🦖 New CG Boost Challenge: Urban Monsters
|
Zach here, I’m excited to welcome you to our new Urban Monster 3D Sculpting challenge. Starting today, Thursday 20th of March, you have five weeks to sculpt a monster from the concrete jungle and submit video cinematic shots showcasing the full creature and a few closeups. Watch the announcement video below, for all the details. You can go wild with your sculpture ideas:
The main focus lies on creating a nicely sculpted static monster, presented with cinematic lighting and camera motion. Materials, Textures and environments are optional. Once the challenge is complete, we’ll compile the best and most-unique sculptures into an exciting Urban Monsters montage video, which we’ll publish on the CG Boost YouTube channel. Challenge deadline is April 24th at 16:00 CEST.
To celebrate the launch of the sculpting challenge, you can get both the Master Sculpting in Blender and Creature Forge courses with a 20% discount until the end of this challenge. 20% Off Coupon Code: URBANMONSTER Our challenges are made possible thanks to all our CG Boost courses, if you want to get a huge boost as an artist and support us, please check out our courses. ​All CG Boost courses​ I’m excited to see what inspiring Urban Monster designs you will come up with.

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.
