So it turns out pastel in Spanish means cake. So when I went to look up reference images I was quite surprised to see crayons.

It doesn’t mean crayons although I’m not surprised that’s what you found. When I think of pastel I think of colors with little saturation to them. Lighter colors. Maybe you should make a lightly colored cake? :smiley:

I’ve been wanting to play with this node group for a while and this seemed like the perfect time. I think it gives a really cool effect.

Here is my entry:
“Pastel de feira”
pure - cycles - blender 2.81


Ah, the pastel… one of the top 3 most beloved street foods of Brazil, it consists of a deep fried pastry with hundreds of different fillings to choose from. The most common ones are meat, cheese, and palmito (palm heart), but you can fill it with pretty much whatever you like, as banana, chocolate and chicken are also very common. There is one thing you should never put on a pastel tho (or pizza, for that matter): pineapple. Because on doing so, you will be the center of an diplomatic incident worse than any of the world wars.
As brazillian tradition goes, the Pastel must be consumed with “caldo de cana” ( basically sugar cane juice), but as the number of shader nodes on my caldo de cana started to creep dangerously over 50, I resorted to switch the drink for a nice cold beer.
if you want to know more about this tradition, here is a video on it:

it’s mostly on english, for your convenience :smile:

I don’t think I’m dong it this week.

Hello everyone!
So this is my final render for this week end challenge. I had a lot of fun doing it! (I made my friends laugh a lot!)
Pure cycles 200 samples

Banana Split Pastel Panic

EDIT : last post below
A pastel banana split panic is in the challenge :slight_smile:

This is my first WIP. I’m pretty happy with the result of the ice cream but I’m not able to figure out how to do a procedural banana material… (in cycles). For the moment, it’s only vertex paint. If anyone has an idea I’m open to proposition!

Edit : (I used image textures finally)

Fantastic work! I’m sure you’ll figure something out, I love using procedurals for everything! There’s like infinite ways you can put them together thanks to the fact that you can alter their mapping coordinates with other procedurals!

Tulip Field
Pure, competing


Blender 2.81 Cycles, 256 samples.

A simple entry from me.
The tulips unexpectedly turned out looking pretty good. I was unsure at first, but the whole scene of many pastel colours just makes it so nice.

Entirely procedural, no textures used.
