“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.”
Please remember to state if your entry is pure, open or non-competing.
For details please check out the: CHALLENGE RULES
For new members: if your entry/post doesn’t show up right away, that might be due to blenderartist’s auto-moderation feature. Your post will show up eventually. However, this can take some time (hours). So, if you are close to the deadline and your entry is caught by moderation, just send me a PM including a link to the image. I’ll try to add it manually.
Btw.: Comments are welcome in both threads (entries/voting). Have fun!
I previously built the P-51 model several years ago. It is actually one of my very first models from when I started blender. The mesh is a complete and total mess but it works for this and cnc models.There are 8 cloud layers and trying to get them to play nice with each other and the plane was a struggle. After many, many hours of tweaking, resizing, and moving around and dozens of test renders I got something that was close to what I wanted. I still had to post process (morph) the clouds to get the look I wanted.
Post processed with Paintshop Pro: vignette, edge enhancement, contrast, and cloud morphs to get the feel I wanted.
Ok wow, in a case of thematic crossover I never spent the necessary time studying Millani’s winning entry last week; I believed that the spaceman, who is facing screen right, was actually a penguin facing left. It is an awesome entry and congrats Millani, although I will be honest, you lose points for not using a penguin.
Well if I come up with something else then I will post something but for the time being I will probably just be sitting this one out. Look forward to seeing others entries.
