Awesome, was not expecting this. Congratulations to the other entrants as well.
I'm looking forward to using Octane as it develops. Nice piece of software guys.

Great work everyone. Knew my chances were pretty much gone after the first few entries came in. Well I look forward to the 1.0 release so that I can continue my work with Octane and RIB and possibly port my animation over here. Again everyone, great work. You all truly deserve your prizes. :)

Hi ! I'm just back to home after 3 bad and tiring days for nothing in a very cold weather.

This morning, I had just one hour to wait for my return train, and I found a little cybercafe close to the station, where I have spent ten minutes on a very slow machine, to look at the competition result.

So, Congratulations to all the winners , and also to all other artists who submitted very nice images :!:

I espescially liked the Octane chase by Tommy5, Favela by Pedrojafet, and the images of the Lubitel 2 camera by hims3lf.

When I was young, after the 6x9 620 Lumière folding camera given by my grand father, the Lubitel 2 has been the first camera that I purchased with my savings.

Later, I purchased a second one (used) and I made a handle to put them side by side, triggered by an Y cable : I used them a long time to make stereo shots on transparent slides.

This past week as been very exiting, and I really felt inlove with Octane :lol:

Now, I have to search in the depth of my pockets and drawers some money to buy a better graphic card and a new power supply.

Be sure that I will purchase Octane when it will allow to save the scenes ;)

I own a licence of an other well known unbiaised render engine, but I must say that what I have discovered with GPU rendering and Octane interactivity is quite miraculous ! It is so less tedious to adjust materials interactively ! Images are of quality and rendering is fast, even with a low power GPU like my 8800 GTS 512 ! In fact, as I rendered mainly big scenes I have been more limited by my memory amount than by the GPU power.

I wish long life to Octane !

Hi roubal,

It's a pity you did'nt win a prize, since you submitted so much images...
Nevertheless, there will be more competitions coming soon, with more prizes to win.
