The 3Dflow Competition “MADI Throwback” together with MADI by IUAV University of Venice, now at its 6th edition, is officially concluded, and we cannot wait to announce the winners!
For this edition, we had a special guest that joined us! 3Dconnexion kindly provided the students with their SpaceMouse® devices for testing during the contest and offered one SpaceMouse® wireless as grand prize for the first place!
The contest was, as usual, addressed to all the MADI students who attended the Photogrammetry and 3D Modeling course with 3D artist and MADI Professor Gabriele Simonetta. Always a very welcomed theme during the previous years, we wanted to keep the memories as main focus and give the possibility for the students to live again their favourite moments through their CGI images, all while putting into practice the workflows using 3DF Zephyr and the SpaceMouse®!
Now, without further ado, let’s see the winners that brought back some of their “Blast from the Past” vibes ✨ – Final render on the left and clay render on the right!
Podium
1st Place: Martina Morelli
With her “La bottega di Geppetto” (trad. “Geppetto’s Shop”), Martina manages to successfully reconstruct a quite challenging item, with lots of micro-details, all through a very well done composition and a skillful usage of lighting that blinks an eye to all the references of the original story. For these reasons, Martina gets the 1st place and wins the grand prize of this challenge: 12 months of 3DF Zephyr license, and the SpaceMouse® wireless! Congratulations!!
2nd Place: Angelica Rizzo
Through “Awakening Memory”, Angelica perfectly explores the idea of memory through the symbolic “awakening” of the scanned mask, purchased during a beautiful trip to Bali, depicting Garuda, a powerful mythological figure in Hinduism and Buddhism. With an excellent composition and atmosphere, Angelica gets the 2nd place and wins 6 months of 3DF Zephyr license! Great work!
3rd Place: Edoardo Bidoggia
Edoardo’s image strongly connects with his favourite sport and passion since always, swimming. With an extremely photographic vibe and composition, plus the scanned chronometer well included in the various elements that form the image, Edoardo gets 3rd place and wins 3 months of 3DF of Zephyr license! Keep it up!
Matteo Piva and Vittorio Mastrogiacomo both deserve this special mention and win 3 months of 3DF of Zephyr license!
Congratulations everyone!!
Matteo Piva – “NATSUKASHII”
Vittorio Mastrogiacomo – “Carrying Horizons”
