They will get a large stack of other useful prizes for designing architectural 3D models, including SpaceMouse from 3Dconnexion. The aggregate worth of prizes is $ 23,000. Therefore, they presented their skills with marvelous models.

“CGTrader wanted to challenge 3D modelers working in the field of architecture. We were certain that designers will come up with some brilliant ideas and they proved that we were right. We are really glad that our desire to bring more realistic themes to computer graphics was fulfilled,” says Marius Kalytis, CEO of CGTrader.

Mohammad Yazdi Rad made the best 3D architectural exterior model. It is called “Chaharbagh School”. The author will be awarded with V-Ray license and a set of other valuable prizes. signSTUDIOS became the 1st runner-up for a work called “Realistic Old Ruinous House”. 3D designer Ruslan won the 2nd runner-up title in best exterior category. He made a model called “Gallery”. Both runners-up will be awarded with a solid package of software and hardware for 3D modeling.

The best 3D architectural interior model is “Luxurious Bedroom” by sparrow. The 1st runner-up came up with an idea of minimalist design. Javier Wainstein made a 3D model called “Bedroom Minimalist”. Michal Sekela became the 2nd runner-up and will be awarded for his design “Kitchen Modern”.

Vilnius, Lithuania (PRWEB) November 28, 2013

The fast-growing marketplace, which recently announced a 3D printing partnership with Sculpteo, is increasing its 3D printing ambitions. This time CGTrader is challenging the idea of gift-giving itself. Designers are invited to join Christmas 3D Printing Challenge and create 3D models that could be 3D printed and become great gifts or decorations for the forthcoming holiday.

The authors of the best Christmas model and the best Christmas portfolio will get magnificent gifts as well. Each of them will be awarded with 500 USD from CGTrader and Filabot Wee for making 3D printer filament. The runner-ups will also be awarded with valuable prizes – which include filaments for 3D printers from Colorfabb, gift cards from Sculpteo, filaments and promotional features from Kentstrapper and 3D printing service at 3D Print UK.

“Christmas is a special time of the year for a lot of people. As the world of manufacturing is changing, we think that giving 3D printable gifts instead of having a nightmare of Christmas rush in a supermarket will become a standard practice. We would like to encourage our designer community to participate in this trend and create outstanding Christmas gifts and decorations,“ says Marius Kalytis, CEO of CGTrader.com.

CGTrader is currently running another challenge for 3D designers as well – the 3D Architecture Challenge, which looks for the best architectural 3D designs in the market. There were some ambitious and notorious 3D modeling challenges on this marketplace earlier. One of them was Staples 3D Printing Challenge, which was used to define the best 3D print-ready model which could be printed out of paper.
