🦖 New CG Boost Challenge: Urban Monsters

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read


Hey Reader,

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:

  • Cute hardworking monsters taking care of the city
  • Quirky inhabitants
  • Giant skyscraper high behemoths
  • Creepy creatures living in the city shadows
  • Anything urban and monster themed...

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.

I’m excited to see what inspiring Urban Monster designs you will come up with.

Have fun!

Hey Reader, Zach here, Have you ever struggled with getting your 3D character’s walking animation to look right? I know how hard it is without proper guidance. It’s easy to get lost in all those tiny details that matter and not be able to see what’s making it all go wrong. I’ve got something for you that can help you understand the walk cycle animation inside out. My friend Brian Kouhi (a professional animator and founder of ToAnimate) shared a full 1-hour-long lesson on making a walk cycle...

Hey Reader, Zach here, If you are struggling to find the motivation to learn 3D, or if you have abandoned projects and courses half way, you are most definitely not alone. In fact, I believe it is the most common struggle all artists go through. This also happened to Tetiana Markov, one of our passionate CG Boost students and challenge participants. We were very excited to interview her, to share her story of how she overcame all kinds of self-doubt and got her work featured on Blender Nation...
