“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 and will be featured in the Feature Row.”
Dive
Pure, cycles, 32 samples, toon shader, optix denoiser, rendertime <1min., all made in blender, tried to water color it in krita but my skills lack there so just a simple coloring in blender which is simple but makes a point.
Even for ‘pure’ entries, using a background image is fine as long as it isn’t the main focus of the image. It wouldn’t be fair to just enter a photo. (For ‘open’ images, this doesn’t matter at all.)
I tried to map the place as accurately as possible but due to lack of time I couldn’t do it.
Cycles 2000s + some post production with Gimp.
OPEN because i have reused some parts of a skydiver used in one of previous challenges.
Hey! Welcome back.
If you are going to relearn everything, this might be a good opportunity for switching to Blender 3.3 (if your hardware supports it).
Unfortunately I am still using the same 15 year old Computer I was before, so anything 2.70 and beyond is out of the question for now.
Huggies,
My human canonball was my third idea. I started with a high dive, then a Hot Wheels stunt track but quickly realized I need something basic until I get my chops back.
Surprisingly, now that my daughter just left for college I find I have more free time than I used to.
