Community Showcases
1

Unity Technologies is happy to announce it’s next “Unity Community Forum Challenge”! Everybody is welcome to join in and show other fellow artist what they can do and compete for the First Place!

This months Challenge is themed "Thor’s Hammer - ". We all have seen various depictions of Thor’s Hammer throughout comics and movies! Now is the time to let your creative juices flow and design a new look for “Mjolnir” (Thor’s Hammer). Use your imagination! Impress us with your creativity and imagination. Let’s see something new and fresh!

As a result we want to see a beautiful small Diorama/Turntable of your version of “Mjolnir”! If you aren’t familiar with the lore please check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mjölnir

Post Work in Progress Screenshots or even use Sketchfab to present your work in progress. See rules below.

  1. Participants will have till the end of the month (January, 31th) to submit their Final Entry

  2. Final Entry must be a “Diorama/Turntable” showcasing the theme “Thor’s Hammer - Mjolnir”. We ask that you use Sketchfab to post your final result here on the forum.

  3. Polycount Limitation for this Challenge is 5.000 Vertices. Only ever use as many polygons as necessary to define a shape! This is a game art challenge after all! Make use of normal maps etc to give your textures/meshes more detail.

  4. You can use normal maps, specular maps etc to enhance your work visually. Perhaps try to combine textures onto one texture sheet if possible for efficiency, however it’s not a requirement. There is no restriction on how many textures you can use but keep in mind that this is a game art challenge so don’t go too crazy.

  5. Entrants must post at least 1 WIP (Work in Progress) Screenshot before submitting their Final Entry. We suggest you post more and get feedback! Please visit https://help.sketchfab.com/hc/en-us/sections/200485707-Uploading-3D-Models for further information on how to use and upload to Sketchfab.

  6. Your final entries must be submitted through Sketchfab. Please tag your final submission with: “UCAC5”.

  7. No previous work can be used. This essentially means that you should create everything from scratch!

  8. No nudity or gross violence please! Keep it clean and fun for everyone!

This month Hutong Games (Playmaker) and the fine folks from Sketchfab are sponsoring our contest once again! The winners will receive the following:

1st Place : 1 Playmaker License and 1 Year of Sketchfab Pro and Cardboard VR
2nd Place: 1 Playmaker License 1 Year of Sketchfab Pro
3rd Place: 1 Playmaker 6 Months of Sketchfab Pro

Additionally, Sketchfab is currently in the making of a special “Unity Community Art Challenge” Award which can be 3D Printed! More on that soon!

We hope to see many of you participate! Let’s get this started!

Nice choice of theme for this month, but at the same time quite a challenge to think passed the Marvel version - it’s so iconic!

Have to have a think and see if any inspiration strikes me for this one :slight_smile:

One thing I would like to point out about the rules: at point 2 you are encouraged to post your final work through Sketchfab but the later at point 6 you must submit it this way.

5

Not sure I’ll actually finish this, but I had the idea and ran with it anyways.

JeevanjotSingh, I believe you can use whatever software you want, as long as your model meets requirements from the rules and you will be able to submit it.
