NVIDIA, CGSociety Announces 3rd NVArt Contest Winners
 SANTA
CLARA, CA, Aug 26, 2008 - NVISION 08 - NVIDIA and CGSociety today announced
the winners of the third NVArt digital art competition. The theme was
"Digital Fusion." Artists from around the world were invited to submit
computer-generated imagery of "awe-inspiring fusions" of 2D and 3D designs.
"In this competition we asked the entrants to create inspiring design
fusions that were more than the sum of their 2D and 3D parts - designs that
leap from the page and into 3D on their way into our imaginations," said
Mark Snoswell, president of CGSociety, a global organization for digital
artists. "Whether rendered flat as 2D or sculpted as 3D, great design
distinguishes itself as something special that is far more than the sum of
its parts."
Selected NVArt award winners will be on display at
NVISION 08, an event for visual
computing professionals and enthusiasts, on August 25-27, 2008 in San Jose,
California. NVArt submissions have been showcased recently at the San Jose
Museum of Art in Silicon Valley and the Tate Modern in London.
