Actually, the use of textures and its effect on the pure/open categories has never been specified. Because of this, the decision is left to the creator. (As that is the only one who really knows how the entry image was created.)
From the rules:'If you can honestly say to yourself,
- “Yes, I mainly used Blender to make this.” - “Yes, nearly all of the foreground models are new.” - “Yes, most of the models are new.”
,then the entry is Pure.’
For example, based on this, I’d personally consider @FlyingBanana’s entry pure. But, it is a personal decision and as it has been entered as an open entry, so I’ll just go with that.
Once the deadline has been reached, if a category hasn’t been specified, I’ll just consider the entry pure when creating the voting thread on Monday night.
I saw that FlyingBanana work has image textures on eyes, so it’s entered as open. As it is, for this week competition, than my work must be open even more, becuse images that I’ve used are center of image. Blender modeling and texturing that I’ve done is just a background.
So, than my work must be open too.
@s.haris I am a bit picky and honest about my own personal entries I do and their category I enter them under. I know most would consider an entry like mine pure but being I did leave blender to find eye textures even if free I still left blender to do so. That is my reasoning behind open entry. If I was just using reference images I would have went pure as the reference image doesn’t get rendered.
Does not matter much, since the main reason I subbmited image was to get in touch with people who love Blender and to get some motivation to do something and both was already done.
But I start to understand this principles better. But anyway in this work I was forced Blender to “pretend it’s Gimp”. All other works have much more modeling, modifiers, … as I can see. Mine work seems almost like photomanipulation. But Theme was such and it inspired me in that direction.
Originally I intended to have a washing machine involved, but I had too much fun (struggle) with the cloth simulator. Thus, I ran out of time and ended up with something simpler.
