In the 3D Art challenge (previously the Modelling challenge) create a 3D video game environment diorama of one of the scenes provided in an outlined story. Incorporate details and complexity that support your interpretation.

New this year! Choose from one of two animation challenges – Cinematic Animation or Gameplay Animation – and create a 3D CG animation that shows off your skills. Submissions should highlight your attention to detail, use of believable body mechanics and creativity.

Through this technical gameplay challenge, you will create and submit a game made entirely in C++ using a provided API. The API will be available for download one month before the challenge weekend.

Apply your design sensibilities across the two-part Level Design challenge that will represent the production journey a mission takes, from its earliest “on paper” pitch to its very first appearance “on screen.”

This challenge is all about creating a technical interpretation of an artistic challenge. Technical Art is a unique melding of art and technical knowledge. Construct the scene described in the 3D Art challenge, and then choose a technical area of focus to help bring your creation to life.

Bring a story to life. In the Concept Art challenge create your submission while paying close attention to broad descriptions and important details that will support your interpretation of the visuals.
