Halloween Rendering Competition

ARI is excited to announce its First Annual Halloween Rendering Competition! As part of our Twitch modeling series, we created a custom 3D pumpkin and a 3D carved pumpkin. Now we're challenging viewers to render these into their own Halloween-themed image. We'll announce the winners and honorable mentions on our weekly Twitch stream on November 5 at 5pm EST.

Contest Details

Deadline: Sunday, November 1 11:59PM EST

Instructions: Create a rendered image incorporating one of the ARI pumpkins, or using your own! The scene must be fully rendered, with a white-on-white render also submitted as proof. Entrants can download the 3D pumpkins here, or model and render their own, custom pumpkin.

Submission Requirements: All final submissions must be emailed to [email protected]. (1) Final images should be square JPG formatted at 3000 x 3000 pixels. In addition to one final render, please also submit: (2) a white-on-white render JPG of the same scene at 3000 x 3000 pixels; (3) list of software used to create the scene; and (4) your complete name, email, and city or country of residence.
