Flora & Fauna 3D Modeling Challenge

Flora & Fauna 3D Modeling Challenge

Have you read a book called “The Island of Doctor Moreau”? It is a science fiction novel about a crazy doctor who creates human-like beings from animals like dogs or lions via vivisection in a secret island. Well, we do not suggest you to do that, not at all. We have something simpler, yet as exciting for you. We have a new interface, so, obviously, we need some plants e.g. roses and animals to inhabit it - any venom 3d model will be truly appreciated. Behold, it is the new challenge of a redesigned CGTrader. Show us your knowledge on flora and fauna - create the most incredible 3D models of live creatures - you can even create your own 3D dog model or any kind of tree 3d models. The authors of the best models and portfolios will be awarded with stocks for their “laboratories” of world creation. We have LightWave and ChronoSculpt licenses from NewTek LightWave as well as handy stuff from Subburb, VIZPARK, Video Copilot and Itoo Software prepared for the winners. All you need to do is to come up with a great premium or free 3D model of animal or plant and take those prizes. Come on, do it! Create tree trunk, banana 3d model and don't forget your bear 3d model! We know, you can.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        Please go through these questions before contacting us

        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? Your copyrights are secured. If you are still worried about it then just try to put higher price on it, let's say 300 USD.


        I don't want to lose 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 related to Flora or Fauna 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 29th of May to the 1st of July 2014 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.
