Sponsored by Autodesk®, CGarchitect, and NVIDIA, the Rendering Revolution contest was a global still image architectural visualization competition in celebration of the Autodesk ® 3ds Max® 20th Anniversary and advancements in GPU-accelerated rendering solutions. Participants were asked to create a scene that incorporated the 3ds Max 20th anniversary logo and produce a still image of that scene. Content could be created with any application, but final rendering had to be done in 3ds Max 2011 or 3ds Max Design 2011 software using native GPU rendering solutions – Quicksilver or iray® or any GPU-accelerated third-party rendering solution, such as V-Ray RT. Entries were judged by a panel of seven industry experts.
