Hi everybody,

The TDT3D website launch his Architecture Contest 2009 :

Great architecture contest around the water and the fluidity of the elements.

This contest aims to promote the wonders of architecture married to water and the fluidity of the elements. Ex: Old watermill, Australian museum, Nurai water villa, waterworld,… your project must be based on an existing architecture or imagined one, you are free to bring your creative touch!

Realise A3 format 150 dpi JPEG image or a 3D Realtime visit of the project of your choice

For your information, I participate last year in the Realtime category with Unity (and won the first price :roll: ). Thus don’t hesitate to take part in this contest.

hey dede…I’d really like to see it, but for some reasons the non-forums links won’t open…

anon_5154459 · April 2, 2009, 7:45pm

ah ? Everything work fine for me.
But the 2 files of the visit are heavy : 27,5 Mo each. It’s perhaps the problem ?

nm8shun · April 3, 2009, 4:00am

Yup. Works fine now. Not sure what was going on earlier…

Thanks.

anon_12602630 · April 3, 2009, 10:47am

Thanks. That’s very nice. Have you started work on this year’s entry?

anon_5154459 · April 3, 2009, 1:16pm

Not really. But I have choose my subject :

the Tadao Ando’s “Chapel on the Water”

Interesting.
Have you visited Japan? You seem very interested in the architecture there…

anon_5154459 · April 6, 2009, 7:51am

No, never. But who know, perhaps one day. It’s probably a superb trip, very “unaccustomed” (I’m not sure if it’s the correct word for “dépaysant”) for a european like me. But it’s also a very expensive trip

Yes, after the Ryoan-ji Rock Garden last year, I chose this building from Tadao Ando, probably the most famous contemporary Japanese architect.
It is a pure coincidence. finally I suppose :roll:
But it’s true that the Japanese culture is very “intriguing” (“fascinante” in french)

Ando is one of my favorite architects. Can’t wait to see your finished work.

Thanks for the reminder, Dede. This looks interesting.

I am curious if any Unity users plan on participating in the “virtual visits” category, meaning a submittal using real time graphics.
