SHEFFIELD, UK (16 November 2009) – Lightworks, the world’s leading supplier of rendering solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software, with over 3 million users worldwide, today announced the results of the latest Lightworks Image Competition and awarded joint top prize to Caddie's very own Marius Louw.
In addition to winning the top prize, 2 of the 5 'highly commended' entries were also created in Caddie and rendered in Caddie Vio.
On hearing the result, Marius said, “Caddie Vio, the Lightworks based photorealistic rendering application for Caddie, has enabled me to take my renderings to a whole new level, creating images so convincing they often get mistaken for photographs. By using the extensive archive of life-like materials and textures that Lightworks provides, along with the subtle and realistic lighting effects for both internal and external settings, I’m able to create renders that have a very natural and authentic quality to them.
For me, Caddie Vio with its Lightworks technology brought the whole 3D picture together, allowing me to bring my renders to life without the need for any post-processing.”
Derek Bretherton, Managing Director at Caddie added; "We are all delighted with the result. We have spent a huge amount of time designing and refining the interface to both our Caddie modelling and Vio rendering modules and we have worked very closely with Lightworks to ensure that users are able to create life-like renders, in the minimum amount of time. Winning this against such strong competition is fantastic for everybody involved."
David Forrester, Managing Director at Lightworks, commented; “We continue to be delighted by the high quality of images which users enter into our competition. The range of subjects, applications used and the geography of these users illustrates just how varied our user base really is and how widely spread the use of Lightworks technology is within the computer graphics sector.”
Entry to the next quarter of the competition is already open and Caddie Vio users are encouraged to send in their entries before the closing date of 31st December 2009.
