What is the PhotoWorks Contest?

The PhotoWorks Contest is a monthly event that allows users of both PhotoWorks and PhotoView 360 to compete against each other to see who can produce the most realistic, or simply best-looking, rendering of a particular 3D model.

At the beginning of each month I will post a new model for download from this website. You will have around 30 days to complete a rendering of the model using either PhotoWorks or PhotoView 360. All rendered images must be submitted to the website by the contest deadline and will then be displayed for a period of five days, during which time contest participants and other site visitors may vote for their favourite image (please only vote once).

Once the votes have been counted and a winner has been found, their image will be posted on the front page of this website until the following month's contest has ended. All winning images will be displayed in the Winners' Gallery.

Since the main purpose of this contest is learning, winners will be encouraged (but not required) to post their winning PhotoWorks/SolidWorks files and/or settings for sharing with other contestants. All contestants will be given full credit for their work.
