VR Military Challenge
Take war where it can‘t hurt anyone – take it to Virtual Reality with our VR Military Challenge!
There are no categories in this challenge: soldiers, tanks, giant mecha, rocket launchers – anything goes. As long as it is a low-poly (no more than 50,000 polygons) model ready for endless VR conflict, it‘s good to go.
The challenge runs from 14th of March, 2016, to the 30th of May, 2016. There will be one winner and two runner-ups for Best Model award. One winner and one runner-up will be rewarded for Best Portfolio (at least 8 eligible models entered in the contest), too.
But what’s in the loot back? Well, we have computer-bound brighter3d Pro SketchUp Plug-in licenses, AC3D modeling software, rigging software licenses The Setup Machine For Games, Milkshape3D licenses, digital copies (with 5Gb of models) of Animation: Master and Time-Lapse skies (one for best model winner and one for best portfolio) from Hyperfocal Design. Now that is a haul worthy of the mightiest conquest!

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 an awesome 3D model for 'VR Military' 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 14th of March 2015 to the 30th of May 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.
