‘The Museum’ / Maxwell Render Challenge 20 Finalists
‘The Museum’ / Maxwell Render Challenge has ended on the 15th this month and I am very proud to present the images created by the 20 finalists of this special Architectural Visualization Challenge dedicated specifically to the use of Maxwell Render featuring the Neue National Gallery. I enjoyed this event very much, as it featured an architectural masterpiece and in focus use of the Maxwell Render engine as never seen before. Go ahead and have a closer look at the submitted images as the Jury starts the decision making process.

The next Museum Challenge started!
As this one ended, on the blog birthday, the new one started – ‘The Museum’ / Lumion Challenge. I invite you all to explore the same theme, but in real-time and in motion 😉
Really nice results from @ronenbekerman latest challenge: http://t.co/4wgN96Ja
As much as I love Bertrand’s stuff… Jamie Holms has dominated this challenge from start to finish. Absolutely bossed it.
congrats to the finalists.I like especially works of Jamie Holms, Bertrand Benoit and “detail” by Giona Andreani.Good luck to all.
great works and talents…..so can the artists answer now the epic question :which is better Vray or maxwell ? 🙂
inspiring works from all these great people
Thanks for the opportunity Ronen
Sure thing!
I would said that is an easy win for Bertrand but Jamies work is also amazing.. i dont know.. 🙂
Hii never used Lumion, but i’m curios in and this is a great opportunity to study this software.No one idea at this time but i’m thinking 😉
congratulation all partecipants.I like maxwell and all entries do it justice. Hard work for jury!
I must admit I’m quite disappointed with the results. Except for Giona’s images that is. The remainder is an odd mess and mix of weird compositions, too much noise and overused occlusion effects. And how the hell can a render of an ashtray with poor materials be among the finalists?
MartinBrinks Martin, these aren’t chosen finalists. These 20 participants (me included), are all those who submitted final images, from starting 200+ contenders. This was very hard competition, and might not seems so to outsiders based only on final results.Competition is what is it, is willing participation that isn’t forced, this isn’t clients work, so you’re being a bit too harsch and offensive to all those who spend their time creating this.I do partly agree with you (which inherently means I am criticing myself, which I am) about poorer than expected results, but, again, this wasn’t as easy as it seems, and unless you participated, you should show some respect for those brave enough to find time and complete it ;- )Kind regards,Juraj
Great challenge,in my opinion this is better than the last.I love some input and I’m watching this.Very good effort by the whole Ronen to bring this challenge.Good luck to the participants.I already have my preferred candidate
This is a good challenge …Good luck to the participants …I already have my preferred candidate ….BBB is as always a very strong candidate …Let’s see the runner …I hope Juraj Talcik is a finalist ..He took over the contest far beyond expectations ..It is a great artist.
the museum being exposed on te museum = superb; as a concept and as a work
Wow! Many talents out there… This will be hard to nominate a winner
Nice works.I really like Fernando Valdes, they are not only great images, this can be a great exposition in REAL life, i like the worldwide art with mexican style.congratulations to all,
After following Juraj’s progress, all entrants need to be knighted.. and then given a holiday away with their neglected partners.
