CG Low Poly Model Challenge
Do you game? That's the question. A modern take on Shakespear's "to be or not to be?" and (honestly) a filter that many use to decide which people are worthy of their friendship.
Hardcore and occasional gamers will appreciate the idea of diving into their fantasy concepts and emerging with game-ready 3D low poly models they'd love to see in a game. Whether you choose to create a favorite character model or environment concepts, there are only two requirements:
- the model needs to be low poly (up to 50,000 polygons),
- the model needs to be game-ready.
If you don't game and don't feel like the challenge theme particularly excites you, we have one killer reason that will keep you motivated - 3D game-ready models are among the best selling 3D works in the industry. See, you're hyped up now. Money is always a good driver.
Turn on your creativity mode and start uploading, as there are some kick-ass prizes to be won: 3D Shader Bundles by Video Copilot, iClone5 PRO Bundles by Reallusion, videos of choice from V-Ray or 3ds Max classes by CG School, software licenses by Moi3D.

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 3D CG Low Poly Model 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 16th of March to the 22nd of May 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.
