V-Ray Anniversary Challenge

Kris — Thu, 17 May 2012 10:17:22 +0000

V-Ray is turning 10 so what better way to celebrate than with a new challenge. If you have time to enter, have a look at these prizes. Motivated?

Now here is the challenge:

“Create an image to tell the story of a decisive moment” -

Imagine the split second when everything changes. It could be an instant from history that altered everything on Earth. Or a pivotal point in time that changed you personally. Perhaps a knockout punch in a heavy weight championship. The last block placed on the Pyramids. The first human step on the moon. A gunshot, a wrong step, or a glance, the decisive moment when fate propelled the world to greatness or drove it to the point of destruction.

Enter here.

Um, wow!

Underwater Hotel Concept

And I think that Dubai would actually pull this off! Set aside scuba diving or shark-cage diving – go ahead and book yourself into the comfort of an underwater hotel.

If you had fears, there is a resurfacing emergency feature, phew.
