🎨 CA3D Painting Contest Announcement! 🎨
Added 2024-05-17 19:11:16 +0000 UTC
Dear CA3D Community,
Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce the second CA3D Painting Contest, where your artistic talents can shine, and you get a chance to win a share of $1750 in prizes! Here are the details:
Contest Rules:
The painted model must be a CA3D model.
The contestant must be a CA3D patron at the time of the prize delivery (June 24th).
The painting must be created during the contest period; no models painted before that will be accepted.
Contestants must share at least 2 Work in Progress (WIP) pictures of their progress using the hashtag #CA3Dcontest on Instagram. The post with the finished work must also use this hashtag and tag our Instagram @ca.3d.studios. This time we will be checking all the entries in one place (#CA3Dcontest on Instagram), so be sure to upload your WIPs and finished work there.
Entries are individual, so only present what was made by you.
Only one work will be considered per participant (you can submit more than one work, but we will only consider the one we think is the best).
Contest Information:
$1000 USD prize for 1st place, $500 for 2nd place, and $250 for 3rd place.
Contest duration: May 17 to June 24.
Winner announcement: July 4th, 2024.
The champion will be announced on Groundeffected’s YouTube channel.
The prize will be delivered via PayPal, so make sure you have an account capable of receiving payments.
I actually have the same question as Mr. Meyer there, I posted my work to Instagram and I’m not entirely sure I did it right to be honest.. @deviantbydesignllc

Want to make sure my entry was accepted. How do I know CA 3D will see my entry?
I see the instagram sharing photos of others work, is that how confirmation is done?

Got a fair bit left to do Artemis, so this will be a busy weekend! 🙂 When is the deadline for the final submission post? Any time before midnight on Monday evening?
Donald Johansson

No, it won't be a problem. We verify all the posts that tag our Instagram @ca.3d.studios and use the hashtag #CA3Dcontest.
Carlos Eduardo
2024-06-19 09:45:20 +0000 UTC
My Instagram has little or no connection to my Patreon profile. Isn't this a problem since the contest is only for subscribers? How will you be able to verify the profile? I tried to find some kind of association with Patreon, but there isn't any. I included my Instagram in the name to try to have some kind of identification.

No, you don't need to link your Instagram account to Patreon. During the judging process, we will verify your entries through the hashtag #CA3Dcontest on Instagram. Just make sure to share at least 2 Work in Progress (WIP) pictures and your final work using the hashtag #CA3Dcontest and tag our Instagram @ca.3d.studios. This will allow us to easily find and review your submission.
Carlos Eduardo
2024-06-07 14:58:47 +0000 UTC
Do we need our Instagram account linked to patreon or will it be verified during judging.

Wished I could be a part of this, but I just don't have the time. Looking forward to seeing the entries. Good luck all!

There are many submissions, and some aren't shared on our Instagram page. However, don't worry! During the final review of the contest, we will carefully analyze each submission. We will dedicate a day just for that
Carlos Eduardo
2024-06-05 14:03:59 +0000 UTC
What is your name on Instagram?
Carlos Eduardo
2024-06-05 14:01:49 +0000 UTC
Why aren’t any of my submissions on the page? I tagged them correctly
Carlos Rivera

Groundeffected will choose

We'd love to have you join this painting contest! Even if the timing isn't perfect, it's a great opportunity to showcase your skills and have some fun. And yes, there will definitely be more contests in the future. We're planning to have another one, possibly by the end of the year. So, give it a try now, and stay tuned for more chances to participate!
Carlos Eduardo
2024-06-03 18:32:33 +0000 UTC
How is it being judged though? I don't want to join a contest where it's just a popular community vote.

I am a new painter and would love to join this contest but unfortunately the timing is bad for me to get a model painted. Do you think there will be more contests in the future??? This is a great idea for fun!

I will gladly join the competition ^^

Well damn, I went so long without falling into those social medias lmao
David Wagner
2024-05-27 12:57:58 +0000 UTC
yes
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-27 12:54:17 +0000 UTC
Is Instagram required? I really don't want to create an Instagram lol

Don't worry about comparing yourself to others—this contest is all about having fun and pushing your own boundaries. Everyone has to start somewhere, and participating is a great way to learn and grow. Plus, you never know what you might achieve. We'd love to see your work, so give it a shot!
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-23 01:36:53 +0000 UTC
Everyone starts somewhere, and participating in the contest is a great way to learn and improve. Don't worry about being new—what matters is the passion and effort you put into your work. Painting Juggernaut sounds like an exciting project, and we'd love to see your progress. Go ahead and join the contest—you might surprise yourself!

ha, i know that there are some people here with wicked talent, i will just watch the outcomes.

I just started my painting journey, no way im ready for this :) But maybe in future years! Just about to paint my first ever statue and chose Juggernaut!

Every great artist started with a first step, and you’re already ahead by wanting to try. Just go for it, and remember that practice makes perfect. 🎨✨
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-21 17:51:20 +0000 UTC
T^T need some prints... and confidence level is -50%. Won't know unless I try... I suppose can give it a go. QwQ
Juanny
2024-05-21 03:02:10 +0000 UTC
Yes, that's fine! As long as the painting hasn't started before the contest officially opened, it's acceptable. Printing before the contest is okay; it's the painting that counts.
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-20 15:41:00 +0000 UTC
Technicality question - if the model was printed before the contest officially opened, but I haven't started painting it, is that OK? I printed Rebecca Smasher a couple weeks ago, but she's been sitting in a box since then.

I'm in the same boat but super excited to just try and hope for the best I have like .000002% confidence but also would be happy even being an honorable mention on groundeffected's channel ... love that dudes work. He's not competing right... right hahahaha

Are these items going to be judged, or is it just for effect? I hope it is the latter, as that will make it almost impossible for somebody to win that doesn't add those extra "diorama" details.
Eric Kraus
2024-05-19 17:46:35 +0000 UTC
This sounds fun. I have a great idea and 0% confidence in my ability to make it happen lol. New painter so this will be my first time doing anything someone else will see.
Travis Taylor

Well I understand that having a burst of visibility through Instagram with tons of the same model is not nor fun nor attractive for pple . Maybe having like a model fix (I'm size as well) of the current month for all, plus a one that is free of choice and doesn't bother the date of painting could lead to more fair and easier to judge model, and brings you lots of diversity of the other one (but could need more time as well)
Speaking only for myself, it's a hobby, I don't sell nor the print nor painted models, and because of my other activities, I don't have to much time (and I'm way under dad that could do diorama through the weekend ;) )

Question, how do we know if its an older model, that it's not painted from longtime ago, with some pics of it? Shouldn't it be more fair to have one singular model from this month for exemple so everyone could get the same chance and start the projet from scratch? Sounds more fair to me

Yes, you can add static grass, water effects, and flocking to the base. Feel free to get creative!
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-18 19:38:00 +0000 UTC
You're free to paint it however you like! Any color schemes are fine
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-18 19:36:06 +0000 UTC
Odd question, but can we add static grass, water effects, and flocking to the base ? Or is it just painting?
Beezelbub
2024-05-18 18:51:32 +0000 UTC
Does it have to be the colors shown in the render or can we do any colors
Zachary Macdavid
2024-05-18 17:15:16 +0000 UTC
Sorry, this time we want to focus everything in just one place, Instagram was chosen
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-18 14:27:34 +0000 UTC
just instagram
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-18 14:26:25 +0000 UTC
If we don't have Instagram, is there another platform we can post on? Discord maybe?

Fuck sakes nothing like having Dad judge your performance. This is going to be my first crack at painting and I have that feeling in my gut like when I was caught at 11 coming out of the bathroom with my dads playboy.

The model can be printed in any scale you prefer. All sizes are permitted.
Carlos Eduardo
2024-05-17 19:28:58 +0000 UTC
Awesome guys! 😊 I have 2 questions:
- can I participate?
- what scale should the model be printed?
Thank youuuuu 😉
