A hedgehog’s hut, a badger’s burrow, and a lark’s loft all have one thing in common: they’re woodland hideaways. This week we challenge you to imagine a creature’s woodland hideaway and create it in 3D. Keep your entry under 50k triangles and tag it #WoodlandHideawayChallenge to enter.

UPDATE: Winner – The Woodland Pumpkin Encounter by VanillaBurp

• Use your favorite software and workflow to create a woodland creature’s hideaway.
• Stay under 50k triangles, keeping in mind that quads and n-Gons are converted to triangles in the Sketchfab viewer.
• If you base your entry on existing concept art, be sure to ask permission from the concept artist, credit them, and link back to their work. We also encourage you to split your prize with them, if you win.
• Submit only new work, but feel free to submit multiple entries.
