Be sure to vote for a chance to win a Fire GL 1000 graphics accelerator or a Maximum DVD Kit from Diamond Multimedia. You can vote once a day, every day to increase your chances. Here are the winners for Week 9, as well as a look at the final week's contestants: Editor's Choice: "Virtual Head II" from Brandon Rickman The sequel to the original Virtual Head (which can be found in the VRML.SGI.COM gallery)--this one's made from thousands of moving dots. People's Choice: "DesignSpace Gallery" from Tom Shadle A group of 3 worlds that visualize how parts withstand load. The Week 10 contestants are: * Huffer -- Remember transformers? Here's a fully convertible version of the one called "Huffer"--more than meets the eye. * Knight Takes Rook -- Rook takes pawn and knight takes rook in this virtual chess battle. * Dancing Girl -- The movements for this animated dancing girl come from motion capture data. * Why We Die -- A nearly four-minute animated version of a Native American tale. * Virtual Lathe -- Create your own masterpiece by moving the rod into the spinning stock to cut material away.
