A decisive moment is the split second when everything changes. It could be an instant from history that altered everything on Earth. Or a pivotal point in time that changed you personally. Perhaps a knockout punch in a heavy weight championship. The last block placed on the Pyramids. The first human step on the moon. A gunshot, a wrong step, or a glance, thedecisive moment when fate propelled the world to greatness or drove it to the point of destruction.

The Chaos Group and CGSociety invite you to create an image to tell that story. Using any application to model and V-Ray to render, we want you to illustrate a blink-of-an-eye moment that changed the world. A momentthat changed the big picture or had an impact on a person’s life. Allindustries using V-Ray can fit into the Challenge theme and are welcome to participate.

To complement the V-Ray Challenge, CGWorkshops are offering two 5 week online V-Ray workshops run by veteran trainer and V-Ray practitioner Boaz Livny. Brush up on your skills in Intermediate and Advanced Techniques in V-Ray Part 1 and then Part 2. Chaos Group is offering free fully functioning, time-limited V-Ray licenses to students of these workshops. (Please note that although Boaz can teach you a lot about Intermediate and Advanced Techniques in V-Ray, he can't help you with your submissions for the challenge)
