Yikes! Two poll threads this week, since we have too many entries for the poll options! You may vote in both polls - The winner is the entrant with the highest result in either thread (ie. one winner, with the greatest number of votes). Ties will be resolved as per the rules.

NASA news:
This picture have been taken recently at 2200 GMT in the space by a undamaged station. Some South America and Middle-East have been evaluated.
— What NASA haven’t revealed that the earth is about to be facing the destruction unless they invent something extraordinary to defeat themselves… —
This picture is completely PURE entry.

Check out my entrie, the can took about 10 minutes to model. All other time was spent on texturing. The soda took forever to make it look good, it still doesn’t look as good as i would like. It was done completly in blender and textured in the gimp.

Here is my entry for this challenge. It was completly done in Blender. The textures for the earth I have from http://gw.marketingden.com/planets/earth.html.

My first entry
ok… this is a building in a storm getting hit by lightning and creating a fire…
this is a pure entry. All modelling is done in blender and textures are all procedural except for the walls of the building.
this is my first entry to the weekly competitions. I’ve been using blender for about three weeks now and the image took me about 1 and a half hours to create. This is not yet the final image and some feedback is extremely welcome. (i will probably get 0 votes but hey!! who cares. it was fun…).
ok…i updated my pic… added some puddles and put in a bit of blur…

This is some of the scariest destruction to think of right now !!!
This entry is pure.
This was done completely in Blender completely with particles, the only non-particle object is the ground. All textures are procedural and the only post process is a little motion blure on the shock wave in GIMP. There are around 50,000 particles in this image.

Can anyone hear me? America’s matter-antimatter engine has just blown up, sending out great waves of gamma rays, obliterating everything it touches.

Unlike nearly everyone else, I’m not trying to destroy the world…
Pure. Everything’s new, and apart from a 70 pixel bitmap, it’s 100% blender.
