You can too! ✨

Hey! 👋Crash here :)

I wanted to talk about something I’ve been noticing over the past couple weeks, because it’s honestly been really special to watch.

When I first announced the competition…

A lot of people said they wouldn’t be able to participate.

Not because they didn’t care, but because they didn’t think they were “ready yet” or that they would be able to finish on time.

Then we did the first live-stream.

Instead of only seeing super polished characters from folks with 10 years of XP, people saw a mix of everything.

Different low-poly styles
Different skill levels
And even a few folks who straight up said this was the first 3D model they’d ever made

And after that… something changed.

Submissions started rolling in from people who hadn’t planned on entering at all.

I saw messages like “I wasn’t going to make anything, but after watching the stream I figured I’d just try.”

The same thing happened again after the second live-stream.

More people jumped in, not because they suddenly became experts, but because they realized they didn’t need to be.

They saw that you can make something simple in an evening or two and still be proud of it.

That’s how we ended up with around 150 submissions in just two weeks, which honestly still blows my mind.

The competition itself is officially over now!

But I still really recommend joining today’s live review session.

Just to watch, hang out, and maybe realize that you could make something too, if you wanted to.

For a lot of people, that realization ends up being the first step toward actually creating things regularly.

And sometimes it’s the start of something much bigger than they expected.

We’re going live TODAY at 1pm CST.

Here’s the stream link so you can keep it open or set a reminder:

Hope to see you there 💖

P.S.

I’ll also be announcing something really cool during the stream.

It’s something I’ve never done before, and if you’re there live, you’ll be one of the first to hear about it 👀✨
