It’s scene of beach life on another world designed and rendered completely in Blender.

Great work everyone!

note to the one that will win: Plz choose a subject like War of the Machine, or Rise of the Machine…or simply Terminator :smiley: That would be grreat :smiley: lol

I tried to enter this week but I had to format the harddrive and then my isp crapped out…I agree with x-warrior, definately terminator :smiley: .
btw I voted for tordat 8)

Everyone,
Be sure to check out the full image, the small version doesn’t do this entry justice.
Surgeon,
You get my vote. Not only great blender technique, but nice camera angle and nice lighting for mood and effect.
The textures are great. Love to know your technique for the ebb effect on the beach and the wave foam in the background.

My vote went to DreamMaster. Nicely done reflections and great modelling of the water along with the background. The image reminded me of Carl Sagan’s documentary “shores of the cosmic ocean” from Cosmos. Great work!

The Ebb is a regular cloud texture, tretched out close to the wave.

The clounds are star particles, many closer to the foreground, fewer the more towardss the background. very close to 0 alpha. Motion Blurred.

Winner: DreamMaster with 47%!

Congrats!

Martin

tordat,

I really like your entry, peaceful, deserted, and almost photorealistic. Did you do the texture of water yourself, or it is a procedural?

(and, sorry to say this, I am glad you didn’t have time to add “some violence” to this :))

Anton42,

thanks a lot [!] :smiley:

The water is a streched 3D mesh made with S68’s Blender World Forge script.
The texture consists of an 5x5 repeated image texture (also used as bump) and two blend Lin textures perpendicular to each other for the alpha channel. The main part of the color comes from the underlaying mesh (beach) with an image texture.
For tweaking the settings I spend the double of the time then for the rest of the model. (still not completaly happy)

here is how it looks without the image texture for the water

Violence:
I had a more subtile violence in mind to break the silence a bit.
There was no intention to add robots, laser guns, explosions, and stuff like this.

Thanks again

Tordat
