Unity Community Art Challenge - March 2016 - Awesome Kart

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 “Awesome Kart”. Ever played Super Mario Kart or Mod Nation Racers or even Looney Tunes Racing? These are just a few examples but you get the idea! We want you to create a “Kart” model of your imagination! Be creative! There is a lot of room for interpretation here! Use your imagination! Let’s see something new and fresh!

As a result we want to see a beautiful small Diorama/Turntable of your “Awesome Kart

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 (March, 31th) to submit their Final Entry

  2. Final Entry must be a “Diorama/Turntable” showcasing the theme “Awesome Kart”. We ask that you use Sketchfab to post your final result here on the forum.

  3. Polycount Limitation for this Challenge is 20.000 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 or PBR etc to enhance your work visually. 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 2 WIP (Work in Progress) Screenshots 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: “UCAC-March2016”.

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

Still hoping my computer will be fixed in time, cause I’ve got a fun cart idea

I don’t think we ever had that many awesome prizes. The guys from SixBySeven Studio are now giving each of the 3 winners a license for ProBuilder!

You wouldn’t believe what people can do in two days :wink:
Also, the theme was announced a week ago. But anyways… looking forward to what people come up with.

Here’s the first wip image for my entry. Not entirely sure what I’m going for, just trying to make a badass kart. It’s also fully functional, as I’m building it to also be used as a working game asset, not just a static model.

Criticism and suggestions welcome. But the flag stays.
