Competition: 3D Car Render Challenge

3D Artists, it’s time to get your motors running! 3DModels.org is having the 10th annual 3D Car Render Challenge, with some fantastic prizes. It’s the largest awards event for automotive 3D modeling and visualization.
3D Car Render Challenge
“What you need to do: create a 3D car model, place it in an atmospheric 3D environment and make a beautiful rendering. There are no limits to your creative ideas: you can choose any car you like, whether it is a racing car or an imaginary one.
Please read the full contest rules here.
We will pay attention to the visual component of your work, but that is not all you need to win. The idea of the work is also very important to the judges, as well as the presentation, the complexity (of both the model and the scene), and the quality of the performance. We’re looking for a scene that tells a story and captures the imagination of the viewer.
The contest is supported by the best companies in the 3D world. In addition to the main prizes, everyone has a chance to win additional prizes.”
Submit entries September 20th thru December 6th, 2023. Submissions end at 15:00 GMT.
