1 : Can I use the physique panel ? 2 : the game engine ?

Cool, I’ll enter, I was wondering, are we allowed to use an empty to like controle an array or texture?

Hi Guys
Since This would get really crowded, we’d prefer if you could ask your questions on the Blenderdiplom homepage blenderdiplom.com/index.php/blog/item/92-modifier-contest
@
Issanou: you can use physics if you don’t use it to deform objects.
@for_the_kingdome: you may use any object that doesnt get rendered.

I guess someone has to kick off proceedings!
IF I were to win I couldn’t come to the campus party.

One cylinder (6 vertices to create hexagon-prism… :D)
One grid
Two array modifiers

Here’s My Entry. Rendered in BI. No expectations but the ticket would be better with someone else, no use for them here.

My entry: Ice planet Hoth. I’m pretty sure that this isn’t what the planet “actually” looks like. Although it’s fictional anyway, hence I don’t care. The texture detail is quite amazing since everything is procedural. Rendered in BI. The modifier of choice (yes, only a single modifier): The displace modifier (pretty sure you wouldn’t have guessed that!).

The item of interest:


Edit: Just realized I actually used subsurf quite a bit as well. Oh well, I think it was obvious.

What about addons: sapling, landscape…?

these are mines.
2 variations on an abstract theme. Hope you enjoy!




And here’s how it looks wothout modifiers nor compositing:

Just a simple one, but I think you or anyone can develop the idea.

Grease Pencil and Skin Modifier.

  • Jimmy from Blender Sushi

One cube + 12(!) modifiers. Scene is rendered using Cycles.

If you think I just add modifiers till it looks nice you can check some of the videotutorials I’ve build over at www.blendbend.com
Most of them use Blender’s modifiers.
Sadly I wont be able to attend Campus Party cause I’ll be on my summer vacation during 1-28 Aug. I would love to but my wife would kill me. Lovely workshops, talks and Heart String Marionette by mr.M Dot, nice! My point is that if (I repeat IF) I win something it could only be the item from the blender e-store. I’ve also uploaded the final .blend file on Blendswap (as I usually do with my stuff). http://www.blendswap.com/blends/scenes/4-blenderdiplom/

Lovely challenge btw and good luck to us all!

And a picture from within Blender’s UI:

Here’s my work. I wanted to have something like when you use the ‘spin’ function, and I thought it would be fun to use Suzanne as starting mesh. So I used Suzanne and just add 4 modifiers including screw and cast to obtain this:
