​‘Gift Factory’ 3D Animation Challenge ​

A good birthday party needs great birthday gifts, so we came up with a new 3D challenge idea: ‘Gift Factory’.

Here’s what it’s all about:

We challenge you to make a 3D-rendered gift assembly animation.

For this, we’ve prepared a template blend file with a simple pre-animated conveyor belt and a folding box for the gift.

It's up to you what you will fill that box with. Have fun and get creative!

The biggest prize of this challenge is the fun and progress you get out of it, but we’ve also prepared some extra goodies for the winners and for all who join the party.

⏰ Challenge Deadline is November 6th, 2026 (16:00 CET)

​Read all about the challenge here​

Can’t wait to see what you create.

Have a great weekend, and till next time.
