the VG REMIX - A Polycount Contest

adam

We've teased it now for a few days and today we're finally ready to announce our next contest: the VG REMIX!

Brought to you by Polycount & Sketchfab, the VG REMIX is a short, 3-week long contest where artists will create lowpoly dioramas of a scene from one their favourite videogames. These depictions do not need to be in the same style as found in the game they come from – feel free to mix them up! Manga Super Mario? Sounds great! Paper Halo?Why not!? Or do you just want to creatively depict Grand Theft Auto in a low-poly diorama? Do it! Since these are interactive dioramas, that means they must be viewable from ALL angles - exciting!

Participants of this contest will have an opportunity at winning Sketchfab Pro licenses, some swag, and their very own mini-Greentooth trophies. YES, that's right. No surprises this time: You WILL win a Greentooth trophy of your very own if you place in the Top 3 for the VG REMIX.

What are you waiting for? Head on over to the VG REMIX contest page and get started!

CONTEST BEGINS: Monday, July 22nd 2013
CONTEST ENDS: August 11th, 2013 @ 11:59PM EST (GMT -4)

is there any problem with doing this as a duo? like prize or rule wise?

I got a question, can it be from games that are not released yet? I know it must be a very grey water. I got a couple of ideas in mind. And if not, its fine, got other ideas too.

Really excited about this

Been wanting to work on my core modelling and texturing skills by creating some kind of low poly diorama piece. Then this pops up! Amazing.

Picking a game will be tricky...

Darn it, I'm working on finishing up a demo release for an indie game project right now, but darn it, I want a Greentooth trophy! Plus, I love SketchFab. Given the nature of this contest being low-poly, and since I missed the last several contests, I might squeeze in this little contest in my schedule. Darn it, I'm sure going to try! ...Darn it!

Would scenes from a Machinima series/episode be okay to do? They are still technically games based but just presented as film.

Is there a limit to how many times you can enter E.g. If i Decided to create two different Games that i couldn't decide between
