PRESS RELEASE

Id Software and Polycount.com along with sponsors Discreet, Nvidia and PlanetQuake are pleased to announce the professional judging results for the QuakeCon 2000 Map_Object Model Contest. Contestants from around the world entered Quake III Arena compatible .md3 format models to be judged by artists, modelers and level designers working with the Quake III Game Engine.

The Judges included:
