Viz contest november 2008

It's time for our second competition. This time, the competition will be a simulated project where you start with cad-drawings and work towards a finished product.

HiLo has bought 550m2 on the 6th floor of an office building in Namsos.
You've been hired in as a vizualiser to make a suggestion for the interior design of the office space.

Some simple guidlines are given:
- The office space has to have a functional and modern expression
- The office space has to have at least -one- meeting/lectureroom
- The office space has to have at least -five- workstations/offices
- The customer want three different freeze-frames for marketing and promotion purposes, two detailed interior shots (optional motiv / camera angle), and an ilustrativ overview picture of the entire floor.

This area of the site is only available for registered users of the site, so if you haven't registered yet, this is the perfect opportunity! Registration is free and non-binding. You can cancel your membership at any time.

2nd prize:

• Portolio on visualisere.no.

The competition will be open until December 31st 2008 and the winning admission will be published at visualisere.no no more than five workdays later.

The rules are as follows (these can be adjusted until November 10th 2008, see the Discussion board for potential changes):

- Use the existing geometry. Do not change existing geometry. This is because part of the challenge for the competition is to recreate a building that already exists.

- You may add elements to the model if nessecary to create a 'good feeling' for the office space.

- The use of external models is restricted to "freebies" and ofcourse custom models you make yourself. You cant use evermotion/dosch/rpc's etc unless they are free and available for all contesters. See the "link" section on this site to find links to freebies.

- All contributions has to be delivered before midnight on December 31st 2008. Deliver your contribution via the deliverythread at the discussion board. (will be opened two weeks before the competition ends). The maximum resolution for the contribution is 1024 at the longest. We recommend putting a signature on the contribution. This to avoid prospective problems if someone downloads pictures from visualisere.no
