The Christmas challenge is back! Building on last year's community Christmas tree, we're collaboratively making a little diorama to spread some joy and cheer

This month we're flexing our art fundamentals and capturing some of our previous props and environments in black and white to create some stunning renders.

What happen here? Why did they just abandon it?

To celebrate the upcoming workshop held by Jasmin on the 12th of September we're inviting you to explore stylized texture creation on your own and to apply some of the awesome things you will learn about in the talk.

We'll be relighting some of the most classic scenes and delving into how game lighting bridges the gap between art, tech and gameplay.

A garden that has become a living nightmare. What creations will you dream up with your team? This challenge is now finished

This tiny Japanese noodle shop in the historic district of Tokyo, can be the canvas of many inspirational art pieces, will you be one of the mind's behind the creations?

The buzz of people walking, trains stopping and going, the stale air... Artists will dive into these tunnels and try to recreate the for this month's challenge on the London Underground.

The next theme for the 3rd team challenge is "A Shady Rest Stop - An unscheduled break at a shady looking rest stop".

Two teams dive into a challenge to create a magical hideout from their own making. The teams will be given one week to prepare, get to know each other and then dive into the one month production of their chosen environment within the given theme of "Magical hideouts".

It was the first team challenge organized by Timothy Dries (owner of BE) and Lloyd James, joining 12 environment artists of varying styles and skill levels together and splitting them into two teams of 6, with one volunteer leader in each.

Let’s make some small props that can all be used in a Christmas tree, so that we can get together as a community and send out a nice message at the end of the year. More information can be found in the one pager down below.
