3DTin design challenge
Okay, we’re running a design challenge with 3DTin during the following 4 weeks. Before we get started and to get everyone up to speed, here’s a small recap on 3DTin:
3DTin lets anyone make anything simply because it’s easy and intuitive to use. It simply runs in the browser (though it has to be up to date, as it uses something called Web GL), is free to use and requires no experience in 3D design. All you need is the will and imagination to explore the 3D world. 3DTin lets you save and share the designs (which are called ‘sketches’) you make. The tool also lets you export your files for 3D printing.
“We are running out of excuses to not build something.” – Jayesh Salvi (Founder 3DTin)
So, how does the challenge work? Easy, design as many awesome models on 3DTin as possible during the month of May. Everyone who makes sketches during this time automatically enters the challenge. Both 3DTin and i.materialise will rate your sketches. The total ratings of all your sketches will define your score. The top 3 will receive a FREE 3D PRINT and a lifetime 3DTin premium membership.
What you need to know:
- Go to www.3dtin.com
- Contest Duration: May 1st to May 31st, 2012.
- All Sketches must be original. Although 3DTin encourages sharing via Creative Commons licensing, for this challenge only sketches made by single users from scratch will count towards the final score.
- All Sketches must be new. Those created before May 1st will not be counted towards the final score.
- Scores will be calculated from the ratings given by a panel of judges from 3DTin and i.materialise.
- The top 3 winners will get a FREE 3D print of their chosen sketch from i.materialise. They will also get a vendor account with at i.materialise to sell their models and earn money from their work.
- i.materialise will decide the material and the size of the winning 3D prints.
- You can submit any number of sketches to win the challenge. Your total score will be the sum of scores you receive for all your sketches.
- Decision of the Judges will be final.
Good luck!
