GTrader: Where do you search for the daily inspiration?

Stéphane: I like to search references on Pinterest.

David: I am quite busy with my regular work. I spend time on modeling in free time and weekends. So, whenever I have time I think about creating a new 3D theme. To get inspiration, I often search references on internet or directly create on the 3D objects.

CGTrader: Why have you decided to try yourself in this challenge and how have you came with the ideas for the models for this contest?

Stéphane: Well, I like Sci-Fi and 90% of my artistic creations are based on it.

David: Actually, a friend of mine introduced me about cgtrader.com. I felt excited and wanted to know more about the marketplace. I just tried to submit my stuff to cgtrader.com and accidentally, I found out about the challenge. It's really a good opportunity to challenge my models.
