The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (96)
ngon master
Welcome one and all to the 96th edition of the Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge for the months of May and June!
This challenge is a way for real-time 3D artists to test their skills and create a piece of work based on concepts provided. It's open to those of all skill levels and we do our best to provide meaningful feedback along the way so everyone can come away from the challenge with actionable points on which they can improve their craft!
Anyone is welcome in this challenge no matter your skill level! It's a test of your own ability not a competition between members. We're all here to improve as artists and learn from each other.

Good luck everyone!

Please read all the rules before starting:- Try to post at least one critique for every post that you make. This will make for a better learning environment and help us all grow as artists.
- Try your best to finish as much as you can in the time frame provided, but remember even if you don't finish by the end of the challenge we encourage you to keep pushing and finish your piece!
- Post what you are working on in this thread so that way it's a more centralized place for advice and critique. Please avoid creating a new thread as we don't want to spam out the forums.
- It is recommended to use a game engine to present your work. Unreal Engine, Unity, and Godot are very common engines that can be used but feel free to use any alternatives that you want.
- 3D Viewers (Sketchfab, Marmoset Viewer, etc) are welcome, but please note that their contents can be stolen by those who know how. Please ensure you're comfortable with this potential before using one.
- Feel free to change up your chosen concept a bit if you want! Interpret these concepts to your liking, especially if your aim is to add storytelling elements.
- If you finish your project and decide to post it to something like Artstation, make sure you give credit to the concept artist in the form of a link to their profile. Additionally, it is recommended to ask a concept artist for their permission to post a 3D piece based on their work before doing so.
- RECOMMENDATIONS -
- When you are just starting out making a scene, it can seem complicated or imposing. Take your time planning and blocking out, it will set you up for success later on.
- Think about how you can re-use assets, re-use textures, break it down as simple as possible and plan it out. A lot of people will break it down in their own way when they start out their challenge. Gather some reference images as well for different parts of the scene, don't be afraid to make it your own.
- We strongly encourage you to go and look at other games and see how they make their assets as well as get concept art to give it your own feel.
- The goal is to learn and grow both artistically and in your ability to both give and receive critique, but don't stress about it and remember to have fun!
Good luck everyone!

Hey all!
Here is my very basic first blockout of the haunted classroom environment. Just wanted to get a sense of scale and make the inital plans on what I need to do for this environment and try to pinpoint the most difficult parts for me. Next step is conitnuing the blockout with more meshes and details and figuring out what works and what not.
Cheers
I'm working on the crate as well. Here is my blockout. Excited to see everyone's progress!
@BillyJackman you're on a good start, what jumps at me is that your round decoration elements near the top surface are really shy compared to the concept. I also feel that the main bottom part of your crate could be a bit taller and the main top part could be slightly shorter.

Yours is looking good
Here is my first pass at rendering the crate. Turned out kinda cool. The liquid in the vials was a bit of an interesting rendering challenge.

The crate is lighter on the inside due that panel shading, not wall material variation, and it's possible to see stylized diagonal reflections on the panel over the vials, but the saturated greens and the artist's choice of keeping the lineart as black as the rest makes it hard to spot that cue.
Oh my god... You are right lol I totally missed that

Thanks,
