Opened Rift (WIP)
The structure is a quaternion-fractal, created using volume within geom nodes. It suffers from the low volume resolution.
Uh, and there are lighting artefacts (black). Currently no idea how to fix them with that automatically generated geometry.

It’s a nice piece of abstract art.
One critique I can give is that the framing seems off. The water drop splash bit is not centered and it’s throwing me off.

Non-Competing (Open)
I had a photoscan of a friend’s head that was created with Meshroom from a while back, dropped it in Blender, gave it an emission shader and volume and built everything else around it.

This reminds me of my 1st ( or maybe second ) WC entry which was a spectral spaceship for the theme “ghost ship”.

“Missing: Sky Kitty”
pure, competing
(this is all I have so far)
Should my entry be open if I’m using the Suzanne head?

@Tachtian The change in perspective really makes a difference; it looks much better now. I also like the color choice more in the newer version.
@Modron The sim struggle was worth it. I’m in awe of the realism of this spectre.

Cool! How long has that been… or has it turned into a ‘ghost’ now, lol.
Nice crosshatch ‘shader’ on your ghastly entry, can’t imagine how dense the node jungle in it

Maybe this one?

However, #530 might very well have been the first time I entered something in this challenge.
Good times!

Don’t worry. Suzanne is part of Blender, so the entry remains pure.
