Welcome to Europa Island, where it’s kill or be killed in a battle royale. And it’s not just people trying
Welcome to Europa Island, where it’s kill or be killed in a battle royale. And it’s not just people trying to kill you – the volcanic island is also a deathtrap. But there is one escape helicopter left – with only 4 seats. Can you outrun the volcano, outshoot the competition, and escape the island before it’s too late??
Xtreme Survival is your only chance! And you’re going to need to use your special BMX, grapple hook, or hang glider skills to get out of this mess. So show us your best final 2D & 3D designs (and 4 WIPs) for a chance to win a new gaming laptop, graphics card, other top gaming accessories, and CGMA online classes! And, of course, to escape the island alive.
The Challenge – Choose either Option A or Option B:
+OPTION A – 2D or 3D:
Using the characters & skills from Ring of Elysium, show a character using a skill to escape the volcanic eruption & survive.
Fully design and model/render one Ring of Elysium character using a skill to escape the volcanic eruption of Europa Island. (Showing the volcano is not required.) Whether hang gliding off of the clock tower, grappling through the forest, or BMX-biking off a cliff jump – you decide!
Pick one character: Sylvia, Bradley, or Alfonso
