The of this challenge is to brush off your modeling skills and be creative! We have partnered up with material artist Ezequiel Delaney to give you a head start. The challenge is split up into two paths, feel free to choose either: A, for a prompt based daily modelling challenge. B, for a 14-step diorama challenge. We encourage you to post progress regularly in the dedicated channel. Let the community help and celebrate your work! If some of the steps confuse you, don’t fret!

30 Day Modeling Challenge

Revealed to your immediate right is the official Dinusty Cardboard Boxtober promps of 2024! 🎊🥳🎉🎃

The list provides you with 30 daily, or weekly (see more info below) ideas to fill your entire calendar!

Imagine the world as though it was made out of cardboard. How detailed or simplified can you make it? Where will you cut the paper to achieve the right angle? Why does the model suddenly look like UV-unwrapping in real life?

With these prompts we want you to see the world in a different way. How an ordinary object suddenly feels so different with the simple change of a material.

A Challenge with a twist! 👇

Feel like taking the challenge outside the realm of CG? Get creative and make your creation with real life cardboard! Will it serve as an insight in how to make it in 3d? Or will you create beauty renders with a camera and a spotlight on your kitchen table?

Challenge the challenge! 👇

Now that you’ve made it in real life — reverse the system, scan your creation and bring it onto your computer into 3d!

The example images below are from a project Miriam Dufrier did prior to Dintober to explain the steps. Read by column. We hope you find them useful!

In the mood for an extra challenge?

Can you imagine the same project after years of use? Would the environment still be in pristine quality, or made worn and dirty by nature through rain, mud, and people walking by?

Helpful tip, limit yourself to a confined space. Such as a diorama, or a certain point-of-view. Start small, and you have the privilege to expand once you know your scope.

Good luck and have fun! It’s always interesting to see everyone’s approach and creativity and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
