3D Week :iconcymae:


Today's contest is to submit a 3D Model that would be fabulous if it were 3D printed!



Don't forget to check the =3D Week Announcement= regularly for upcoming events and contests this week, we've got a lot on!



From today until Friday, you can note Cymae with your entry. The title of the note MUST be "3D Week Modeling Contest Entry", and should contain a single thumbcode.
This can be any new or existing model in your gallery, so feel free to polish off those fantastic older pieces that might be a bit neglected. :statue-polish: by arrioch

The thing about this contest is that we're looking for models which would be great printed. Think about which model in your gallery would benefit from 3D printing, and importantly is solid enough to print (things that float in space obviously won't work). Here's 10 things 3D printers can do now to get you thinking! :eager:

Entrants will be short-listed and final judging will be conducted by Professor Olaf Diegel,

Judging Criteria:

Your model will be judged on:
:bulletgreen: Complexity and Technical Difficulty
:bulletgreen: How well it would 3D Print
:bulletgreen: Overall Aesthetics
:bulletgreen: Adherance to the rules

Prizes:

Gold - AU by AutumnOwl First Prize: Your model printed by Professor Diegel

Rules:

:bulletred: Any 3D model in your gallery that is 100% your own work will be accepted (this can be anything; characters, objects, furniture, vehicles, etc).
:bulletred: You MUST be able to provide the model file and a valid postal address for printing if you win first place. If you cannot provide the model to be printed, you will be disqualified and the next winning entrant will be promoted.
:bulletred: Please submit a model only, textures OK, but no scenery or post processing.
:bulletred: Only one (1) entry per person. If more entries are received, only the first will be taken, and you will be unpopular with the judges for spamming the contest.
:bulletred: You must note Cymae with your entry. The title of the note must be "3D Week Modeling Contest Entry" and should contain a single thumb code.
:bulletred: No entries will be accepted after Friday 2 December 11.59pm Pacific Standard Time. The time stamp from your note will be taken.

Good Luck!
