($10,000 prize) nVidia NVArt 06: Moving Innovation

**darkshark** · 05-9-2011, 04:23 PM

This is NOT limited to 3d artists, so I hope you photoshoppers out there will enter this as well. I tried entering this competition with my Syd Mead jet car last year but didn't finish in time. This year's requirements are much easier!

Your task is to design what you think high tech gadgetry will look like in the next decade.

Seems like they are putting a HUGE emphasis on being really creative this year, so whatever you dream up, goes...but it still needs to be plausible.

The prizes are as follows:

* 1ST PRIZE Winner
* $10,000 USD cash
* 2 x NVIDIA Quadro 6000

* 2ND PRIZE Winner
* $2,000 USD cash
* 2 x NVIDIA Quadro 6000

* 3RD PRIZE Winner
* $1,000 USD cash
* 1 x NVIDIA Quadro 6000

* 4TH PRIZE Winner
* 1 x NVIDIA Quadro 6000

* 5TH PRIZE Winner
* 1 x NVIDIA Quadro 6000

Those Quadro 6000 cards retail at around $4,000 each, and yes...it will ****ing run Crysis.

Deadline for entries is June 16th!

I'll even go out on a limb here. If you simply draw up a quick sketch of how your product would work/look like, I'll create it in 3d and make it look kick ass, if it places, we split the prize moneh.

I'll probably be submitting at least 5 designs.

This. This looks really interesting. I'll think of something when I'm home from college.

**midnghtraver** · 05-9-2011, 05:41 PM

I might too.

What happens when 15 people send you pictures DS?

**darkshark** · 05-9-2011, 05:51 PM

If they're all good concepts then I make 15 3d models. Just read over the guidelines, make sure you put some real thought into it.

Here's the inspiration page

**customstuff** · 05-9-2011, 06:01 PM

I have an idea for this but also a lot of homework...

D:

Also, what would happen if you made something that ended up in 4th or 5th place? How would you split that with someone? lol

**darkshark** · 05-9-2011, 06:18 PM

I'd sell the card, even I don't need something THAT powerful. Could go get 10 GTX 580's for the price of one Quadro 6000.

**customstuff** · 05-9-2011, 06:21 PM

You want me to PM you my idea or just put it here?

**darkshark** · 05-9-2011, 06:23 PM

Put it here, so everyone can give input on your design, not just me!

**customstuff** · 05-9-2011, 06:31 PM

Talk/End call on bottom

Alternatively, Talk/End call buttons also as left/right click

Doesn't have to be exact colours, shapes, etc.
I just want a chance at half the cash xD

**darkshark** · 05-9-2011, 06:33 PM

So what happens when you need to talk on the phone and use your computer at the same time?

who_cares973 · 05-9-2011, 06:33 PM

i dont see how that would be useful o_o. theres also already a mouse like that only the phone buttons are on the side

-_-

...it seemed like a great idea at the time

**darkshark** · 05-9-2011, 06:37 PM

lol. Well good first try, and perfect mspaint picture too, that's pretty much all I would need to go off of.

The only idea I'm throwing around in my head right now is a wallet that has a digital photo frame on the front, and when you open it, there's a screen inside that tells you your remaining bank account/credit card balances in each card slot.

Now that you opened up that can of worms, customstuff, what would you guys think about noise canceling headphones with built in phone?

who_cares973 · 05-9-2011, 06:49 PM

ok i got a pretty cool idea but i have no idea how i would draw it out rofl

I mean, choose. C:

**darkshark** · 05-9-2011, 06:59 PM

Might as well stop using cars and go back to horse and buggy then too huh.

**iironiic** · 05-9-2011, 07:00 PM

o0o0o0o Colton, nice first attempt! This is making me want to stop working on my essay and just try and brainstorm something haha x]

EDIT: Are you looking for ideas that fulfills two completely different tasks, preferably tasks that are of greater importance? Or not necessarily?
