“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.”
Pure.
I couldn’t be bothered to model an entire mall or a Rolling Giant, so I just went with something simpler.
I know the scales are off and it’s probably not scientifically accurate, but it’s pretty!
I wanted to depict humanity both destroying, but also witnessing this ancient view. Does a view exist if nobody sees it?
Open - mostly new stuff but the terrain is based on NASA data (with added procedural detail), the workers’ spacesuits are a heavily modified version of Blender’s female base mesh, rigged using Mixamo, the Earth and lens flare are from an earlier projects, the cranes are from Blenderkit by MapacheDRelease.
All of the buildings are based on a single module, the one being carried by the crane.
If I had time I’d have added a 3D printer and cement mixer to explain how the building modules are made, but sadly the deadline approaches too quickly.
Nerd facts: the Sun and Earth are the correct sizes viewed from the Moon, but the moon terrain is a scan of a crater which should be 100 times larger than the scale I’m using. I shrank it down because the scan just didn’t have enough detail for a scene at this size.
(but yes)
