Dear reader,
It has been our pleasure to host and judge a wide
variety of contests this year. We are very proud of our users and the work
they create, and each month we show some of the best artwork produced in our
monthly Gallery contest.
 |
However, we understand that it may be
daunting for a newcomer to trueSpace to put their work up for judging
against users who have years of trueSpace experience - and that is why
we held the Absolute Beginners contest, open only to those who
have been using trueSpace for 6 months or less!
We also have more details about the
trueTown contest - be sure to read and to register if you plan on
coming! We are looking forward to this event that will bring together
Caligari and our community for what promises to be a great evening! |
We are pleased to reveal more stories from our
users, showing the work they do and letting them tell us about it directly.
Please keep sending in your stories, as hearing about what trueSpace has
enabled our users to do is by far the favorite part of our work here at
Caligari! You never know, your story may make it into the newsletter next
time!
Finally, we are moving the Caligari Community
Forums onto new hardware, due to a problem with the existing hardware. This
will mean that the Forums will be offline for several hours during September
28th, possibly into the early hours on September 29th. Unfortunately, we
lost some users' registration details, and if you find this has happened to
you, please
re-register (and if you are not a member of the forums, then why not
take this chance to sign up!).
Please note that once on the new hardware, the
forums will have a new address, and you will need to update your bookmarks.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this move, and we will do all
we can to minimize the disruption caused and get the forums back up and
running on their new home as quickly as possible!
Roman Ormandy,
President

Absolute Beginners
Contest
We recently ran a contest for
those of you who had just started using trueSpace in the last 6
months, and are pleased to announce the results!
See who the winners
were! |
This edition we venture back into the past with a
working saw mill just like the ones from the 1700s, and venture into
the future with visualizations of buildings before they even begin
construction!

Grist to the Mill
Ed Spoerl does volunteer work at the Taylor Sawmill in Derry,
New Hampshire. Aiming to help people understand the workings of this
preserved and reconstructed marvel, he decided that the best way to
answer would be to illustrate the workings of the mill using 3D
graphics.

very successful one man business!

exactly!
