CG Architecture Challenge

Any time you start thinking about moving into that dream house of yours, there are so many questions. The kitchen, living room, style of the house, decorations, there are so much to think and dream about! Well, it's time to make those dreams into a visible reality. We're launching a challenge for you, lovely architects to compete in! Pick out what you're best at, take your time and show us what you want to see in your ideal home. Or just show us the ideal home, for that matter.

Last few architecture challenges were quite delicious (in a great-model-contest way), but they were missing one thing. There was no Architectural Details category winner - well, this time it's up for grabs! We're bringing a little breath of fresh air to the challenges, too! The challenge will take 3 months and we're going to have 3 individual winners in each Architectural category! We also encourage you to indicate the used software in your model descriptions - we'll make sure it's taken into the account at the end of the competition.

It's a good chance to get to know new software, too! Maxwell Render is encouraging trying its software for the competition. All participants interested in obtaining a free license for the duration of the competition, can get one contacting them at: http://bit.ly/WriteUs

Your imagination and talent will be rewarded by our sponsors: Render fee by Ranch Computing, Pro accounts by 3D Wayfinder, Substance Painter and Substance Designer licences by Allegorithmic, Subscriptions by Landscape Architects Network and Colimo+ RealPerception Licenses by MotivaCG. Maxwell Render Suite Node-locked Licenses and Learning Editions by Maxwell Render. To sweeten the deal, we'll also throw in a few free sales.

It's up to you now 3D enthusiasts, bring your A-game!

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? 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 'CG Architecture' 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 October 2015 to the 22nd of January 2016 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.
