This is the official A & M Art Fight scoring guide for 3D works, defined as works of art made in digital 3D space. For Voxels and Minecraft builds, refer to Craft Work instead. Animation Add-ons are extra points given to any work with partial or fully moving parts. If your work has any movement in it, please consult the Animation Add-ons guide as well.
We have guides for specific 3D mediums. To find which guide you should use, check if your work falls under the descriptions and click on the medium that applies. If none of the mediums work or you are unsure which medium/subcategory fits your attack, contact a moderator for help.
NOTE: These guides are better viewed on desktop rather than mobile.
