Lots of great cities have sculpture parks – they’re wonderful places to walk around, enjoy the fresh air, and interact with unique, 3-dimensional pieces of art. Now it’s time to develop a Sketchfab VR sculpture park that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your living room, without sunscreen or walking shoes.
The beauty of a VR sculpture park is that you will be able to experiment with things like scale and physics in ways that you might not be able to in reality. Your model will be combined with others into a large park that can be explored using your favorite VR equipment.
Update – Winner Announced: First Person by plasticarm
TL;DR: Use your favorite modeling software to create a sculpture that looks great in VR, upload it to Sketchfab, tag it #VRSculptureParkChallenge and make it downloadable.
