The CG Boost challenge is back 🚀
Hey Reader,
Zach here,
I’m super excited to announce that the CG Boost Challenge is finally back.
It’s new,
It’s improved,
And it’s now live!
We titled it “Inspiring Moments”.
A fantastic way to improve as an artist and push yourself, is by giving yourself simple limitations. For example, what if you just use cubes to build a scene?
Introducing our first-ever Cubic Worlds Challenge.
In this challenge, you’ll be limited to using only cubic shapes to create an 8-second long 3D animation, inspired by your favorite media, whether it’s a book, movie, TV show, video game etc.
Watch the following video or click on the community link below to join the challenge and start creating.

To help you with the Cubic Worlds Challenge, we’re offering a 20% discount on our Cubic Worlds Course, as well as the fantastic Blender animation course by our guest judge, P2Design, called “Alive”.
Both courses will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to create an amazing 3D animation using only cubic shapes.
Use the coupon code CUBICWORLDS20 for both courses to get your 20% discount.

I’m excited to see what inspiring moment you choose from your favorite media, and how you interpret that as a cubic animation.
Now, have fun with the challenge, and as always...
Stay creative!
