is looking to attract 3D designers to Live Search Maps and Virtual Earth. Following the acquisition of Caligari, Microsoft made available for free trueSpace 7.6, a comprehensive toolset connecting the solutions directly with its mapping, imagery and search platform. In a move intended to boost the three dimensional content available via Live Search Maps and Virtual Earth, Microsoft has introduced the Virtual Earth Gallery Contest. Designed as an area of the Caligari (trueSpace) 3D Authoring and Collaboration website, Virtual Earth Gallery is set up to centralize 3D work in exchange for the possibility of winning a prize.
Microsoft has managed no to offer any detail on the incentives it is offering to 3D designers that go ahead and submit their work to Virtual Earth via trueSpace. According to Pendleton, users will have to be registered trueSpace7.6 owners in order to participate in the content. At the same time, the 3D models created will first have to be integrated with Virtual Earth before they are taken into consideration by the judges.

Hello Jonathan. If you have questions about the Virtual Earth contest or the program itself, please contact that department at Microsoft. I just post the information for your convenience and have nothing to do with either the contest or software. Thanks for stopping by Microsoft Office!
