Sketchfab "GDC Beer Bust" Challenge

This week we’re turning our attention to Beer Steins! Inspired by the popularity of the custom mason jars we commissioned for the happy hour we hosted with Allegorithmic at last year’s Games Developer Conference (GDC), we want you to model your very own beer stein – the kind of thing a champion would drink from in a bar.

This year we’ve teamed up with HP who are providing HP Z 3D Cameras and Allegorithmic who are providing a full year of Substance Indie for TWO lucky winners! We’ll also showcase your work at this years GDC happy hour! If you’re attending the conference, you can RSVP here.

TL;DR: Design and model your own Beer Stein, upload it to Sketchfab and tag it #GDCBeerbustChallenge.

Bonus: If you upload using Substance Painter, we’ll gift you a free month of Sketchfab pro. =)
