Yep pure is you can say that anyone using blender alone could recreate it.

That’s a lot more concise than what I posted, nice!

@FlyingBanana

Textures add-ons and such that are free for all would fall under pure, now if you used substance painter or hardops or kitops that are paid addons then I would classify that as an open entry.

Sorry to disagree (you’ve been at this longer than I have), but there are plenty of free-for-all add-ons and resources that aren’t from Blender or made in the contest timeframe – they’re not open, are they? Or is, say, the MB-Lab add-on open? (That’d be a game-changer!)

@FlyingBanana

Now using photogramatry (projection from an image onto an object) that is kind of a grey area as you didn’t actually model all the details in that image on the object, just projected it onto the object.

I’d say it’s not pure because it used other software/equipment – even if just a cellphone with a photogrammetry app.

@FlyingBanana

If that object is not a center of focal point then you could possibly say pure but for the most part that would be an open entry.

This I’d love to agree with! Something like “the main point of an image needs to be pure for the image to be pure” is something I wanted to include in my post, but I found nothing even implying that in the rules post.
