Building Utopia: Design Visualization Challenge
If you are looking for a challenge to keep your skills fresh over the winter holidays Building Utopia is here. A super cool design and visualization challenge put together by NVIDIA, Lenovo, Chaos Group, KitBash3D and CGarchitect.com
Building Utopia is an international competition providing designers, artists, and innovators whether student, professional, or enthusiast, with a platform to showcase their work to a global audience.
With the launch of Chaos Group's new Vantage product, which uses the RT Cores in NVIDIA RTX technology to enable the real-time exploration of V-Ray authored scenes within a 100 percent ray-traced environment, a whole new work of possibility has been opened up.
To enter the contest, you’ll need a CGarchitect account to submit your 30-60 second animation in QuickTime MOV or MP4 format. Submissions for this competition must be rendered with Chaos Vantage using the KitBash3D assets provided. Post processing such as color adjustments, editing, and sound design are allowed. The content of the animation must be based on the provided assets. You can supplement the scene with the additional the assets provided to you. You can also include your own geometry and textures if desired. But your creation should be limited to the centre island of the city. Participants can create the animation based on animating the camera, adjusting the lighting of the scene, as well as some as well as other animation that is possible inside of Vantage.
A jury will select the top ten winning scenes based on their creativity in the use of materials, overall originality, narrative, use of lighting, and cinematography. The public will then vote on shortlisted submissions based on the scene's quality of content, complexity, and detail; general interactivity; and the innovative use of Chaos Vantage.
