CGSociety :: Special Feature
16 December 2012
The Winners of The Foundry and CGSociety's Texture Challenge have been chosen and here are the results. Some amazing texture creations were entered and a heady array of patterns were adorned on the model. The Foundry, makers of the 3D digital paint tool, MARI, supplied participants with the model "Witch Doctor" by the wonderful Jakob Kousholt. As well as this, The Foundry offered a 60-day trial of the MARI software for the duration of the challenge, which was plenty of time for participants who'd maybe not used the software before, to get to grips with this incredibly powerful tool.
There was even a CGWorkshop staged to allow artists to get a headstart and introduction to the workflow best suited to the MARI texturing pipeline.
At the time of the competition closing, there had been a very healthy 266 MARI licences registered for the competition, 536 images uploaded and of them, 40 contestants pushed through to upload their final entries.
CGSociety and The Foundry would also like to thank NVIDIA as well for the involvement and sponsorship of the contest.
