Open entry, 1000 samples. The model was taken from last week’s entry, Scarlet :: Lady (franciscocharrua.com), one could call what I did to it, an upgrade. The clouds came from Aircraft and Air Vehicle :: Little Red Hover Car (franciscocharrua.com). More to come…

“Cetonia aurata”

non competing (pure), Cycles X (256 samples, adaptive sampling), Blender 3.0.0 alpha (cycles-x branch)

“Sara had to admit: the ‘transform’ button of ‘My First Rocket’ was kinda cool.”


(open: little Sara is an older model of me. The wood texture is from poliigon.)
alternative title: “my first rocket”.

The space station is pure. I finally gave geometry nodes a go and kitbashed some extensions on some primitives.

[Edited: The normals were wrong. so I had to redo it anyway. Fix some lightning and compositing as well. Added Laaaaaaasaars! :slight_smile: ]

Upgrade?

Pure - Blender 2.92 - Cycles, 512 samples, 1920x1080

Hello everyone! Although this is my first entry to a weekend challenge, I have followed them for a while and am always impressed by the artwork that is posted. I am still quite new to Blender (and art in general), so any comments, suggestions, or critiques would be welcome. Procedural material advice would be especially appreciated. Thank you!

A colorful bunch of upgrades:

Which one do you like best?

Oh no! I got fooled by the post’s time zone! I’m sorry I missed the deadline, but I worked on this my first scene in Blender for this contest. I should have converted GMT to PDT!

The submission is pure, but as I’ve missed the deadline, it’s non-competing. It’s all original, and rendered in Eevee.

Sorry to hear that. This happens from time to time. I just added your entry to the new thread as a non competing one. This way it still gets some visibility.
