How, then, can you too qualify for this award? Please have in mind that this award is reserved for those that are on par with or that excel top-notch works published by artists and studios. If such work does not appear during a given week, this award is not being given to anyone. So please submit your best work to www.blenderartist.org or to the Member's Gallery of this site, or Contact Us to show where your work is available on the internet.

About "British Sailing Ship:"
This project took around 2 months to complete, it’s a full representation of an old British sailing ship based entirely on the HMS victory, fully made in 3D using all sorts of 3D techniques
such as tileable textures, baked normals, particles, trim sheets and different UV channels for texturing and lightmaps, modeled and textured trying it to be as realistic as possible.
