Challenge #903 "Flight" (09/10/20) Entries CLOSED

SuzannaFly

Pure entry, Cycles render, 64 samples & compositor denoising in 2p91p0 alpha (latest build). Composition is Rule of Thirds (although I think some Golden Triangles snuck in there), 8x5 aspect ratio. Used the Nishita Sky Texture node and Sapling Tree Gen, one of Blender’s included Addons. Things I did for this that I’ve never done in Blender before: Modeled an insectoid compound eye from subdivided cubes arranged via an icosphere and a particle system. And I finally got decent volumetric clouds! Tutorial here, although I found it a bit difficult to understand, it worked! Then I blurred 'em in the compositor, but they were nice.

Had to get this done early, busy weekend. Yes, the wings are made from Suzanne’s ears.
