Brief
The rules are simple. Take your favorite Game under the C&C franchise and create either a completely new design, or a fan based representation of an existing unit. All designs must be of the C&C realm, so that includes the Tiberium universe, the Red alert universe and the Generals universe. Your design can be anything from a vehicle, sea going vessel, aircraft, Infantry/cyborg/story based character, to large drop ships as long as it ties in with C&C. There are few restrictions, only that it must be a unit or character. No Structures, however mobile buildings eg MCV remake, slave miner or something new you wish to make, are allowed but must be shown in it's mobile form. Also the unit must be made for an existing faction. Smaller non playable factions eg Forgotten, Cabal ect. Are acceptable.
Specifications
There is no restrictions on what modeling software you can use, However everything must be made completely from scratch. No importing existing meshes and modifying from there.
