Okay, I must admit I missed this one altogether. Apparently, Obsidian had commissioned a Custom Model Contest sometime in November… (I figured it was right around the time I was preoccupied with The Witcher). Anyway, for posterity sake, you can still view (and download) the custom models submitted for the contest here.

The original announcement said:

This contest is primarily for modelers. Participants can submit a single entry into each of the following categories (total of 6 entries allowed per participant):

• Creature/Monster (requires animations)
• Weapons
• Buildings (can have animations if you like, such as a swinging sign or shutters, but doesn’t have to)
• Placeables (can have animations, but do not have to)
• Clothing/Armor
• Props & Miscellaneous (equipable items that don’t fit into any specific category – such as books and bouquets of flowers)

The best news from this contest is that you can already download these contents and use them in your mod! My favorite submission has got to be the celestial plate (armor) by Byterunner!
