3D Sci-Fi Challenge

3D Sci-Fi Challenge

Tell us what you see when you lift the veil and peek into the dystopian or utopian future worlds. What is your idea of alternative universe and highly altered state of existence? Are there beings out there? What do they look like? What do they do and how do they live? When you step into those parallel planets, does your heart stop due to their colorful beauty or overwhelming fear? Can we take a space lift to travel there? Let the current of questions take you to unimagined places and thrill you with implausible adventures and stories. Ignite the future with a spark of untamed imagination.

We have run a similar challenge last year and have been taken aback by the creativity and effort that went into modeling 3D spaceships, characters, buildings, vehicles, guns and all kinds of concept 3D models (halo 3D models page is a good place for ideas) that intensified the experience of visiting future worlds. In fact, it's rather addictive, so here we are again, asking you to pull the big guns and show us some back to the future stuff (Star wars 3D models, anyone?) that would make this challenge a roaring adventure.

The best visionary proposals will receive awesome prizes: Substance Indie Packs and Substance Painter / Substance Designer licenses by Allegorithmic, interviews in the magazine by 3D Artist Online, $1000 render fee by Rayvision, 1 Year Professional level Clara.io accounts by Clara.io, store credits by Daz3D, Maxwell Render Suite Node Lock and Learning Edition licenses by Nextlimit, credits and promotional features by CGTrader.

Good luck!

                                                                                                            Do I need to upload files or only images of my 3D design?

                                                                                                            You need to upload files and images of your 3D design in order to participate in the challenge.


                                                                                                            I don't want to put my entry model for sale. Do you have any suggestions?

                                                                                                            Does earning money from your digital files sounds like a bad idea? Just try to put higher price on it, let's say 300 USD.


                                                                                                            I don't want to loose copyrights on my model after it is sold.

                                                                                                            There are General, Editorial and Custom licenses for you to choose under which you want to operate. Individuals or companies which bought your model can't use it for commercial purposes if it hasn't been changed. So no worries - you won't loose the copyright.


                                                                                                            How can I participate in the challenge?

                                                                                                            Design awesome 3D model for 3D CG Sci-Fi Challenge and upload it to CGTrader.


                                                                                                            What if I put the required tag on my already published 3D model on CGTrader - do you treat it as a valid entry?

                                                                                                            No. Only 3D models uploaded in the period from the 20th of February to the 17th of April 2015 will be treated as valid entries.


                                                                                                            Do free 3D models participate in the challenge?

                                                                                                            Yes, absolutely. Sharing artwork is always appreciated in the community.


                                                                                                            Can I enter with 3D models which participated in other challenges elsewhere?

                                                                                                            Yes. There are no restrictions on publishing and selling your models elsewhere.


                                                                                                            Do price tags play any importance when entries are being judged?

                                                                                                            No. But do not forget that the prices are always judged by the customers.


                                                                                                            I want to participate in the challenge so I am going to delete my already uploaded models and upload them again to meet the "publishing period" requirement. Can I do that?

                                                                                                            No. We are tracking every deleted and uploaded model, so it is useless to drive-through our requirements of the challenge.

                                                                                                            As Seen On
