The challenge was set in July: Create something that will take our breath away!
Machinima makers in SL were asked to create a Machinima of between 2 and 5 minutes in length (we weren't too finicky about time limits) that featured some of the winning artworks from the UWA 3D Art & Design Challenge.
They had more than 35 artworks spread across 4 floors, from which to choose and could include other Imagine or Flagship entries that were up at the time.
There was an amazing 45 entries in total. Below are links to all 45.
