wit recreated it in blender.
As far as I know, the name of the original is the same: UP AND DOWN.

Hey thanks guys :D

Bart just mailed me about this topic… so sorry for the late responce.

I recieved the official certificate last week and I ordered the magasine where all the winners are shown in, but that will take a while still I guess.

I am working on a tutorial or perhaps better called a project overview of this project and it will be shown on this website when I get it done. (I should have finished it ages ago but other things came up. So sorry Bart…)

Best regards

Sander Wit
