Welcome to the 2005 CG Retrospective

2005 will soon be history. With the help of the CGSociety community, we are compiling the Top 20 CG-related things that happened in 2005. All the following events were suggested by the community in this thread on CGTalk. The criteria for selection was that the event, or thing that happened in 2005 had to be innovative, landmark or very cool. It could be events, movies, short films, games, products, software or anything that had a profound effect on the CG industry in 2005.

2005 CG Retrospective is now open for voting. As a CGTalk member, you are entitled to a vote using scores of 1-5. You do not need to score all items - only those that you are interested in. The Top 20 results of this 2005 CG Retrospective will be published on CGSociety.org before Christmas. The list will be culled to the Top 20 sorted by score.
