Result of the weekly render challenge on the BForArtists Discord server
The theme was “Splashscreen” in preparation for their custom build of Blender 5.2.
After the initial 1 hour challenge I spent 3 more hours adjusting it to what I probably had in mind originally.
That’s the fun part about doing a challenge like this; the 1 hour time restriction pushes you to just create and during that time the concept starts forming more clearly in your mind!
In the end I went with a sort of 70’s retro futuristic style with smoother shapes and dull yellow tones for the ship.

The float curve node is used to create separation in the groupings of rings
