Following the success of the community project: The Shed, the Poly Haven Blog has introduced a new theme: The Hidden Alley, which aims to create a library of free and open 3D assets with artists through this competition.
According to Poly Haven Blog, they want the participants to make props that would fit the alleyway theme. They will create an environment for these props to go in, and share all the assets openly on polyhaven.com, along with the final scene itself.
