Hey there, Shapelab community!

It’s the spooky season again, and the Shapelab Halloween Challenge is back! Submit your spookiest, scariest Halloween-themed artwork made in Shapelab, and win a 3D-printed version of your work! The challenge will take place on Shapelab’s Discord server. Make sure to join if you haven’t already!


1. Join Shapelab on Discord here: Shapelab Discord server

2. Sculpt something in the spirit of Halloween - it could be any kind of spooky scene, ghost, monster, zombie, or creature you’d like! You can use other programs for rendering, but your sculpting and painting should be done in Shapelab!

3. Submit your final artwork AND a screenshot or screen capture of you working on it in Shapelab on the #showcase channel on Discord. Make sure to indicate that it’s a submission for the challenge with the hashtag #shapelabhalloween

4. Deadline for submission: October 30th, 2022, end of the day (AoE).

5. We will decide the winner of the Shapelab Halloween challenge and announce it on October 31st, 2022! We will then get in touch with the winner, who will receive a high-quality 3D printed model of their work! 🤩
Please note that we might post your artwork on our own social media channels (mentioning the artist).


We can't wait to see what you come up with this year! See the winner from last year here: Shapelab Instagram

Psst! Choose the Halloween work environment in Shapelab to get in the Halloween mood! 🦇🕸️

Happy sculpting!

Hey Shapelab community,

We wanted to inform you of this fantastic project by Simon Clark, aka Topgunsi. He is an artist who creates realistic 3D models from insects to animals and, most importantly, dinosaurs! His workflow mainly comprises VR tools, and he uses Shapelab for most of the sculpting and painting process!

His biggest ongoing project is a life-size print of a T-rex skeleton, a massive 3D printing job, resulting in a 4-meter tall (about 13 ft) dinosaur!

He was recently featured in UploadVR; you can read the article and watch the interview conducted in his VRChat museums here: [previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Follow him on Instagram to learn more about the 3D printing process: Topgunsi's Instagram page
