We look at maps all the time, but it’s probably been a little while since you sat down with a globe. For this challenge, we want you to texture this globe model created by Sketchfab Master dark-minaz. To keep the playing field as even as possible, modifications to the geometry of the model are not allowed.

UPDATE: Winner – Globe Craft by LisHard

To see what the judges had to say about the model, check out the forum.

TL;DR: Texture this globe using your preferred workflow, upload it to Sketchfab, and tag it with #GlobeChallenge. Be sure to credit dark-minaz and link to his model.

Rules

• If you need to update the UV mapping, that’s ok.
• Changing scenery, adding props and extra geometry is NOT allowed in this challenge.
• Submit only new work, but feel free to submit multiple scenes.
• Once you’ve created your scene, upload it to Sketchfab, tag it #GlobeChallenge.
• Credit dark-minaz for his model in your model description, and add a link back to the original by adding this markdown code:
