FAQ

What software am I allowed to use?

You are allowed to utilize any software or applications you have access to or that we provide to create your project. However, the usage of any AI generative software or any software alike will restrict your project to only be judged for the AI category.

What do I need to bring?

All you need to bring is your laptop! The software that we use will be free or provided to you for the competition. Note that some of the software may not run well on older computers so we encourage you to check your computer specifications with the recommended specifications of some software we may be using such as blender.
