Pixel Lab Unreal Contest Rules:
Note: this contest has to be completed in Unreal Engine! If you haven’t used it, this would be an awesome way to dig in and learn Unreal with a purpose in mind. Enjoy!
1. Take the included 5 types of assets: Splash, Portal, Fire, Explosion and Smoke Plumes.
FYI, The full product on our site has complete VDB animation sequences, but for this contest I’m giving you one of the frames from the animations for free.
2. Create a still render in Unreal using at least 3 out of the 5 assets. At least 3 of the 5 types must be in your render. You can use all five if you want though, it’s up to you!
3. E-mail your render to joren@thepixellab.net (send me the render and also any social media account you would like me to promote with your entry).
4. The deadline will be the end of December 15, 2023.
5. Check out our free VDB Shader and tutorial to jump start the process of using VDBs in Unreal and make it easier for you! Download free shader here: https://bit.ly/3tHdvMv
Our internal team of judges will look at all of the entries. We will pick the top three entries based on creativity/originality/design and we will announce the winners in January 2024. We will fulfill the prizes shortly after, although the graphics card will be determined by when we can get our hands on one if they are out of stock. If we can’t get one, or if you would prefer, we will offer a cash equivalent replacement.
Note 1: This artwork must be created for the contest. It cannot be a previous piece you have already created. No AI is allowed.
Note 2: If you want to purchase any of our products, and you end up winning, we will refund your purchase, so don’t worry about buying them if you want to.
Note 3: Please take some behind the scenes renders/screengrabs to send to me if you think of it. It would be awesome to see your process!
