New Orleans, LOUISIANA, September 15, 2011 – Luxion, the leading developer of advanced rendering and lighting technology and makers of KeyShot®, the first real time ray tracing and global illumination program, today announced that it is the exclusive sponsor of the 2011 IDSA Student Merit Awards as part of the IDSA International Conference held in New Orleans, Louisiana, from September 14 -17, 2011.
Each year, the five Student Merit Award winners are invited to display their work at the IDSA International Conference. This elevated recognition serves to connect undergraduate design students with IDSA’s national scope while honoring them for their academic design achievement. Additionally, for this first time, IDSA called the 2011 Student Merit Award winners on stage to receive a trophy.
“Like the IDSA Student Merit Award winners who came before them, we expect the five young designers who have earned this year’s honors will one day emerge as leaders of the design community,” noted Clive Roux, CEO IDSA. “We are very proud to once again partner with Luxion to celebrate the achievements of some of our best and brightest. We are also inspired by Luxion’s deepening commitment to supporting industrial design students.”
“We are very proud to be the exclusive sponsor of this year’s student merit awards”, says Dr. Henrik Wann Jensen, Chief Scientist of Luxion. “Academia is the place where the next great designers are not necessarily born, but shaped. Having access to the latest technologies that are on its way of being established as a standard in the real world is a fundamental part of a proper education that gets students ready not just for the final exam, but for life after school.”
