Sketchfab Progressive Challenge, Round 2 REBOOT: Mythological Creature

Back to overview
We decided to restart this challenge and make it easier to enter: just download the retopologized model to get started!

Welcome to the Rebooted Round 2 of our first Progressive Challenge, a new type of challenge that draws on the many skills of our community members to take a model from idea to completion in four neat steps.

We learned the hard way that the community is not fond of retopologizing (understatement?). This time around, we would like you to download the already retopologized model by toomanydemons, and texture it. (Feel free to download the hi-res version if you want to do your own normal bakes etc.)

UPDATE: Winner – MythCreature Round 2: Arachne by Wiktoria Kubien

To read what the judges had to say about Wiktoria’s model, head over to the Forum!
