The 21st CGarchitect 3D awards celebrate a record-breaking year in Warsaw

The 21st edition of the CGarchitect 3D Awards has concluded, broadcasting live from the second annual World Visualization Festival in Warsaw, Poland. The ceremony marked an exceptional year for the architectural visualization community, which showed its incredible passion with a record-breaking 25% increase in submissions. Over 1,100 entries were received from talented artists and studios across the globe.
 
The awards, presented by Rick Eloy, celebrated the convergence of artistic vision and technical brilliance that defines the industry. This global gathering and celebration would not have been possible without the generous support of its sponsors: Rebusfarm, SiNi Software, OF3D Academy, iToo Software, Chaos, and the wonderful hosts at the World Visualization Festival. A special thanks was also extended to the esteemed jury, who meticulously reviewed the thousands of submissions.
