Vectric and VectorArt 3D have teamed up to offer some new Free 3D models (worth $100)
for use with Vector Art 3D Machinist and VCarve Pro.

We are also running a Free Prize Draw (http://www.vectric.com/VA3D/comp_1/index.htm) that anyone can enter by downloading the
Free VA3D Machinist software and Trial version of VCarve Pro, and simply
submitting a design created using a combination of the 2 software products.

Fantastic prizes,

1st Prize - Vector Art 3D Animal Collection - Value $499

A big thanks goes to everyone who participated.

The winners were as follows:

So a person could have submitted a sample of a straight line and still had a chance of winning ?
What was the purpose of of getting people to submit their work then ? :)

Hi Benny,

Each entry had to incorporate at least one Vector Art  3D element added to a VCarve Pro design.

It wasn't a competitive competion to determine who was the best artist / designer, which we felt
would have stopped many people from submitting a design. It was more a way of introducing
people to how easy it is to use the software products to make interesting designs without having
to spend hours learning 3D Modelling and CNC Machining etc.

I hope this makes sense,

Tony

PS Trying to judge a winner would also have been a nightmare because veryoone has different
views and ideas on what's good  bad, especially when it comes to Art.
