Somebody should do a Rocket Garden
(My brain is fried after watching starship flight 4 and I can’t think of anything else right now)

As long as your brain didn’t melt in hot plasma you’ll probably be fine. And even if it did melt a little, you’ll probably still be able to land (an entry). :slight_smile:

Totally… :upside_down_face: :sweat_smile:

Uuh, I finally figured out, how to follow a surface with my tree-building geometry node (see its first appearence in my cursed entry). And even make it thinner towards the twigs:

Originally, I only wanted to use it in the background, but it looks so cool, it might become the main character.

The details on the twigs are great! I’m excited to see what you make. :star_struck:

Glass Garden


Pure
I don’t know what this is and I don’t really like it, but I don’t know how to fix it. :thinking:

It’s a crystal garden! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I love how you did the main flower. :+1:
Edit: Don’t worry, I don’t think its really bad, and I like the glass textures.

‘A Trick Of The Light’


Pure, EEVEE render engine, Blender 4.0.2
Tree models, rock, and terrain texture by Polyhaven, ferns and grass by Graswald, original deer models from Sketchfab.

It’s a fantasy garden trail, so I’m pretty sure it belongs here. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Definitely not one of my best projects, and not created in my usual realistic style, but I’m pleased enough with it.
BTW: I created three other scenes before this one, I was so worried about what to make! Congrats to whoever wins, you deserve it!!

“Mysterious Crop Circle”


Open.
Used the Studio Garden HDRI from Studio Garden HDRI • Poly Haven.
The rest (3 objects) was made in the last half hour or so.

The plane was added to match the existing shadows on the HDRI.

This is amazing! The model blends so nicely with the HDRI! :star_struck: :+1:

Very cool. :clap::clap::clap:I have been thinking of attempting something like this in geometry nodes myself. It seemed truly non trivial though which made me avoid the subject. Awesome work! It would be really interesting to know how you did it.

I’m really happy with the shell and garden, but I definitely have to spend more work on water simulation :joy:
