Hi everyone,

Having a 3D browser is great, but it's a little lonely out here in 3D cyberspace, so we'd like to invite you all to join us by extending your existing website into three dimensions, or by creating your first website, in 3D if you don't have a site yet.

Whilst we conclude our beta testing, software unlocks are available to competitors free of charge.

To kick off our 3D website competition, we thought we'd start with a speed challenge, so if you have a little time and some interest in experimenting with next-gen interweb technology, here's how to enter :-


Mini Challenge 1 - Speed Challenge

The first Infinity format 3D website online that fulfils the following criteria wins one of the following :-

Option 1 : A VIA PC 2500 motherboard and an S3 Chrome Graphics card.

Option 2: An Egg Photo 360 panoramic photo/video mirror adapter.

(The winner chooses the prize they prefer)


Create a 3D website consisting of at least two zones, connected by a hyperlink. One zone should be the entrance to your 3D website, which should promote you and your work. This zone should feature at least one piece from your portfolio (as embedded HTML pages, 3D models, renders and/or videos). The second zone should exhibit content from a hobby or interest. In this zone, display links or embedded webpages to associated HTML site and revelvant 3D models. Decorate the zone in a style fitting to the content, e.g. our travel example is decorated in the style of a desert island.

In order to build your 3D website, you should work through our 3D website tutorial here :

... then customize to fit the requirements above.

When you think you're done, upload, then post a thread on our Competitions board, here :

.. in the following format :


3D Website - [your name or nickname]


Comments, questions welcome !

<><> Infinity is coming ...

If you would like to participate in the speed challenge , you'll need to install Infinity Professional and authorise the 3dsmax plugin (same procedure as the browser).

Plugin authorization is currently a manual process, so if you request codes outside of office hours (UK time - GMT), these will not not be processed until the following morning.

As we can't monitor this 24/7, if we receive multiple competition entries for the speed challenge overnight, the prize will go to the best entry.
