>> How this challenge will be judged:

1. Voting on this challenge runs from August 4th through August 8th
On July August 4th, we will post and announce the “finalists”…or the best 5 models as chosen by our 3DVIA staff.  During the Finalists week, the 5 models will be judged on 3 categories by our 3DVIA Judges and by popular vote from our community.

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 August 11th
We will post the winner here on August 11th…and announce the next challenge.
