Please remember to state if your entry is pure, open or non-competing.
“There are two main goals for these contests: Fun and Glory.
Fun: You get only 4 days to create a cool image, based on the theme for the week.
Glory: After 2 days of voting, a winner is declared. The winner picks the theme for next week.”
You mentioned in the rules that the entry should be as a message in the challenge thread. By message do you mean that I need to add my entry in comments??
It is that simple. Just reply right here, paste your entry image into the reply and add a category (pure/open/non-competing). A title and some info about the entry would be nice - but that is not mandatory.
You can find a lot of examples in previous entry threads - like this one:
Open entry, Cycles render, 128 samples & compositor denoising in 2.91.0. Composition is Rule of Thirds, 8x5 aspect ratio, 125mm focal length. Thing I did for this that I’ve never done in Blender before: modeled a spacesuit silhouette (starting from Suzanne, of course). And I don’t think I’ve ever gotten this finicky with the shadows – I’ve got two view layers just for getting some of the shadows deeper.
Open because the Earth graphic is from Wikipedia and I prepped it in GIMP.
Edited to add: had a bit more time, got better lighting and a few tweaks.
Pure competing entry Aerial Recon in the Mudlands
All done in EEVEE. 100% pure.
Originally, I had the sky a lot less desaturated, but I liked the look of having it stronger. It feels to me like it’s a sky that’s too beautiful, like something is very very wrong with the world and/or atmosphere.
This render shows a family watching a building explode atop of a broken building. Even though they are watching the world end, it is beautiful in it’s own way.
Spark of hope
Pure, cycles, 1024 samples, denoised, rendertime ~ 4min., all made in blender, textures painted in gimp, letter was written and distorted, used hair particles for the sand grain and a camera focus
inspired by the game “Wasteland” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_(video_game)
