KitBash3D Launches Mission to Minerva Community Art Challenge

The contest runs now through December 2, 2022, with guest judges from ILM, Riot Games, NASA, Netflix & CD Projekt Red. All participants receive free premium Kits, training resources, and the opportunity to win great prizes.

KitBash3D team invites creatives to join the Mission to Minerva, a new global community art challenge. The mission: build a galaxy. Artists will get access to a free, 3D asset Kit filled with everything a spacefaring explorer needs, from cargo ships, terrain rovers, modular habitats, and terraformers to use as they build their own space settlement concept art or animation. Creations will be seen by top entertainment recruiters and art directors, and challengers have the chance to win great prizes.

As part of Mission to Minerva, KitBash3D has created free basic training tutorials to teach new and seasoned artists everything they need to know to build their first 3D world or animation in Blender and Unreal Engine 5. Anyone interested in joining the challenge can get their free Kit, and training on the official website.

Mission to Minerva presents artists with a unique challenge to flex their creativity, hone new skills, and showcase their talent while teaming up to build a new fictional star system.
