We're posting it here first folks and will be following up with announcements via blog and newsletter. Another AMAZING contest and we are all thoroughly impressed with the submissions from both the KeyShot and GrabCAD community.
This was a very challenging contest to judge. There a a lot of great entries that meet the criteria of creativity, realism and composition. In the end, we had to narrow it down to one winner for best rendering, one for best animation and one for best student entry. Along with the 3D renderings and animations created, we also have a taste of some brilliant and very intricate engine models. Once again, we would like to congratulate everyone for an amazing job! Links to the forum post have been added so you can see all of the renderings submitted by the winners and congratulate them as well. Without further ado, I present, the winners of the KeyShot Engine Rendering contest!
