3DVIA Challenge 16 Champion(s)!
Battleships being one of my favorites and because of the rule changes till we can allow voting again I decided to do something diffrent. With soo many great ships I decided to choose 1 over all winner and 2 others to stand with him in our new armada. Our over all winner is Marian with his Sarmizegetusa Regia, and standing on his left and right shoulders are XQH_XXX‘s Punisher Battleship and Kiml‘s Explorer Ship. Marian’s ship shows a a magnificent grasp of ship design and construction. XQH’s ship is a 3DVIA Shape masterpiece, suprising many of the judges. Kiml’s ship has a fantastic silhouete and really evokes stories of fantastic voyages across the stars. Congratulations everyone!

Time permitting I’m going to create more of these shots, including all the fantastic ship entries into one large poster. I created this using the 3DVIA for Photoshop Plug-in. I’ll make available for all here. :) Thank you all for participating!
Our next challenge will have a prize but the one you expect! :) And will be open to everyone. Woot!
In case you missed them, here is the Challenge Champion and his Captains!
Our next Challenge will begin next week, and I’ve been going through the suggestions on the Challenge Forum Thread so if you have any late additions be sure to include them soon! Start practicing for next week, because next time, you could be our Champion!

Congratulations to the Winners
Marian has always been good with Spaceships… even before the challenge the had tonnes of superb crafts in his kitty… so i had little doubt that he’ll be close to winning…
Partha has done a commendable job with 3DVIA Shape and a well deserved place amongst the toppers…
As for Kiml’s Explorer Ship, this one was my favorite :)
Great job everyone… looking forward to the next Challenge Juan…
Warm Regards
Great NEWS Juan………..
Thanks for choosing me as Champions……..CONGRATS to other winners too……..
Congratulation Marian, you won the battle with ‘ Sarmizegetusa Regia’ ,Excellent art!
Partha, your ‘Punisher Battleship’ is model of great design and texturs, I am sure it must be difficult for Juan to decide winner.
and Kimi’s Explorer ship is a very outstanding thought!
Congratulations to all winners.

I’m deeply honored to be a runner up in this competition, and I thank everyone for their comments here and on my model.
As you’re going to do another render, cold you ask the owners of the ships ho long they are and do one to scale?
I was going to do them to scale, but scale is relative in 3D :) and I decided to scale them so that the winner was slightly bigger. Then again, your ship could just be very far away no? :)
Congratulation to all the chosen :)
Marian did the best.
I’ll waiting the next challenge
Oh, another point of curiosity, will the numerical results be posted anywhere?
Congratulations!
I posted the winner compilation above to the 3DVIA Facebook page. The winners should go and tag their models on Facebook if you have an account.

I’m honoured to be the winner of this competition.
Thanks you guys for the opportunity to make another ship, if it hadn’t been for this competition that ship design would have never entered my mind.
Hope the next one will have the same impact on my imagination.
Cheers, and congratulations to all the Champions and participants for their imaginative work.
congratulations to all 3 winners :D
I was expecting that one of these three ships will be winner :p finally it’s the three of them =D
great work all
what happens when the juries can’t decide wich model is the best?
they make all 3 winners!
that happens when you have no pool and age restrictions
however, congrats again :P
The voting was so close that it was unfair to not share the spotlight, especially with a contest that no longer had only one prize :) But I have been having some discussions on what the next challenge winner will win. I think the next challenge’s prize will be better and cooler than any other and the only thing left to decide is the subject of the challenge….
make to don a surprise
trucks should be
