Xtreme Survival 2D & 3D Challenge
Sponsored by Ring of Elysium
Feb 1 – EXTENDED TO Mar 22, 2019
Welcome to Europa Island, where it’s kill or be killed in a battle royale. And it’s not just people trying to kill you - the volcanic island is also a deathtrap. But there is one escape helicopter left - with only 4 seats. Can you outrun the volcano, outshoot the competition, and escape the island before it’s too late??
Xtreme Survival is your only chance! And you’re going to need to use your special BMX, grapple hook, or hang glider skills to get out of this mess. So show us your best final 2D & 3D designs (and 4 WIPs) for a chance to win a new gaming laptop, graphics cards, and CGMA online classes! And, of course, to escape the island alive.
