I wish I was one of those finalists. I'm asking myself, why them and not me? But I'm sure the jury chose them for the right reasons.
Well, you have to accept it, that's how competitions are: it depends ½ how the criteria were set up and ½ on the real work.
All of the finalists have definitely earned it for years of hard labor - but what about those who did all of their models especially for this competition...
Amazing job to all the chosen finalists. The City of Nanaimo didn't make it into the finals, but we had a great time learning to work with our citizens, and now have our downtown modeled to a level that it can be used for planning purposes. Check out our video submission (esp from 1:14 onwards)
Thank you Jason.
I'm happy that my project, Barranco, was included as a finalist. Your team did a great job with Nanaimo, as well as Hondaribia and other cities I've enjoyed visiting in Google Earth and hope to know sometime. My admiration to all of them!
And the winner is ... everybody. That's gonna be a hard decision. These are awesome collections. You can explore the places for hours and still find detail you haven't noticed before. I can literally hear the city noise when strolling through the streets. Thank you for pointing me to your lively places, guys!
