🎉 Get ready for the 'Best of Blender Artists 2023' Awards!

Go with “technology” or “vfx”, depending on which is more accurate for the image. Or “character” for that matter, if it’s someone holding a gun. Having another category solely for Weapons would lead to a call for also adding “Household Appliances”, “Bottles of Liquor”, “Things on Your Desk”, etc…

I don’t feel like a hard-surface tag would be out of place, personally… a good way to lump that sort of thing together. @bartv , what do you think?

[thorn]

Oh, that’s a well-rounded category idea, yeah.

[frogovdawell (Frogov D'Well)]

Are we cutting corners now?

Sorry, could not resist.

[Renzatic (El Scorchweasel)]

I have upvoted this post. My engagement with the community has now increased by +1.

[BlenderMaster15 (Andrew)]

Looking forward to seeing what makes the cut!

[joseph]

You can get a good sneak peek by going to any of those tags, sorting by Top, and choosing Year as the date range- not final, since there’s a lot of duplicates that need sorted out, but it’s something

[BlenderWizard62 (Trident Frog)]

Ya, fer sure that would solve the problem!

[Xeofrios]

I had a nomination from Works in Progress last year. This year most of my projects have been in Blender Tests. Should I consider changing them?

[comicsserg (Serg.)]

Soo exciting to see the results There were many great works this year THank you everybody for making the amazing works and sharing it with the world

[SAuchterlonie]

Could I ask which tag to use for Photo Realistic renders?

[bartv (Bart Veldhuizen)]

@BlenderWizard62

Ok, should add a firearm or weapons segment!

While I’m ok with letting realistic guns enter, I’m not in favor of promoting such content beyond that.

@KDLynch

I’m assuming this is for pieces posted in ‘Finished Artwork,’ correct? not, say for instance, sketchbooks or whathaveyou…

Joseph was right - only Finished Projects and Animations are considered.

I prefer to group by subject matter, not the technique used. We’d have to add sculpting, low-poly etc too.

Yes, I’ll filter out those categories this year.

@SAuchterlonie

There’s no specific tag nor award category for that.

[bartv (Bart Veldhuizen)]

I also just posted a call for a ‘Best of Blender Artists 2023’ header graphic:

Who can create a ‘Best of Blender Artists 2023’ graphic for us?

Howdy! Once we launch the voting for the ‘Best of Blender Artists 2023’ around December 24, I’d like to give it some extra visibility by publishing a large site header, but I need some help to prepare a graphic for it. If you’d like to contribute, please post a 2156x400px graphic with the following elements; Mentions ‘Best of Blender Artists 2023 Voting’ in our regular font (Arial-bold) Shows our logo Your name or username in the bottom right corner This is the graphic we picked last year; f…

@bartv

Could you suggest which tag would be best for my renders please?

[marcatore]

In my opinion we should have a product visualization category… but I’m not the organizer.

[bartv (Bart Veldhuizen)]

Agreed! This is a great content type that we see a lot of and that’s not covered by any other category. I added it

[SAuchterlonie]

SUPER STAR!!
