Hail, beastmasters, wild modelers and fauna formers! The CG Wildlife Challenge is over! You have worked and modeled plenty of wildlife for us to judge. And here we are, having selected a winner and a runner up for each of the three categories.

And here are the fabulous prizes from our sponsors! FoxRenderfarm grants rendering fees, Exlevel is giving away GrowFX licenses, 3DCoat is handing out Professional licenses, Video Copilot will grant you 3D shader bundles, Dosch Design has some Tree Libraries and CGCookie is more than happy to give you memberships!

High tech, low life - this is the mantra of cyberpunk. Where megacorporations run wild and dark cities are showered in bright neon lights, where machine melds with man and monomolecular katanas abound, there’s cyberpunk. This genre is more than three decades old and has seen several of its predictions come to pass. Maybe we’ll start using internet with our 3D avatars jumping around the cyberspace, just like our ancestors imagined it. Thanks, VR! But while the bionic future is not exactly here yet, it certainly has a hold on the imagination of 3D artists everywhere. Here are some cyberpunk pieces to inspire you to model on the cutting edge. Watch your back, model for VR, conserve polys, and never, ever, cut a deal with a spambot.

Say hello to Okdraw, an ambitious team of architectural modelers. It's a two man team, so you could even call them a dynamic duo! We gave them a few questions and they told us all about architectural modeling and exacting detail in models.
