Welcome to week 1 of the Digital Universes Competition!

To kick off the competition and the first weekly challenge, we're providing you with a MASSIVE set of images for free! You don't have to use these images for your submission, but you'd be crazy not to!

Each week we'll be releasing a new set of images along with the weekly challenge briefing below. These weekly challenges are intended as exercises that challenge a specific technique such as grading, 3D integration or composition and are completely optional to compete in.
