“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.”
Didn’t really feel inspired by this theme. Was either going to be an armada of ships, or… an armada of spaceships. So just went with a bad Dad joke, instead.
All thrown together using downloaded models.
FYI: This is Ada from Resident Evil
Defenseless - The conglomerate fleet arrives to seize a peaceful planet, to exploit its resources and subjugate the people.
Pure - the people are downloaded 3D scans, and the shader on the ship is a heaviliy modified version of one I made a while ago. Everything else is new. There’s a LOT of geometry nodes: the height of the terrain, scattering the grass and flowers, adding boolean cuts to add extra detail to the edges of the spaceships, and generating the clusters of antennae on the ships.
Close up detail on the ships. The shader procedurally adjusts the texture coordinates to vary the number and some of the markings.
(edit: tweaked the aspect ratio to make better use of the resolution limits on this site, and I much prefer the composition like this! I love a happy accident like that.)
My idea was some paper folded boats floating down a stream, sailing into battle. It would have been an animation, with the boats bouncing and rolling around.
Here’s a screen shot of the stream the boats would have been floating down
I like how you managed to achieve a sense of variety and depth at the same time. The ships are not all packed together or all going the same way. That bit of randomness really makes it unique.
