First Model Challenge

First Model Challenge

Everyone remembers their first model... It's just like the first kiss, first ride on your bike, or when you first started walking ( well, sort of)... Well, we're here with a new challenge for you - Upload your first model on CGTrader and have a chance to win 500 Hours of Free Rendering!

We've teamed up with our friends at Rayvision who are giving away a prize worth the devilishly handsome $666. A good way to start your career on our platform, don't you say?

The challenge will run for the full January and anyone who uploads his first model is a contestant in this challenge! We'll pick the winner at the start of the next month.

It's time to roll up your sleeves, upload on your first model and win the sweet-looking rendering fee from Rayvision!

                            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.
