Let's travel without borders and restrictions by using 3D art and imagination. Lots of beautiful buildings around the world are waiting for visitors. Explore them and tell us about your favorite ones.
The idea: help everyone to be involved in a short virtual traveling around the World, discover new countries, and see iconic buildings.
What you need to do: Сreate a 3D work with a famous building from your country to help other participants to see this beautiful place. Tell its history and why it's the best place to visit.
We invite all 3D artists to participate. Don't forget to read the rules of the contest.
The contest is supported by the best companies in the 3D world, and so the prizes for the first places look amazing. Also, everyone has an opportunity to receive additional prizes. Read conditions at the bottom of the page.
We're waiting for your works from March 17 to June 3.
Good luck and happy rendering!
We receive your works from March 17 to June 3 (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.
Create a 3D work with a famous building from your or any other country, that would be the best place to visit by a traveler. Add 3D environment and textures. Then create a beautiful 3D rendering of it.
The famous place can be exterior or interior (e.g. Sistine Chapel) - we don't limit your creative ideas. But we will not accept simple rooms, interior flats, not existed office buildings and suburban houses - it must be a recognizable place.
Your entry must be a 3d rendered image. Environment should be made in 3D - it doesn't have to be an exact copy of location, you can add your own version of "small things" in design; we permit the use of HDRi for sky and some parts of landscape. No texture/polycount limit.
Renders with solid background (one color: 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. As well as works with adult content: not allowed works with blood, violence, erotic and political topics.
Using of third-party assets such as vegetation, street elements is allowed. Building models should be made by you.
Enhancing your rendering in post is allowed – That includes things like color adjustments, compositing render layers/passes, and adding effects like smoke, fire, particles, etc. Adding photographic elements (like cut out characters or vegetation) or doing paintovers or photobashing is not allowed.
The work must not have been previously published anywhere, neither online or offline. It must be original art created by you specifically for the challenge (no existing projects, stock models or concepts made by other artists).
You have to submit a link to the "Work in process" to prove the authorship. You are free to make WIP on any CG website: ArtStation, CgSociety, Polycount, Behance etc (please don't use temporary storages, such as Dropbox, Google Drive etc and social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram etc). WIP must contain main steps of modeling. Works without WIP will not be accepted.
You can submit only one work.
Please, provide your work with a short story: history of the building and why it's the best place to visit.
Add the name of the competition in one of the image corners. You can add your name and title of the work as well.
Attach one wireframe or clay render at your choice to your work.
The render should be at least 1500 pixels wide if the work is horizontal.
Render size should not exceed 2 mb and should be in .jpg format.
Work can be in any style you like (low-poly, cartoon, futuristic etc), with using post production.
The work can be updated during the competition. The only condition - you can not change the idea of the work, or modify it drastically. Only reasonable changes allowed.
You can correct the description and the list of tools after the work was submitted - just contact us.
After your work is published on the competition page, you are free to share your work on other websites and social networks. Don't forget about the hashtag, so we could Like and share it too.
You can see previous competitions here and "Hall of fame" here.
After sending the work via the contact form you will receive within one business day a confirmation letter with a link to a page in the competition gallery. If you don't receive the letter, please contact us.
Within one week after the competition ends the jury will determine the winners and we will publish the results. We will estimate the idea of your work, visual component, atmosphere and total amount of the work done.
Waiting eagerly for your work!
