Yes, we had two third-prize ties, one in each category!
The first-prize winners in each category will receive a GeForce 8800 graphics card. The second-prize winners will each receive copies of Softimage XSI Foundation. Our third-prize winners will each receive a copy of the new book GPU Gems 3.
It was especially gratifying to see entries come in from all around the globe: the seven different winners represent as many different countries. Congratulations to all!
The winning shaders and some terrific runners-up will soon be available for your own experimentation in FX Composer 2, via the NVIDIA Shader Library. Until then, please join NVIDIA, GameDev.Net, and Softimage in congratulating the contest winners on our Developer Forums.
