Hum3D Car Render Challenge 2021
As every year, Hum3D.com started the next Car Render Challenge 2021 for 3D artists. Similar as for the CG Boost Challenge, you can join in, improve your 3D skills and win some cool prizes.
All you need to do is to create a 3D car, put it into a 3D environment and create a beautiful render of it. You can recreate a real car, or let your imagination go crazy.
For this challenge you have plenty of time, till December 8th, 2021.
I personally joined once in the past, and it was a ton of fun. For this year's edition, I'm one of the judges. 👨⚖️
Hope to see some nice renders from you.
