Sloyd in-a-Ball Render Challenge
Put your texturing, rendering and composition skills to the test!
Put your texturing, rendering and composition skills to the test! Take the provided snow globe asset, and fill it up with your customized Sloyd models to make a nicely composed render.
Think of it like setting up a display window, where you receive an empty window and a few mannequins, and you get to design it however you want. Instead of a window there's a 'snowball', and instead of 'mannequins' you have Sloyd assets.

Judges of the Challenge
Avi LatnerI co-founded Sloyd two and a half years ago and since then I've been working very closely with 3D artists and game developers. Before that, I managed a few web based products and creative tools and worked with large teams of designers and developers.
Jørgen Lande NyborgA Norwegian 3D artist and virtual art enthusiast. I studied 3D in Kristinia University and now I'm here in Sloyd where I specialize modeling parts and preparing generators. Excited to judge this competition and see all the amazing work I'm sure will come from this.
Pavel ArkhipovA 3D enthusiast with an Architecture Science degree. For the last couple of years I've been working in mobile games, handling modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation. I also do creative direction consulting with Sloyd and I'm working on my own game.
Sergio RossiI'm a 3D artist in Sloyd. I studied 3D animation and game design at Noroff and I'm particularly interested in hard surface modeling. I worked on many of the generators in Sloyd, so I'm curious to see what you make.
