I’m excited to announce that we’re bringing 3D modeling challenges to our community. There’s nothing we love more than seeing the amazing models you create, and what better way to see what you can do than to add a little competition to the mix?

For this first challenge, we’re asking you to think warm, beachy thoughts. We’re in the midst of winter here in Colorado and we could use a little heat! Use this model as inspiration or as the setting to build your dream beach house, treehouse, or even tiki hut. Bonus points if there’s an extra hammock for us.

Feel free to get as creative as you want. We’re judging this based on both your solid modeling skills and your imagination, but we’re purposely leaving it open-ended so we can see what you come up with

What’s in it for you?
