Throughout all of "Unreal Days," ArtStation will highlight the Unreal Engine channel on ArtStation’s homepage. These works will also be promoted on other parts of the site and on ArtStation's official social media.
The Unreal Engine channel enables you to scroll endlessly through stunning artwork created in Unreal Engine, Twinmotion, or Quixel Megascans. You can add your own art to to it by selecting any one of the three software from your portfolio manager when you upload or edit a project.

ArtStation Supports Its 3D Student Artists
If you're an ArtStation user as well as a post-secondary student learning Unreal Engine, Twinmotion, or Quixel Megascans, the website suggests tagging your art with #UnrealStudent.
You can then connect with other students on ArtStation, and make your work easier to find for employers that are looking to hire fresh graduates.
Additionally, Artstation and Epic Games will be giving away a handful of $25 ArtStation gift cards to randomly selected artists that post in the #UnrealStudent channel. Gift cards can be spent on premium resources and tutorials on the ArtStation Marketplace.
