Hey Guys,
I understand the entries for the competition or the winner's on the website were to be announced on April 30th. I can't seem to find the entries or the winners. Looked all over.
Can you link the page?
-
Hey!
Thanks for the message! Really sorry for the delay. We have had some massive snow storms in Calgary so our servers have been up and down all week.
I'm working on it right now, It will be posted today! watch this space!

Hey Everybody!
So we are just waiting for the rest of the site to be updated. Sorry again for the delay! The winners have been decided and I thought I'd announce them over here instead
We didn't get the response we would have hoped for, so we only have 3 of the prizes up for grabs, the 4th prize will used in a spin off competition you will receive information about shortly!
Drum roll..
1st Prize goes to
D12dozr with this fantastic ICEvision!
http://icevisioncloud.com/viewer.jsf?mkey=c63806b6a19b3bb359d49e03f1cdd920
and a very close 2nd Prize goes to
M.YAQOUB with another fantastic ICEvision!
http://icevisioncloud.com/viewer.jsf?mkey=711070c844dc4f865510d15c3d018c0d
and the 3rd prize is a very honorable mention.
Cyberdactyl created such an awesome model in sketchup, that 32bit ICEvision couldn't handle its greatness! Our tech guys here have now managed to get it into ICEvision, but is too big for you to have a true ICEvision experience so we will create a video instead! We believe that is worthy of a prize
If you could email me (anolloth@ice-edge.com) your address details, I will get the prizes shipped too you asap!
Congratulations all and thank you to everybody who signed up!! Everybody who signed up will have another chance to win a mouse. Watch this space!

I have view the winners and thought I'd post a couple of screen shots

Hi Marcus & Guys,

Wow, thank you Andy! I am truly honored and grateful.
Here is a link to the tour if anyone wants to see it. I am also going to make the tour into a Youtube video because some of my friends had trouble viewing it...hopefully in the next few days.
Andy, re the next competition, I think it would be helpful to have a detailed tutorial (preferably video, otherwise PDF) available explaining exactly how to make the tour. Even though it was really easy, there were some things I discovered that would have made the process easier had I known about them from the start. Also, have you thought about asking Google to post about it on the Sketchupdateblog?
Thanks again Andy, Mike and all of the judges, and call on me if you want ideas for a tutorial!!
P.S. Thanks for the screenies, Mike
edit: oops, didn't see Andy posted the link to the tour already

Hi all,
Congrats to the winners!
They are really nice indded.Marcus, will you please, post your video url here once you finished the tour? I'd like to include it to The Daily CatchUp article (if you don't mind).
-
Thanks Rich and Gaieus. I don't mind at all Gai, will do.
I really like how vendors are working with Sketchucation to inform us of their products, it is so beneficial for them and us members alike. Thanks SCF management!!
-
All the entries look great!
Thanks for the mention.

Here is a video I made of my ICEvision tour, the last picture is a Twilight render. The quality is far less than the original after a screen capture with CamStudio and uploading to YouTube
Thanks to Earthmover for the shrubs and flowers!
Here is a link if you can't see the embedded video.

I want to again thank ICEvision and Sketchucation for the opportunity to participate in the contest and use their software. I did have good success with smaller models, and I think it will be a nice offering to design firms and organizations to enhance their ideas to clients and/or contractors.
Oh yea, and I LOVE the fidelity of the Space Navigator. I'm still getting accustomed to it. So far I've only experimented in Google Earth and Sketchup, but I already see it will offer an excellent alternate input device. And it looks great in the office with that warm blue ring!
-
congratulation you won sketchuvision
but I came 2nd place but your design was awesome
thanks M.YAQOUB
-
Thank you to all of you who gave it a go! It's a fun tool and its getting better by the day!
Marcus - Thank you very much for posting the video! It looks great as always and congratulations again for the awesome ICEvision you submitted. We are all looking forward to seeing alot more!
Cyberdactyl - Thank you for the kind words and posting that great image! I have the same mouse and it really does give my desk a new lease of life. I will be sending your comments to the head of 3Dconnexions if you dont mind? Those guys and girls are sketchup fans and would love to see that somebody is enjoying the product.
koz786 - Your entry was great, so thank you again! I hope you enjoy your mouse! let us all know what you think and please send some more ICEvisions!
If anybody would like to give ICEvision a go for a month, let me know! We are always looking for feedback on how we can make it better.
Thank you again! I'm hoping to be back on tomorrow with some great news!

The guys at ICEvision have managed to upload my model of the NCSU Bell Tower in Raleigh NC.
I appreciate their efforts, and it looks like they can definitely get large models into the software.
One caveat that is my fault. When I sent this version, I did not check it thoroughly and it is missing the torches on one face of the tower. That is from my early clumsy attempts to get the poly count down and render it in Indigo.
-
congratulations, Cyberdactyl, very nice model. How big was the file? Is the blue background a sky dome?
I'm loving my SpacePilot too, its definitely going to help me model faster and its great to fly around in Google Earth as well.
-
Thanks d12dozr.
It's about 38 meg. The background is the generic SU sky.
-
I'm glad you guys are talking about sky because..
- drum roll *
It's here! Now when you log onto http://www.icevisioncloud.com you are able to add sky domes, spheres and walls with a choice of colors, textures, gradient and even your own images! its so much fun. Infact, the sky you can see in Cyberdactyl's model is ICEvision sky. I'm glad you spotted it!
and that's not all folks (said in my best tv ad voice)
You can even add your own MP3's to the model! Just remember, if you are going to share them with anyone to not use copyrighted material.
We created a little youtube video as a quick tutorial and to show you how to add the new features. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANuh7E4sBUc
I think I need to sit down and grab a coffee.. I've got myself a little excited.
oh, and one last thing! If you have a spare moment and use Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/ICEvision/253569638605 and Twitter http://twitter.com/icevisionapp , We would really appreciate the support in helping us spread the ICEvision word
Thank you and have a great day! Calgary is getting up to 25c today so I'm in a great mood!
-
Hey!
Thank you to all those who signed up for the competition. We really learned alot about our application thanks to all the feedback we received, but want to learn some more!
I have compiled a quick survey which I would really appreciate if you could take the time to answer. It shouldn't take a minute and..
(heres the best bit)
You could win a 3Dconnexion Space navigator just for filling it in!
The winner will be picked at random, but please be as totally honest as you can. Just make sure you add your email address in at the end.
Thank you again!
Andy
