3DModels.org’s 12th annual Car Render Challenge takes on the world of GTA VI: model your own car, build a scene around it and give the official alligator a starring role.
Entries close on 1 December, and for the first time there is a separate animation category.
Kstudio is giving four Project Manager licences to the winners.
Here’s where a tidy asset library earns its keep, from searching in your own language to finding models from a reference photo.
Learn how to prepare 3ds Max scenes for RebusFarm: find missing textures, repair broken asset links, process xRefs in batch and avoid failed render submissions.
Learn how to set up Project Manager for efficient team workflows with a shared MySQL or MariaDB database, consistent asset paths across all workstations, local or distributed asset libraries, flexible licence management, and straightforward migration from an existing SQLite catalogue.
A local AI engine analyses thousands of your models and textures and sorts them onto virtual shelves automatically — no manual tagging, no cloud, no subscription.
From there, colour search and perceptual colour matching let you find assets the way your eye sees them, smart OR/AND filters narrow huge libraries down in a click, and team colour labels keep everyone in sync on what’s approved, in review, or done.
Every artist keeps their own tags, catalogues and ratings, and nobody else ever sees them.
This guide fixes that: install MariaDB or MySQL step by step, create the account Project Manager needs, open the firewall, connect each workstation, and migrate an existing SQLite catalogue without rescanning the library.
Picture this: you’re racing against a deadline, and you know the perfect model is somewhere in your library of 10,000+ assets. But where? Three folders deep? Renamed last month? On the old hard drive?
Project Manager takes the hunting out of the job. Its local AI sorts your 3D models by type, style, brand and material. You describe what you need in plain words, in any of over 30 languages. And a model that’s almost right brings up its look-alikes from across the whole library. No subscription and no cloud: your assets never leave the studio. Here’s how it works, and why a concept artist behind Avatar, Transformers and Terminator has relied on it since 2012.
