Have so many ideas, no clue how to narrow these down.

You could sort them by the time it would take to finish the project. :slight_smile:

Open entry (flags are textures)
News Overdose

Finished! It’s probably WIP, I’m not sure yet, really done for today. Originally I wanted to fill the middle area as well, and there is no compositor yet. Well, two more days left, we’ll see!

Update:
Ok, couldn’t keep my hands out of the EEVEE toybox, so there is some bloom and DoF now :slight_smile: Also, changed font, and had some fun in compositor. This time I dared to dig into “Color Correction”-node, the one with the big grid of sliders. I love it!
Still not sure what to do with the left/right areas of the middle. I think I will keep it as is, though. Time to try an unusual composition.

Not calling dibs, just letting y’all know that I’m working on The Persistence of Suzanne .

Or I could combine them all into one scene and regret it later!

Make a moodbord that always helps to narrowed it down for me :slight_smile:

The Persistence of Suzanne

Open entry, Cycles render, 32 samples & compositor denoising in 2.90.0 beta. Composition is from the work this parodies (Dali’s The Persistence of Memory, a famous surrealist work), 33x24 aspect ratio, 70mm camera. Open because I included the Sutherland Team’s 1972 hand “scan” of a Volkswagen Beetle (download links) and the Stanford Bunny (res2) as two of the iconic 3D test models used. Can’t say I did anything for this that I’ve never done before, but using a cloth modifier to drape Suzanne (twice) was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.

Pretentious Morsel of Trife

Open enrty: 1000 samples. I was going to enter it as pure, but I had to ask meself: Can I create 3 master pieces in one sitting? Alas the answer to that question was a resounding nay. The textures were found somewhere in my collection of master pieces.
