Fox Renderfarm - Snowman Challenge

Fox Renderfarm - 3D Render Compeition

Lightmap is excited to be sponsoring this year's Fox Renderfarm 3D rendering competition.

What kind of look will he/she have, what adventures will he go through? Please use your 3D artworks to tell your snowman story!"

There are many prizes on offer, including HDR Light Studio Pro licenses for all 6 winners.
