CGDealers, educational platform for CG artists and enthusiasts, announces the launch of its inaugural design challenge, "Grand Discovery." This competition, focused on game environments, offers participants of all skill levels the opportunity to showcase their talent using Unreal Engine.
The Grand Discovery challenge is ideal for both beginners and experienced users, with no prior experience required in working with Unreal Engine. Participants will have access to a pre-designed scene where they can scatter objects and bring their unique environment to life. With a simple click of the Render button, the final render of the scene will be ready for submission.
"We wanted to create a challenge that would inspire creativity, regardless of skill level," says the CGDealers team. "The 'Grand Discovery' challenge provides participants with a pre-designed scene as a starting point, allowing them to explore their imagination and showcase their talent in environment design."
Participants are encouraged to submit their final rendered videos, adhering to the recommended settings of 5 seconds / 300 frames, 1920x1080 resolution, and 60 FPS. The project files for the challenge can be downloaded from here. Submissions can be made through this online form.
