Challenges

We're back with a new furniture-set challenge. Just when you thought you couldn't chair less...

Yes, that's right. Never did we have a contest like this - and that is exactly why we're doing it! Time to get of your couch and start modelling a full set of them. We're giving a little more than full two months to come up with a furniture set of your (or someone else's) dreams. 5 quality winners will be awarded after the competition, and we have a record number of sponsors to increase your set of available 3D tools.

Choose your sort of side - whether it's dining room, kitchen, office or bathroom - quality sets will be appreciated and rated at the end of the competition. Think you can be crowned a king of furniture sets?

If you're brave sort of a fellow, try Cebas moskitoRender - we've just expanded the list of renderers accepted on CGT, and starting with a trial version may lead you to winning a full version.

Remember the "Voyage Voyage" song by Desireless?

We'll, I don't really know how that's related to the challenge we're making, but we're about to take a voyage ourselves, with the new VR Watercraft competition.

The concept of the competition is broad, but hopefully you'll love to challenge yourself - ships, boats, canoes, kayaks - everything that can be placed on water (and don't sink) goes. The theme of your design is up to you - whether it's a futuristic, VR fitting boat, a steampunk or an army ship, we'll welcome every original concept to this challenge!

The only rule you have to take - don't make your masterpiece over 50,000 polygons.

We have some great prizes to look for, teaming up with Topogun, Suburb, PixPlant, Exlevel, Fox Renderfarm, Visual Designer, Cheetah3D, Rendering Systems and iCube R&D Group - a great amount of our friends adding some glamour to the challenge and total prize pool reaching $5000.

Let's prepare for our trip!

Hey there, aspiring interior decorators! If had dreams of accepting architectural challenges, they have just come true! Yes, the CGTrader Architectural Detail Challenge is on! This is the golden opportunity to show us all the chairs, tables, lamps, sofas, couches, chandeliers, throw pillows and Loch Ness Monster spoons that you always wanted to make!

This is no VR challenge or anything, so there's really no limit on the amount of polygons - go wild! As long as you submit your work on time, you're in the race!

And you stand to win some fabulous prices. We have partnered up with Fox Render Farm, Video Copilot, Greyscalegorilla, Landscape Architects Network, 3D Wayfinder, Allegorithmic and Brighter 3D to give you some trophies that any 3D architect would enjoy - so get your blueprints and start modeling!

It's been a while, but we're back in with a new 3D Printing competition! And this time we came up with no ordinary task - we want to see you putting your artist mind to make 3D printable Sci-fi ships!

We're teaming up with MakePrintable - 3D printing solution that makes everyone lives easier by preparing 3D files for 3D printing automatically and is great for those challenging characters with various wall thickness. Together with New Matter who are bringing their MOD-t 3D Printer for the winner and Form Futura, who once again offer their innovative MetalFil™ 3D printing filaments to the second place winner of this competition! The third place winner will get a 3D printed model of his own ship!

The challenge winners will be decided together by judges from MakePrintable and CGTrader. The challenge will go on until October 10th, so make sure you come up with a good artwork - a worthy winner, if you may. Have in mind, that all submissions must be uploaded and prepared for 3D printing using MakePrintable - just a 4 stage process that can make a 3D file into a 3D print-ready one.

The most important part - enjoy yourself while creating an entry for this competition - to the sci-fi ship battle we go!

Summer is a good time to enjoy nature. As you may have noticed, we're big fans of wildlife - and to celebrate the Mother nature (because, why not?), we're launching a new VR Animals Challenge.

We're teaming up with 3D Artist who will give away two 6-month subscriptions and publish interviews on their site for the lucky winners, Freefly VR, the compatible VR mobile headset makers who'll award every winner with their product and Pixplant - texturing guru's app to get your work done in no time.

This is a low-poly challenge, which means your designed little kitten (or a dinosaur, whichever you may prefer) should not be weigh more than 50,000 polygons. The contest winners will be announced at the end of August - time to bring your skills and animals into Virtual Reality!
