Pulze Joins the 2026 CGconnect 3D Awards as Diamond Sponsor

The CGconnect 3D Awards are back, and this year we’re proud to be on board as a Diamond Sponsor.

Since 2004, these awards have been the gold standard for recognizing the best work in architectural visualization. Whether you’re a student, a freelancer, or part of a studio, this is the biggest stage in archviz, and we want to make sure the winners walk away with tools that actually help them do more great work.

What winners get from Pulze

Every nominee across all 7 categories will receive prizes from our product lineup. Here’s the full breakdown:

• 1st Place — 1x Scene Manager license + 5x RenderFlow licenses + 10,000 Project Dream credits

• 2nd Place — 1x Scene Manager license + 1x RenderFlow license + 5,000 Project Dream credits

• 3rd Place — 1x Scene Manager license + 1x RenderFlow license + 2,000 Project Dream credits

That’s nearly $10,000 in prizes across all categories.

Here’s a quick look at what each tool does:

• Scene Manager — A workflow management tool for 3ds Max that lets you organize, control, and batch-manage scene states, cameras, render settings, and more, all from one place.

• RenderFlow — Our render farm management solution that makes it easy to distribute and manage render jobs across your machines, whether you’re a solo artist or running a full studio pipeline.

• Project Dream — An AI-powered visualization platform that brings generative AI into your creative workflow, from text-to-image and image upscaling to video generation and beyond.
