Congrats and thank you to all who participated in the Steampunk modeling challenge! I hope everyone who did got a lot out of it and had fun. It was a great subject and everyone submitted many unique and cool ideas and projects!

I'm introducing a badge system with this challenge. While only the 1st place winner will actually receive a prize, the badges are images that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place can all use however they'd like to to show their win off! When the new site goes live, the badges will be incorporated into the forum so we can tag certain members with this distinction and it will show up in the user's profile/posts, etc!

Without further ado...

Winners!

2nd Place

Excellent details and scene planning!


3rd Place

Very cool implementation of the theme!

Future badges will grow to include Honorable Mentions, and also perhaps things like Forum Favorite and Mod's Picks and so on. Feel free to let me know if you have any other badge ideas for the future!

Congrats again everyone! The new challenge will go up this weekend.

I second everything that was mentioned above. I especialy like the comments mike made below the winning entries.

Wow! i am really so humbled by this win.

There were some really neat and cool entries in this challenge and I think all the entrants should be proud of themselves.
Congratulation also to 3dM@niak and R@nSiD, great models guyS, i personally want to give a special mention to Perfecto who had the courage to enter with only 6 weeks Maya experience and completed a really nice entry.
I want to thank everyone who voted for me in the challenge and on the user poll and all the people that gave me encouragement during this challenge (practicing for my future Oscar speech) .
Lastly it would not have been possible without Mike and Kurt who inspired me to model with some great tutorials over the years, so a BIG thankyou to you guys and I think everyone would agree when I say " you're Great".

Tick i will complete it but give me time man i'm not in a production workflow here...lol

Gongrats Guys, well deserved!

Hey guys,
Good work here. Congrats to all the winners!

Looks like the simply sites are on track to becoming one of the premiere sites for 3D.

For those of you who didnt "place" keep it up and you'll have one of those shiny new award badges.
