Why a Challenge - "The Greatest Teacher, Failure Is" - Yoda
A challenge rather than a contest because its for you to challenge yourselves and the knowledge you gained from a course to create a masterpiece of your own making. A rules based challenge to maintain consistency and fairness, whilst also maintaining safety to prevent accidents. A challenge to be the best you can be from the knowledge you have today, while striving to be even better tomorrow than you was yesterday. Most importantly, a challenge to have some fun.


How we'll rate your Sci-fi Room scene.
The CG Cookie crew Wes, Kent, Lampel and Wayne will review and pick 4 Sci-fi Room Scenes - entries to include a WIP thread.

The 4 picks get:-

  • Featured across the Gallery for an entire week
  • Shared on CG Cookie's Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with the artist's social media accounts tagged
  • 500XP points

    I wanted to enter this challenge, so I got to work on my submission, and I am just about done, so I came back here to see how to submit and I noticed it says "entries to include a WIP thread". I didn't realize I needed to do a WIP thread, and I am now pretty much done, so  I wouldn't have much to put in a WIP thread, can/should I still submit? And if so, do I just post it in my profiles project gallery to submit, or post it here? Thanks!

    Well done everyone!

    I'm always impressed by the continued effort people have to push themselves.  Great stuff.

  • adrian replied

    All the judges have judged,

    However we do have a tie break.

    As mentioned above, everyone has exceeded expectations and impressed the judges.

    For a short 2 week challenge, all the entries are outstanding, 

    which is why we have a tie break.

    Be patient while we debate the final result.

    We started a tab in spikeyxxx 's bar and aamitbh may entertain you with a twerk while you wait.

    Thanks for your patience!

    I'll be back! (A little Sci-fi reference)
