Paint your Easter Eggs in 3D and Win a Full Color 3D Print by Shapeways!

Easter Eggs 2015 Contest by Bart on Sketchfab

Our yearly Easter Eggs Painting challenge is turning into a proper tradition! For the third time we’re inviting you to put down your high-end 3D tools for a bit and have some fun decorating digital eggs.

And once again Shapeways is generous enough to send a dozen winners (we’re talking eggs, after all) a gorgeous 3D printed version of their work, made with their new Coated Full Color Sandstone. Curious what they’ll look like? Check out these pictures from last year’s winners.

You don’t need to be an experienced 3D designer to enter this contest – just visit our Egg Painter, paint on the egg with your mouse and save the model to your Sketchfab account. That’s all! And you can enter as many times as you like (which is better than with real eggs – you have to eat all those, eventually).

How to enter

• Visit our Egg Painter. Use your left mouse button to paint on the egg, and click and hold your right mouse button to look around your egg and reach other parts.
• While painting, you can select different brush sizes and colors with the Radius, Intensity and Color options.
• When your egg is ready, click the ‘Publish to Sketchfab’ button and log in to your Sketchfab account (you can create one at this point too). It will automatically be tagged with #Easter2016.
• Get your model in before Wednesday March 30th 2016 at 11:59pm GMT.
• Prize: Coated Full Color Sandstone 3D Print by Shapeways, delivered to your home.
