QUAKECON 2001 MAP OBJECT MODEL WINNERS ANNOUNCED

The final results from the QuakeCon 2001 Model Contest were announced Sunday, August 12th at QuakeCon 2001. The contest, sponsored by Discreet, NVidia, Linksys, id Software, and Polycount challenged model makers around the world to produce models which could be used as the centerpieces of maps; models which would demand that maps be built to house them; models which would literally knock the contest judges’ socks off.

The contest was announced first on the www.polycount.com website and the models will be displayed and made available for download there. Discreet, NVidia and Linksys provided a generous selection of their products as prizes.

The 18 model makers, who entered submitted 22 separate models or suites of models, comprised of over 50 individual model components. “The contestants really outdid themselves this year. The talent they exhibited was overwhelming,” said contest coordinator Paul Jaquays of id Software. “I can’t wait to see these models start appearing in game maps.”

First Place:
From Discreet: the 3D Studio Max suite (3DS Max r4, Character Studio, Reactor)
