Students, get ready to show off your creative prowess with the RTX Student Summer Showcase! This summer, NVIDIA is inviting you to test your VFX skills on GeForce RTX using Unreal Engine 5, with the chance to take home some incredible prizes.
The creator of the winning piece will snag the new ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 OLED with GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU to supercharge their creative arsenal.
There are also two ASUS Vivobook Pro 16 OLED with GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPUs up for grabs, as two runner-up submissions will be chosen alongside the winning scene.
NVIDIA Studio laptops are the ultimate creative tools for accelerating your creative ideas. Supported by the NVIDIA Studio platform, these laptops deliver the ultimate performance thanks to dedicated Ray Tracing Cores, A.I. Tensor Cores and an AV1 hardware encoder, and give you the means, knowledge, and know-how to enhance your workflow and help you realise your most ambitious projects yet. Combined with Studio Drivers, NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Broadcast work together to give you unmatched power and efficiency in sleek and elegant designs.
With the RTX Student Summer Showcase, we are inviting students from across the UK to create a stunning 30-second VFX scene using GeForce RTX hardware that captures the essence of summer and the “Summer Holidays”, using Unreal Engine 5. Whether it’s a futuristic vista lit by a sweltering sun or a beachside scene with mesmerising water effects, let your imagination run wild. Push the boundaries of creativity and showcase your artistic skills.
Any student enrolled in a UK-based university can take part in this fantastic opportunity to showcase their creativity.
Craft your 30-second entry using Unreal Engine 5 and draw inspiration from the vibrant theme of ‘summer’ and the ‘Summer Holidays’. Gain an edge over the competition by including real-time ray tracing in your creation for a richer experience.
The deadline for submission is September 17th, 2023, and you can share your final render to social media by tagging @NVIDIAStudio and @NVIDIAGeForceUK with #RTXSummerShowcase.
