Like everyone else, our hearts were broken when we heard that Daft Punk was disbanding. So this month our challenge is a tribute to the innovative nature of Daft Punk and their music. Create something that would fit in their futuristic, electronic, holographic universe, upload it to Sketchfab, and tag it #DaftPunkUniverseChallenge.
