Unity and Polycount are pleased to announce Unity Connect. Here's a bit of text from Unity on what Unity Connect is and what they hoping for with this free service:
"Connect is Unity’s newest app in Beta, a website that brings together the largest global community of Unity-related developers and artists online. Connect users can showcase their skills/projects, collaborate on projects, and search for other developers. Users may also post, or apply for jobs, as well as smaller, more finite tasks.
Connect has a wide variety of talented users from concept artists to backend Scala developers. For individuals Connect provides the means to grow your career. For recruiters, Connect provides a one-stop shop to find the right people for game companies of every size."


As with all big events, we've got a contest for ALL Unity devs this time, not just the artists out there. 


Here's all the official rules and details from the legal dept:  Official Contest Rules Page

    Contest Start Date: November 18th, 2016 12:01 AM Pacific

  • Projects could be anything from concept-art to a whole game, as long as you used Unity along the way.

Second iteration after feedback, etc)

    c) Download this 1024x1024 showcase item (“Polycount Sweepstakes”) and while creating a project, add this as one of your showcase items in order to be eligible.

Terms

Types of Projects

We accept all types of projects! Whether they're concept art for a new game or a working prototype of a VR experience, they're welcome on Connect.

Only post projects you've worked on

This really shouldn't need any explanation. We get it. A lot of people are involved in the creation of a game so there will be some overlap. Unfortunately abusers can have their account deleted if they are reported.

No profanity or nudity

Sorry, but Unity is used by developers, artists and creators of all ages, therefore NSFW content is not allowed to be displayed in the case that minors could be using the site.

No racial, religious, gender or sexual orientation prejudice

We take no exceptions. This will cause your account to be deleted.


NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. FOR FULL RULES:
