Where is my "Real-life Objects PBR Challenge" 3D-Coat category's 3rd place?

Discussion started by frnmrz

Hi there CGTrader community, I'm a bit disappointed with a rare case that happened to my here on CGTrader and I want to share it with you, maybe you have a clue.
I've been waiting since june for the delivery of the prize for my 3rd place on the challenge "Real-life Objects PBR". I received a email requesting for contact information, with the subject "Congratulations! You won 3rd place in 3D-Coats category of PBR Real-life Objects Challenge on CGTrader" I answered the email the 16th of june and I've been waiting since then for a response. I guess I'm not breaking anything if I post a capture of the email here:

I've just checked the blog post titled Real-life Objects PBR Challenge is over and we have the winners! published the 12th of June, where my scene "Office building - Innovation Center" was awarded with the 3rd place within the 3D-Coat category of the contest. Surprisingly, now my model doesn't appear there, instead of it there is a model of Theojang called "Shirakawago Village Set". Really!
I can't believe my eyes. My prize has been removed, without a single note and I guess without a single reason.

Is my winning model suddenly that bad?
Is appropriate changing the winner of a contest retroactively though?


Thank you all very much for your time,
Fran Marz

Hi franmarz,

thanks for raising the question and sorry for the confusion. As far as I remember, there was some updates on the final winner list once a problem with a submission was detected (and this is indicated in the end of the post), but this has not concerned your model. I think that at that time your model got removed from the list somehow. Your model is really good and worth the award, so tomorrow I will try to coordinate that you receive your prize shortly and would be back to the winner list.

Sorry for misunderstanding again.

Best,
Ginvile, CGTrader team

Thank you for the quick response and subsequent corrections. I'll be patiently waiting for your next steps. Fully recovering my prize is not the only thing that concerns me, but an upgrade from you CGTrader in communicating not only the big moves to the whole community, but especially particular decisions towards individuals. Best regards, Fran Marz.
