Challenge #1006 "Long shadows" (30/09/22) Entries CLOSED

Sunrise on the Power Platform

Pure, Cycles 1024s, Blender 3.3, 825k triangles

The platform is based on an idea I’ve had for a while but never got around to making it in blender. This challenge gave me the perfect excuse to make it. The platform fits into a yet-to-be-modeled abandoned sky empire, along with the Marketplace and several other structures.

Making the damaged look took a lot of geometry nodes, but I’m quite happy with it. The rubble on the platform is a combination of geometry nodes and the rock generator. The cloud generator is a modified asset from other weekend challenges. The depth-of-field is faked in the compositor. The platform’s material has more detail than shown in the final render.

Wait a minute… Who’s monkeying around with that meteor?!
