Intended to foster community learning and celebrate the work of the industry’s rising stars, ArtStation’s Challenges aren’t like other CG contests. Here’s how they differ – and why we turned to noted industrial designer Ivan Šantić to create the iconic designs for the awards
If you’ve been following ArtStation’s new community challenges, you may have noticed that they aren’t ordinary CG challenges. The first challenge attracted over 3,300 entries, with some artists putting in hundreds of hours into the challenge. And rather than gaining a simple badge to add to user profiles, each of the winners will receive a complete virtual trophy, designed with meticulous attention to detail by industrial designer Ivan Šantić.
