In Motion – Animation Contest by Textures.com
Dear friends,
We’re excited to announce a new contest — In Motion. This challenge is dedicated entirely to architectural animation in short clips.
Capturing the scale, mood, and atmosphere of a project in just 10–15 seconds is a serious creative and technical challenge. Whether it's a smooth cinematic camera sweep, dynamic lighting changes, or architectural transformation, we want to see how movement brings spaces to life.
Submit your short animation between September 14 and September 25, 2026. Winners will be announced on September 30, 2026.
The winners will share a prize pool of 8,500 credits in prizes on Textures.com, the leading resource for 3D artists and designers.
Show us your vision in motion.
