Get ready to turn back the clock and revisit the craftsmanship of past centuries.

Back in Time: Antique Props Challenge will have you step into the golden age of design history and recreate an antique object into a stunning 3D game asset. Push your skills, impress our industry judges, and create a portfolio-worthy piece while competing for prizes that support your career.

THE BRIEF

Your objective is to model, texture, and render a game-ready antique asset. The asset must be based on a real antique dating from the 1800s to the mid-1920s. Choose any antique from the period; from Victorian furniture, an automobile, a weapon, or an everyday object, and faithfully capture its craftsmanship and character.
