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 :)
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

This is definately number 1 compared to the others! Congrats Sander!
Gotta say that is a gorgeous creation. Well done Sander.
Congrats Sander !
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 1280x1024 :P
Cheers for Sander and Blender!
Congratulations Sander
tokugawa: I think it's inspired by Escher - but I might be wrong though
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Since the appearance of this image it is in my personal favourites folder. Very clean, very cool setup. Congratulations!!
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.
Congratulations Sander!!
Gez: Thx
We can clearly read about that in details. What a relieve :) It's great... actually if You copy-paste and filp it left/right you can have a reaaaly werid wallpaper :P
This piece deserves the award. Its really such a well done piece.
Congrats!
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
Great job, man!
