The contest is supported by the best companies of the 3D world, and so the prizes for the first places look amazing. Also, everyone has an opportunity to receive an additional prizes.

Good luck and happy rendering!

    The work must not have been previously published anywhere, neither online or offline (including models with ready-made textures or easily recognizable scenes).

  • 4)

    To win the competition the quality and idea of the work are important. You need to think about the story behind the image. Make sure everything supports your message - composition, lighting, colors etc. Make a greater emotional impact.

  • 5)

  • 6)

    You are free to make WIP on any website, including our forum, either before or after you submit the work and we publish link to it in the gallery.

  • 7)

    Please, provide your work with a short story.

  • 8)

    Add the link to the competition or name of the competition in one of the image corners on your own (so that you can control the quality of the saved work).

  • 9)

    Attach one wireframe or clay render at your choice to your work - we will place it below your work.

  • 1)

    The render should be at least 1000 pixels wide if the work is horizontal.

  • 2)

  • 3)

    Work can be in any style you like (low-poly, cartoon, futuristic etc), with using post production.

  • 4)

    Renders with solid background (one color: black, white etc, test renders, screenshots) and models laid on wallpapers will not be admitted to take part in the competition. As well as works with adult content.

Other possibilities
