Earlier this year I believe I mentioned a CG competition over on the CG Architect site<\/a>. I also believe I said I’d keep tabs on it. I didn’t. Instead I’ve just now surfed through and have been looking at some of the final entries (Link to rankings page<\/a>) including an animation that caught my attention (Link)<\/a> – not because it’s the winner, but because one of the cg characters in the piece reminded me of Half-Life 2<\/a> and I got to thinking that some sections of it could very well have been done in a game engine. You might recall the Fallingwater animation\/game level I’d mentioned previously (reLink<\/a>), so of course I found this interesting. Anyway, you can check out that animation and a few others on the Japan Nature Dome webpage (Link)<\/a>. Out of curiousity I’m looking for more plans and elevations and it at least shows a cross-section of the dome and site plan. No luck on the rest so far.<\/p>\n By the way, entrants had to submit three images for approval to qualify for entry. Those submissions are in a longish thread which makes for a nice reference source (Link)<\/a> with some interesting ideas on display.<\/p>\n {Image Copyright \u00c2\u00a9 2006 Sean De Boer}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Earlier this year I believe I mentioned a CG competition over on the CG Architect site.
