3D Architecture Challenge

3D Architecture Challenge

Make The World Wonder

Have you ever dreamt to live in a modern house that no-one had ever thought be possible to build? Something so fancy that even the richest men of the planet would find difficult to bring to life. Or maybe the perfect simplicity is the best sample of architectural perfection? Transform your imagination into floor, walls, ceilings and the roof. Then exchange it to fame.

Design a building of epic 3D architecture models with marvelous exterior or stagger us with an interior which could confuse even the best professionals of architecture and interior design. We are going to award the winners in two categories: exterior and interior. This time it is a 2-in-1 challenge!

We have exclusive V-Ray goodies for the winner – the most photo-realistic rendering technology. Or maybe you would you like to get a... Space mouse - created especially for 3D modeling? Or get the solution for design, visualization and architectural communication from Twinmotion? It is just a small part of the prizes! 3D Architects, engineers, designers and artists - come and show your skills worldwide. Only roof is the limit!

                                                                                                                          Simply upload architectural interior or exterior model, check the box 3D Architecture Challenge while uploading and you are IN!


                                                                                                                          How much models can I submit to the challenge?

                                                                                                                          There are no restrictions on that. More models - more chances to be on the winner designers list!


                                                                                                                          I have already published some of my architecture 3D models on CGTrader.com. Are they eligible for the challenge?

                                                                                                                          No. Only 3D models uploaded in the period from the 24th of October to the 15th of December 2013 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 sell my 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
