UWA 3D Art & Design Challenge in Second Life

Fans of machinima and 3D modeling should check out the University of Western Australia’s campus in Second Life where they regularly hold Art & Design Challenges.  The most recent challenge has just completed and winners announced.

At a loss for words, Igor said, ‘I was genuinely surprised, I thought I got that one award, and was happy’. FreeWee helped him out, saying, ‘The UWA 3D Art & Design Challenge has rapidly emerged as one of the top showcases for virtual arts. I am grateful to the selection committee for selecting my Mutoscope project and to JayJay, Quadrapop and the UWA Imagine Challenge for providing such a stimulating venue for creative work. I never have any expectation of winning competitions. I’m more interested in just participating. To be selected for a prize among such a remarkable field of entries is both startling and truly humbling.’

Pictures of the entries and SLURL’s to their location inworld are available on their site.
