Blender World Cup 2008 kicks off!

Posted on by

Blender World Cup 2008Just like the earth spins around the sun, the Blender World Cup comes around once each year. And just like Global Warming, each year the competition is fiercer than ever.

This year the topic is wide open, and the freedom belongs to you the artists…. There is just one catch.

The Competition has begun!

For detailed information and the competition rules please check out the official web page at bwc.blenderartists.org

There is a good stack of prizes up for grabs from our fantastic sponsors, with more to come, so stay tuned over the coming days for the complete list of what’s up for grabs.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

    • verb

      Sorry, but I don’t get the “right in the middle” idea. I think their briefing needs revision to be clearer.

      @verb, I think you can consider the brief open to interpretation by the artists.

    • Me

      Show me actual proof of “global warming” and I’ll believe you, but the problem is that proof doesn’t exist.

      Anyway, This is pretty sweet. Glad to know about it! :)

      @verb, think action shot, think perspective (someone close to the action, not someone far away…), but as Tony has said, its open to interpretation.

      @Me, not trying to sell global warming, trying to sell a competition with a provocative headline.

      @BackiZ, this is the beginning of the BWC. no warnings this year, just straight into it. Good Luck, I know you are going for the full set ;)
