Seasteading design contest finished
The results of the Seasteading design contest are in and voting is now open. May 13 and the winners will be announced May 15.
The seasteading design contest is finished. One can now vote for one’s favorite
entry. Disclaimer: I made one with Blender called ‘Akamai’- Johan Steenkamp.
On top of that, you can download the models in a whopping 690 Mb file. They’re in all kinds of formats, but there’s quite a lot of Blender material there as well. All files are released under the Creative Commons Attribution license. In order to prevent an immediate meltdown of their webserver I won’t link to it directly. If you want it, you’ll have to search for it! :)
Update: I checked the model download and the following models were present as .blend files: 4,6,13,17,18,19,21,22,24,27,31,32,33,36,39,40. Almost half of the entries were done in Blender!
Beautiful architecture !
What are the ones made with Blender ? ;)
@MaximB: good question – I checked the download file and added the info to the post.
i like number 12, conceptual stuff…
Very interesting.
Yours (Akamai) is certainly one of the best presented.
But, in terms of concept, I voted for #14.
Of the self-sustaining ideas, I think #14
is the one best thought out.
It’s a close one, most designs look so good and it’s really a matter of taste.
I liked design 22 most but 39 is close behind.
BTW
I don’t seems to manage to cast my vote, I click on my choice and nothing happens, and there is no “vote” button.
I’ve tried with Firefox3 and Opera … does anyone have the same problem or knows the solution ?
So? When do we start pooling money to build an offshore HQ for the Blender Foundation?
“BlenderNation” would take a whole different meaning.
(o^^)o o(^^)o o(^^o)
frikin’ shitty site! evertime i voted #6 it jumped to #41 or #39, so i think i voted for one of these now because their crappy site didn’t work!
@ marijn: Yes, I tried to vote myself (I’m the #32 entry) but the vote jumped to 38… I hope someone else has jumped on my project : )
I’ve sent an email to seasteading.org and they added a new voting option for those of us who are having trouble to vote in the current poll.
Now you can safely vote via this link : http://www.polldaddy.com/p/1590394/
This link is also added to the bottom of the original voting page.
I’ve confirmed that it works perfectly (at least on Firefox3).
You can now vote.
@MaximB, thanks for your help. but it doesn’t make much difference anymore, since i have already voted.
I’d have to give blessing with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
