Challenges: 3D Art

VanessaCeline

Hey, I was wondering where I could find monthly / general 3D art related community challenges?

I know there are some on freelance sites with challenges or artstation even, but maybe there's something where you can see them more frequently? I'll have some free time soon and I've been wanting to join in on that for a while now.

Polycount has one every two months for prop/enviroments and I think every 3 months for characters. Then there are multiple Discords, check out Experience Points, DiNusty, and NMG(NoMoreGrid) all discords have challenges I believe. There are also all of the inktober prompts if you want a personal challenge.

For a more physical and less public challenge there is something called the Reckless Deck which I quite like. The reckless deck:Worlds is what I started with and friends have gotten me various expansions. They were originally made for character design but all the cards can be used with world/environment building. An example that I use for the character cards is those cards describe the being that lives in the space I am building. Idc about making the character just what how the traits or items of that character would influence their dwelling. https://recklessdeck.com/collections/decks/products/reckless-deck-worlds

If you want to check it out thats the link above. If you prefer the more communal challenges any of the spots above are a good starting point.

Well, if you're looking for something too challenge yer digi-chops, on a per monthly basis then check out CG Boost, as well. Stumbled across their ad while trawling the boards over at BA:
