This tank had some interesting animation sequences, and an intriguing design, which earned it a Commendable rating!

Mirosław says: "This "light" which can be seen at front side of the vehicle is the scanner, which scans the area/buildings for robots and others mechanical machines. The barrels at the back are ammunition for the main weapon. The texture one the loaded barrel (in the turret) changes to red on empty and you need to reload. Empty barrels can be refilled and are stored in the back of the tank when emtpy."

An interesting crash animation was good enough to get this a Commendable!

The spokes are made from a texture map to keep the poly count low, and can be animated with an animated texture.
 

A surprising companion to the bicycle model was this longship, two forms of transport you wouldn't normally associate with each other!

Kev was able to display more of his texture work on this model than on the bike, and that plus the simple-but-effective bobbing animation got this into the Honorable Mention category.

The judges liked this because it actually used a skeleton to control the movement of various parts of the ship. Charles says "This is inspired by a game I loved in my childhood Space Quest. A picture of the ship can be found here

I started with modeling the head and didn’t use any reference images. As I progressed to the body, I envisioned a scorpion-like tail that could be used as a weapon, both to fire and swing at other spacecraft. The end result is a unique and interesting design which juxtaposes traditional ideas of what a spacecraft should look like."

Another creative design was this flying dragon ship. The ship's head actually turns from side to side, and the mouth opens to fire a fireball, and the imagination and creativity in the design earned this an Honorable Mention.

Jared says: "The idea for this magical ship came from a role-playing game I was running for some friends. The ship is created by wizards, and is made to mimic a dragon. Its hide like outer shell is resistant to fire, and it mounts 9 deadly cannons, and the various parts are controlled with magic, not ropes, so the crew is made up of expert gunners, navigators, and marines for boarding actions. Its captained by a powerful wizard who controls the vessel from the head of the dragon."

A great British institution brought to life in gameSpace! This neat little Mini even features the Union Jack on the roof, and the good texture and effective polygon count made this a winner with the judges.

James said : "The model was created from a 8x8 gridded plane, point edited to a profile drawing I used for reference, and then swept and mirrored, allusing GameSpace 1.5.

Textures were then created from photographs and edited in Adobe Photoshop, with the UV mapping made using Ultimate Unwrap3d."
 

This small aeroplane was an innovative design, with clean and simple modeling, texturing and animation.

Marcin is 25 years old, lives in Poland, and started with trueSpace3SE several years ago. Marcin has this to say about the little aeroplane:

"It is part of 'big' project for myself and my friend Artur Pacek, a very good programmer, who the world will hear about one day :-) It is  an interactive demo that will be something like simulator, but set in a bug's world. There will be no gun because I hate violence. Our game will be peaceful. :) "

The texture and modeling on this finally decided the judges in their selection. Congratulations to Tom on his win - here is what he says about the model:

"This is a 1938 Chevy Coupe dirt track race car. When I first started
building this, I was using trueSpace, but I couldn't lower the polycount enough. Once I got gameSpace and recreated it, I got the polycount right, thanks to having more experience!

I created it using a flat plane in gameSpace, which I then divided into an 8x8 grid, onto which I mapped a drawing of the car. Then I worked on the shape of the car, deleting points that were not part of the car shape.
