For Valentine’s Day, we’re running a new contest for 3dsky authors.The theme is А table for two, a romantic dinner setting. Soft lighting, candles already lit, napkins neatly folded, cutlery perfectly placed. A table for two, a slow conversation, a few pauses, the kind of evening that feels complete just the way it is.
That’s the kind of scene we’d love to see in 3D. You’ll have a few weeks to work on your models, and the prize pool is $1,000 plus 100 credits.
