“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
Btw.: Comments are welcome in both threads (entries/voting). Have fun!
Sure - however, if multiple images are submitted, only the most recent one will be used for voting. I’ll add the other images to the non competing entries, though.
Oh… At first I thought I would do moon, or a heart shaped locket may be or a fruit… And then it occurred to me that an avocado was quicker to make (also my kids won’t let me do much so…hehe)
Usually if I use anything outside of blender I call it open, but I could call it pure to because technically when you bring something into blender it’s part of blender.
Makehuman is kind of in and out of blender for me, because it’s not makehuman when I export it as a dae so when I import it it becomes blender then I use it for sculpting or shader testing.
Not necessarily. For me, it depends on the scene and on how much the HDRI contributes to the final image. If the image consists of nothing but the HDRI, calling it pure would feel a little awkward. If it is just providing some lighting/background and everything else has been built in blender and for the challenge - entering the image in the pure category probably will not hurt anyone.
But as @Midnightcpu wrote: You are free to choose. If it feels right, it probably is.
When I was going to enter a short film contest I was trying to go by the rules here in the WC and I started thinking " wait a minute there are no rules on animating outside of the WC. !?" 🤷
Pure entry. Blender 2.8, Cycles 256 samples+denoising, procedural textures, lighting with HDRI from HDRIhaven.com, color correction and effects done with GIMP.
