Blender and Sintel win 3D World Magazine CG Awards
Both Blender and Sintel have won Awards from 3D Worlds annual CG Awards. Blender picked up the award for Software Update of the Year, and Sintel won for Best Short CG Animation of the Year (Short Form). Congratulations to everyone involved!
Ton’s response to Blender winning the Software Update of the Year Award:
We’ve had many compliments for delivering this UI and tools redesign project. It’s been a huge task – over three years of work – something free or open-source projects typically are advised to never even attempt! An official recognition from 3D World readers means a lot to us: thanks!
Prix Ars Electronica@CERN Artists Residency Prize
Prix Ars Electronica@CERN is a new international prize for digital artists, offering the opportunity to win a residency at CERN, the largest particle collider in the world. The idea is to inspire digital creativity through brining the minds of artists and scientists together.
From the Ars Electronica Page:
The residency is in two parts – with an initial two months at CERN, where the winning artist will have a specially dedicated science mentor from the world famous science lab to inspire him/her and his/her work. The second part will be a month with the Futurelab team and mentor at Ars Electronica Linz with whom the winner will develop and make new work inspired by the CERN residency. From the first meeting between the artists, their CERN and Futurelab mentors, they will all participate in a dialogue which will be a public blog of their creative process until the final work is produced and maybe beyond. In this way, the public will be able to join in the conversation.
To find out more about the prize and how to make a submission take a look at the prize announcement page.
