Action Hero Contest: The Winners

[aurick]

The results are in!

175 people entered the Action Hero Contest (http://www.pixologic.com/contest/hero/) and the results are fantastic!

After two months of effort by the community, our judging panel narrowed the list down to ten finalists.

The criteria that were used by the judges were:
:b3: Success in portraying the contest theme of a super hero or villain in a dramatic pose worthy of a comic book cover.
:b3: Quality of the sculpting and accuracy of the finished pose.
:b3: Displayed ZBrush skill, especially with TransPose.
:b3: Community Participation within the artist's own thread as well as in the form of encouragement and advice for others.
All ten finalists were guaranteed to receive prizes. The big question still remained, however: Who would prove to be the big overall winners? For that, we turned to the community with a week of voting here at ZBrushCentral. That ended on Saturday, and we have tallied the results.

Now it's time to reveal the winners. Congratulations!

Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we post detailed "making of" articles for each of the top five winners. We have also reopened the Action Hero contest forum (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/forumdisplay.php?f=93) so that members can once again discuss each thread.

We at Pixologic would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the contest. While only a limited number of prizes were possible, we believe that everyone who joined in was a winner. It has been a great pleasure to see the overwhelming enthusiasm on everyone's parts, and all the comments about how you've learned a lot just by participating. Way to go!

We'd also like to thank our super sponsors (http://www.pixologic.com/contest/hero/sponsors/) for their generous support in donating over $12,000 in prizes for this contest: Axiotron, NextEngine, Offload Studios, Wacom, 3D World, the Gnomon Workshop and Ballistic Publishing.

[Webhead]

Congrats to all the winners! The only predictions I was close on was Dr Root, and that they might give Furio honorable mention, which he more than deserved for his Gra 'Nox. I was totally wrong on who the other top finishers would be. But, hey, at one time I even thought Gra 'Nox might take it all. So what do I know? All great anyway. Congrats again guys!

Congratulations to everyone!

The one I was rooting for didn't make it in the top five, but everyone who entered is top notch, even those who didn't make top ten.

Now, I have a LOT of reading to do. =)

Congrats to all and make sure you guys post up those pictures of the Prints when they are done!!!

[bisenberger]

Very cool stuff!!! and the Whip Threads are loaded with great information.

It looks like the Grand, First, and Second place winners should be making training DVD's for Gnomon instead of receiving them.:idea:

[jempix]

Congrats to the winners...Followed them all up till the end, but sincerely thought the Hedgehog would bag it all...Hedgehog and Overwatch were my top two...well,in the edn, tuche to the winners.

[jarlaxle00]

I voted for Overwatch because I thought he really fit the superhero theme, the pose was really powerful and forceful, the detail was amazing, and it was really well painted and lit. Hedgehog was a very very close second they were almost tied in my mind, Overwatch just had that edge of intimidation that I really liked. Dr. Root, Witiko, Mantis Man, and Widow Maker, were all amazing designs and beautifully sculpted but I just felt they fell a little short of nailing the theme of the contest. Amazing contest though, one of the highest quality I've seen. Well done finalists and everyone that entered, so much great work, really inspired me. :tu: :tu:

[Ayden Cross]

Congrats everyone! Ridiculously awesome work!

[mojoanimeo]

Very deserved wins. These are amazing sculpts. I love the hedgehog guy the detail is astounding. Some of my favorates are the ones that took the more artsy route such as the guy with the girl coming out of his tatoo. It makes my jaw drop.

Great job!

[cetrian]

simply amazing mate, great composition!!!!!!!!!!!

[virtuousart]

I find it funny that the winners are usually people who don't need gnomon training dvds in the first place. Great work guys!

[KillahPriest]

I find it funny that the winners are usually people who don't need gnomon training dvds in the first place. Great work guys!There's always more to learn.

Plus, what kind of contests awards last place (the guy who really needs them)? :lol:

[Moni-Poroni]

Bear in mind render passes are different for every render you do. There is no set black and white way to do it.

Have any of you guys got your 3D prints yet?....:D
