Epic Games have recently published the list of the winners of the The Vineyard Challenge.
The competition drew an incredibly broad spectrum of entrants, from working visualization professionals, to game developers, armchair hobbyists, and students, and what’s exciting is to see that variety also reflected in the composition of the winners.
