Through the month of August we’re challenging 3D artists to create their very own animated trading card! We’re hooking you up with a 3D template and 13 hand-animated rigs so you can focus on designing your character in the Gauntlet of Gods 3D Challenge.
After the August 31st deadline, you'll get to actually use your card in battle, ‘cause we’re teaming up with CREO cards and game designer AJ Brandon to make a community-built card game! The game is for the community, by the community, so it will always be free to play digitally. However, we’re also printing, packaging and shipping a limited physical run of the best 100 submissions, with all proceeds going to UNESCO's International Fund for Cultural Diversity to support artists and art projects in the global south.

![LiveTutorial: How to Render PHOTOREAL Art [Cinema 4D + Octane]
Today on the stream were going for #photorealism and recreating a photo with #Cinema4D + #Octane. The goal is to match the source image as close as possible, which in our case is a Japanese teapot. Ive been playing a ton of Ghost of Tsushima and feel its fitting.
