Christmas Competition 2017 Results

Since announcing the competition a month ago, 24 artists entered into this holiday themed competition. Here's who won!

3rd Place - Morgan Grandjean

Cute model! Love the turntable you included too. A very traditional old timey take on Christmas! For your hard efforts you've been awarded 6-months of Poliigon Lite!

2nd Place - Thomas Berard

Gorgeous! The amount of work that went into this scene is evident in your included progression gif. I also like that you went beyond the usual Christmas themes of lights and snow (not that there's anything wrong with that!) and tried to make something new.

For your hard work you've been awarded 6-months of Poliigon Gold!

1st Place - Tomas Madr

Congratulations Tomas! Everything from the aesthetics, story and technical skills are  spot on. All throughout the scene you can spot signs of attention to detail: from the frills on the girl's dress, to the accurate folds on the paper. A well earned first place!

For your hard effort you've been awarded the Grand Prize of 12-months of Poliigon Gold.

Thank you to everyone who entered into any of the competitions this year! Seeing the community renders has actually been a big source of inspiration for our asset team, as it's encouraging to see artists using them. So thank you!

Look forward to seeing what you make in 2018! :)

Wow. The combination of green fluorescent lights and fog is just killer! Great mood! By Bahadir Özbek

Nice visualization of a wooden sauna! By Tobias Schmid.

Simple but striking. Love that vibrant sunlight! by Časlav Livada.

Beautiful combination of nature and wood materials by Asbjørn Pedersen!

Another month has passed, so there's another batch of awesome renders from the community!

Here's our favourite renders by Poliigon users in April:

Created by Thomas Berard using Blender. Love the interior design! A really bold industrial look, but still cozy. Nice one!

Created by Fabrizio Luchetti using 3dsmax and Corona Renderer. That fabric looks incredible! Total show stealer :P The wrinkles really help to sell the believability of the rest of the scene. Well done!

Created by Iván Zabalza González using 3dsmax and Corona renderer. Nice work making the scene feel lived in. The leather chair looks comfy :)

Created by Ján Morek using Blender. Great use of the tree backdrops to make the scene look expansive. The rest of the scene is great as well. Love that blue hour lighting :)

Created by George Turmanidze using Blender. Nice use of the new wooden floor textures! As usual the soft lighting really helps draw attention to the forms of your furniture. Great setting :)

Created by Amer Farah using 3dsmax and Vray. Wow! What a captivating image! You clearly spent many hours honing everything from the tire tracks to the people. The end result looks like it's lifted out of a top-end architectural magazine. Well done!

Render of the Month:

Created by Marcin Borowiak using 3dsmax, World Machine and Corona Renderer.

There can only be one winner, and that's Marcin, who made this entire scene using Poliigon's snow, road, cobblestone, overlays, rock textures and even HDR sky lighting! I love the motion in the scene, as you can really feel the movement of the car (I just hope he makes it around that corner up ahead :P).

Great job Marcin! As your prize you've won 12 months free Gold Membership to Poliigon!
