Theme

Lonely Cabin

The build supplied for this contest, while epic, is designed to be simple to allow maximum flexibility for render artists to express their creativity.

This is a render contest, meaning that the build will not be judged. Instead, criteria will be the artistic expression of the render as judged by a panel of established render artists.  The artistic expression is defined as the compelling story told by the render given the coloring, lighting, and atmosphere.

Deadline

Renders are due Saturday 16 May 2020

Renders will be graded on the following categories on a 10 point scale:
– Composition (how the build and environment is framed, perspective, angle)
– Artistic Expression (how the render expresses the story or theme, creativity)
– Style (the technical difficulty of the style and approach used)
