It’s the end of the year and the holidays are almost here. Which means (besides hanging out and eating way too much with friends and family) we're having a Christmas Themed Contest!

    Guidelines

    • You can use any 3D software or renderer
    • This is an image only contest (no animations sorry)
    • Only one entry per person
    • Minor post processing in Photoshop or other 2D editor is allowed
    • Minimum size is 1920px wide but the bigger the better (any aspect ratio is fine)
    • Your entry must be a new creation, not an existing project
    • It must be mostly your work. Bought or third-party models are allowed but mustn't make up more than 20% of the screen space.
    • Photographic elements are allowed, but it should be mostly 3D (sky backgrounds are okay)
    • Your entry must in some way relate to the theme
