Proxi, built in Unity Software, is a simulation game that allows players to build entire worlds from their personal memories. Gallium Artists is partnering with Unity to leverage the extensive pool of talent of the Unity Connect community to find a 3D artist to potentially help Gallium Artists create their next big game. In Proxi, memories are the building blocks of the world. They’re represented by piecing together 3D models to create different environments. In this Contest we are challenging you to create 3D art based on your own memories to enter the Contest, as described more fully below.
