3DVIA Challenge 19: Haunted House
Welcome back everyone to the 3DVIA Challenge! As we are in October, we just had to do a Haunted House Challenge! Design and create your own haunted house and create your own frightful scene using 3DVIA Scenes! Ask yourselves what makes that house down the block scary? Is it the creepy trees, the old architecture or those spooky gargoyles?! Shows us your scariest house!
The judges will award extra points for using 3DVIA Shape or creating a scene of your Haunted House using 3DVIA Scenes so we can all walk around it and feel the fright!
Come on and test your mettle against the best of our community for the chance at fame and fortune. Winners will receive all the acclaim of being own of our Challenge Champions, a special page we create with your winning entry, and a space on our newsletter, letting everyone know who the Champion is.
Are you the next Champion?

A chilling and very interesting challenge, especially for fans of the terror.
Does “Experiences” accepted ?
Are* ^^
I’m not going to say no to a fun experience :) I’m sure the other judges would agree!
Today it ends! Happy halloween and if you can take the time to look at my FairTrade scene: http://www.3dvia.com/scenes/424D6B784A5C6E40/the-dark-side-of-chocolate
I’m sorry, that the community is encouraged to participate.
The 3dvia Challenge is in transition :) In an effort to have more challenges and more agile challenges. There are some changes in the pipe that will help me relaunch the entire challenge program with profile rewards and community voting (finally returns!)
Perecat1 and Tomy’s models were both amazing, and I can’t bring myself to choose one or the other as the winner as you guys were the only challenge participants. The other participant was my boss!
SURPRISE :-). Very true, participation has been a failure. People are not encouraged. Should be encouraged, with some new formula. The more participation the more emotion. It’s true. I fondly recall my first challenge, my model was no big deal. I still present. The beauty of it all is involved with what you have. Better or worse, that’s funny. Participate. Compete. Relegate the decision to the community as you say. (It is only my opinion.) For that to happen, the community would be involved, and return to starting point. We must find the formula, a difficult task. Little by little.
If the changes we are going for can happen in the next week, we’ll have a really good formula to relaunch :)
I”ll keep you up to date :)
Genial :)
well both deserves to win for the big efort put in to the models
perecats is almost a hole story or tale in real horror
for my part i havent participatet in so many of these contests
to be honest has there been very few interesting subjects where i was interested in making a model of
(and i am not good to make something with a time limit)
but i would like to see a squirrel contest to awoken the squierrel feber that Tomy started with his squierrels
i just loved those small fury creatures
One sure way of increasing participation is bringing back I-Phone & I-Pod gifts… Not so long back we had them and we had good number of participants too… Just a thought :)
Community voting systems for the Challenges is also long due…
Warm regards,
Abu
