"Visiting the amazing CG Society site, I've ran into many impressing portraits, which I chose to featured here today. From fantasy portraits, to sci-fi, to just real people, these are stunning, and really amazing pieces. It totally makes me wanna do this! How about some 3D tuts? Anyone good out there willing to deliver us any sweet tuts? Hope to hear from you guys soon!! In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy these!! Cheers. ;)
Timesculpture is a stunning progression of the ‘bullet time’ technique made famous by films such as The Matrix. Rather than showing a 3-D rotation of a still moment, this groundbreaking new filming process manipulates moving snapshots of time using Toshiba technology, redefining cinematic human movement.
The shoot was made possible via the construction of a purpose-built camera rig, weighing over half a tonne and housing 200 Toshiba Gigashot HD camcorders. Over 20 Terabytes – 20,000 Gigabytes – of video data was used, taking over 336 continuous hours to process.

"The 5th Peugeot Design Contest has been finished just now. The theme of the contest was “IMAGINE THE PEUGEOT IN THE WORLDWIDE MEGALOPOLIS OF TOMORROW”. The projects should bear Peugeot’s stylistic codes and must contain the following four aspects included in this design competition: environmental awareness, social harmony, interactive mobility and economic efficiency. Many talented 3D artists took part in it and coped with the task. But only three were chosen as the bestest. If you’d like to look at the works of the other 30 finalists, follow the link “The 29 Finalists of the 5th Peugeot Design Contest Announced!”
Here are the winners. Please, take our congratulations!

The winning project will also be reproduced in the form of 1:43 scale miniature models which will be sold by one or more companies of their choice. The name of the winner - Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar - will be stated on the packaging for the miniatures as the creator of the vehicle design."
