“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.”
My first idea was two dragons fighting midair. One blasting fire and the other blasting some kind of ice breath, with the two colliding in the middle. But I thought that would take too long. Wanted to do something simpler. My “simpler” idea is taking longer than it probably would have to make the dragons!
Pure
Rock and sand textures from textures.com.
ANT landscape generated terrains.
(pure: consider that I didn’t model anything it is all ant landscapes)
Two hours. Needs improvement but I have no more time.
Where I live a high mountain sometimes still has snow in Spring when it is warm at lower altitude.
increased the detail of the dunes so there are more of them
made snow mountain a smaller area of the picture
place bare mountain between to imply distance and height of snow mountain
applied DOF
changed to vertical format
Since Winter and Summer are opposites I made contrast my theme. Hot and cold, light and dark, color and grey.
Mountain Shader Nodes
Material nodes for the mountain texture.
.
If you want to mix two images then connect the “mars” part to “B” on the mix node.
.
The color ramp controls the amount of snow and rock.
.
I guess great minds think alike.
The song that got stuck in my head is the title of my entry… with obligatory summer appearance in the picture. Frosty the Snowman♫
will think about it after work.
. Also, it does not matter if two entries are based on the same idea. Just go for it!
