New 3D Art Challenge: Science Lab! 🧪💥🏆
Hey Reader,
Zach here, and our next 3D Art challenge is live, with the topic "Science Lab"!
| Join the fun! |
How does it work?

- You have 4 weeks time (submit till December 14th, 2022)
- You can use any 3D tool of your choice (not only Blender)
- Post your work-in-progress renders here to get feedback
- Get the chance to win some cool prizes
- Submit your render here
- Have fun, improve your 3D skills and create art for your portfolio
Training Arena vs Pro Arena
To make the challenge more accessible, we have two categories, the “Training Arena” and the “Pro Arena”.
Training Arena: This category is for all beginner 3D artists, that want to improve their skills in a save place, without much pressure, because here there won’t be any winners. However, we will highlight a few artworks which we like a lot on the winner page.
Pro Arena: This category is where you can show the world what you got, by competing against other more advanced 3D artists. Here we will honor the best artworks with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, and two honorable mentions. They will eternalize on the winner page, in the hall of fame, and they will win some great prizes.
Judging Team & Guest Judge
Again, the core CG Boost team will pick the winners, joined by Jesse, the creator of Kaizen Tutorials as guest judge for this challenge.
What prizes can you win?
Each category has its own prize pool, sponsored by our amazing sponsors.
For the "Training Arena", we raffle 8 cool educational prizes under everyone that participates in this category (so 8 people will receive one prize each). So you can win something, just by participating.
For the "Pro Arena", we have a prize pool of 3D assets and free render credits, which will be distributed among all three winners and the two honorable mentions.

Hey Reader, Zach here, Back with a fresh dose of inspiration and resources from the 3D world to kick off the new year! Today, I’ll start with the news of Ton Roosendal (Blender’s Dad) stepping down as Blender Foundation CEO. Next, I’ll share a funny Blender animation about the dangers of ordering coffee in a bus and our new 3D Challenge announcement, and finally, a "Big Book of Holes" from Jan van den Hemel. Let’s dive in. End of an Era - Ton Roosendaal stepped down as Blender’s CEO The start...
Hey Reader, Alan here, I help manage CG Boost. Today I want to share a second, more personal newsletter with you. Last week, I wrote about making art for the sake of art, and about not automatically following the more deconstructive trends in 3D. If you missed that one, you can read it by clicking here. This time, I want to talk about something many of my 3D artist friends (myself included) ran into when a creative hobby slowly started turning into something more serious. My career started as...
Hey Reader, Alan here, I help manage CG Boost. It's our Christmas/holiday break at CG Boost, I wanted to write you a thought piece. My goal with this email is to give you a bit of breathing room and maybe help you make a few wise choices on your creative artistic path. I want to start at the end by making two suggestions. Nothing too dramatic, but two clear ways, I invite you to be a bit of a rebel as a 3D artist. Rebellion Suggestion #1 Say no to hustle culture more often. When was the last...
