Challenge #876 "Crop Circles" (03/04/20) Entries CLOSED

“Cosmic Crop Dusting”
Competing, Pure, Cycles, 128 Samples, De-noising, Color correction


I still need to wrap my head around color palettes, so I can have some intention in my color schemes. This turned out okay, I think, but it was a little haphazard, and the color correction helped a lot.

No image of badly cropped circles? I’m disappointed. :stuck_out_tongue:

So they do have 5 fingers :slight_smile:
Cool render, i like the idea.

Thats the first thing i thought when the thread was started.

Pure submission.

Hey y’all. I just started using blender recently and this was my first go at creating a whole scene, so go easy on me haha. I struggled with the figuring out lighting with volumetric shading, which I think caused those red spots where headlights are supposed to be. Unfortunately I am kind of out of time, so this is the last render I can get done. If anyone has any tips on lighting a night scene with volumetric shading, that’d be awesome!

Welcome @zest! I started blender a few years ago and posted here too. These challenges are a great way to share and learn.

Sorry about that - and thanks a lot. :slight_smile:

Who would haved thought? And it doesn’t even seem to be dangerous. Looke like FlyingBanana isn’t in any read danger. :slight_smile:

That is a great idea. I wasn’t aware of corn earworms. Not sure if i’ll find the time but it would be a great addition. :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot. :slight_smile:

  • Who left the Message…
    Pure: Rendered in Eevee, took 5-6 hours to make, not counting render time. The grass strips of the field was a downloaded texture. The “crop circles” where images i made in Gimp and converted into Normal maps then applied with a normal node. Along with the Normals made in Gimp, there was also duplicits made which where colored (brown) then added into the grass texture (Base Color) with a mix node and also into the Subsurface Color input.

[EDIT]
Heres one of the Normals and a brown…

How can you call it pure if you used gimp?
does it work that way?

Great anyway.

This can by tricky. :slight_smile:

Ahh… i don’t know how it works :slight_smile:
Figured i made everything (aside from the grass) and most was made and created in Blender along with animated, so it was pure… No matter what its classified as, it was fun to make and also has no chance of winning :wink:
Thanks, glad you liked it.

I’m having some trouble with the final render. I beg you to gimme a couple of minutes

I can give you about half an hour. It is already 1AM around here and I’ll have to get up rather early tomorrow/today morning. :wink:

The Speculative Crop Field of the Fallen Megatron Crown

Pure entry

Cycles render

There seems to be a problem with the image preview. I guess that is because of the image being hosted on a google drive server. You can paste the image into the post directly from the clipboard. That way it will be hosted on the Blenderartists server.

[edit: seems to be working just fine in the voting thread.]

Good night everyone. :slight_smile:
