>> How this challenge will be judged:

1. Voting on this challenge will take place on October 30th.
We will not have a Finalists Week on this Challenge. All entries will be judged between October 29th and October 30th.  Judging will be done by our 3 Judges in 3 categories.  The 3 Categories are:

Artistic Design- Eye catching design, the coolness of the model.
Technical Accuracy – Mechanical or realistic accuracy and detail
Modeling Efficiency – Polygonal construction, modeling skill.

Current 3DVIA Judges Panel:

Matthew Baron – 3D Enthusiast Judge
Juan del Rio – DCC Judge
Don Swavely – CAD Judge

Each category will receive a value from 1-10 from each Judge. Each model will receive the average value of all the judges votes combined plus the percentage of their community vote multiplied by 10 (ie. if you received 45% of the votes, you would get 4.5).

2. The Winner Will Be Announced on November 3rd
We will post the winner here on November 3rd…and announce the next challenge.
