Never say Blender can not do something, because in someway or another Blender can :heart: it’s just some mathematics


Made in Blender – This IS NOT my entry, btw

“The Procedural World”
>> Pure entry, Cycles 8 Samples (quite appropriate for an 8-Bit style render) and Compositor


Blender Artists don’t like pixel-art thumbnails, so, you can always click the image to see it better!


Somewhere, in another planet, another star take to the sky once more.


The whole scene was made using procedural textures on planes (except for the trees, which are a more complex geometry than a simple plane). The funny part is that this can be animated in a very realistic way and is extremely fast to render! - I took a similar approach that Traveller’s Tales made for Sonic R, which is alternate every scan line back and forth to get a softer and more colorful image (well, my image already have to many color levels, since it is 32bits, i even had to reduce the colors in composition to get a more realistic effect. Back then, the Sega Saturn didn’t have a wide color pallette to offer). All this ended up in a super messy composition, which looks like this :sweat_smile:

My goal this week was try to make a pixel-art style composition.


I can post the internal bits of the scene if you wanna see them :3 - Never stop learning!

No idea why my image is showing up as “bed time” the title is good morning… and I was definitely not awake working on this last night because I couldn’t sleep.

I was just about to say that i love that contradiction :sweat_smile:

But that’s not a problem for someone with an sufficient amount of serenity.

Tittle: Glass Babushkas

I used Gimp to create the UV map, but all other work was done in Blender.
Cycles 512 path tracing

I originally tried nesting the dolls, but I kept fighting the lighting (way too dark on the interior). This was the first time I ever really worked with nodes and am overall quite happy with the result/effort ratio.

Serene, pure entry, cycles and a tiny bit of post in paint.net.

Did you try to increase the number of transmission bounces? If you have too many transparent objects on top of each other, the inner ones may show black if you don’t raise the number of bounces.

Free Digger. Open.

Entry is Open, I think. Model and picture is super simple. Background and foreground are painted with transparency. Quiet and easy scene. Just Eevee. Almost no Blender 3D… exept rigging and animating :wink:

Hope you like it. Have a good day and stay safe, friends.

I just started re-rendering some of my other angles that were less flattering and this has helped out so much! Thank you!

No Blender 3D? Did you know that Blender is actually 4D? :sweat_smile::heart:
