We invite all 3D artists to imagine the World with flying cars on the city roads. Do they still need wheels and gasoline? Maybe they don't need drivers anymore. You can choose any related topic to the Sci-Fi city vehicles - we don't limit your creative ideas. Participation in the contest is open to all comers, whose works comply with the rules.

Everything is as usual: you have to create a vehicle 3d model, put it into 3D environment and make a beautiful render. Primarily we will pay attention to the visual component of your works, but this is not all that you need to win. The idea of the work is also very important for us, as well as its presentation, complicacy (both the model and its scene) and quality of performance.

The contest is supported by the best companies of the 3D world. Everyone has an opportunity to receive the additional prizes. Read conditions at the bottom of the page.

We’re waiting for your works from March 16 to May 31.

Good luck and happy rendering!

Where to begin:
Start a WIP on any CG related website you like. hashtag Share your renderings with us by tagging @3dmodels_hub on Instagram and @3dmodels on Linkedin.

Share your art and chat with other artists - we are sure that creative and friendly atmosphere of the competition will help the growth of each participant. See previous challenges >

We receive your works from March 16 to May 31 (inclusive). Submissions end at 15:00 (GMT). For your convenience we have set the timer on the page, but don't forget to update it. The competition has one general category.

Then create a beautiful 3D rendering of it (or them). Think creative. Military vehicles such as tanks/fighting vehicles and airplaines, helicopters, space rockets/ships, motorcycles as "main character" are not accepted.

  • 2)

    Your entry must be a 3d rendered image. Environment should be made in 3D. No texture/polycount limit.

  • 3)

    Renders with one color background (black, white etc), test renders, not completed pixelated and low quality renders, screenshots and models laid on wallpapers or on photos will not be admitted to take part in the competition.

  • 5)
