🏆 [New Challenge] Lost Tech World & August Spring



Hey Reader,

Zach here,

I’m excited to announce our new August CG Boost Challenge titled, Lost Tech World, as well as the CG Boost August Sprint.

Let’s dive in.


💿 Lost Tech World Challenge

A forgotten world awaits…

Starting today, CG Boost challenges you to create an art piece that captures the mystery and wonder of a long-lost technological civilization.

Whether you choose to craft a detailed prop or vast environments, focus on storytelling through design, composition, and mood.

Uncover the remnants. Reimagine the ruins. What secrets will your Lost Tech World reveal?

Want to participate? Read through our community post to learn more and get started.

Also, we created a cool new badge for this challenge for everyone who finishes:

I mean, that alone should be your reason to join. It’s gorgeous!

RIGHT?! 😁


🏃CG Boost August Sprint

What are CG Boost Sprints?

If you have a goal or personal CG project you are passionately working on and could use a focused space and group of people to help you achieve them, CG Boost Sprints are for you.

They are timed sprints of three weeks, where you set a goal and work to achieve it, while learning from others as they pursue their goals.

Fail to meet that goal?

GREAT. You showed up, tried, and learned a lot. Time to try again with a fresh perspective in the next one.

👉 Join the August CG Boost Sprint here

Can't wait to see what you will create!
