Title: The End
pure
Please remember to state if your entry is pure, open or non-competing.
“There are two main goals for these contests: Fun and Glory.
Fun: You get only 4 days to create a cool image, based on the theme for the week.
Glory: After 2 days of voting, a winner is declared. The winner picks the theme for next week.”
I copy and paste like every time between “XXX” and smashed it in to google… and i started my pure entry… except the texture but you will don’t notice it
after I finished some things I came back to see some arts from the competitors
and I noticed the snails… I scrolled up… and I saw this link Oo well… it is to late xd I have a dead leaf now !
Tho I’m too busy to make a proper entry this time, please accept this old project as a token of appreciation to all the world’s snails.
(non competing, obviously)
Pure entry, cycles render, 32 samples & compositor denoising in 2.92.0. Rule of Thirds composition, 8x5 aspect ratio, 35mm focal length, roughly square hue palette. All materials made in Blender (most procedural, one map rendered in 2.93 beta with Geometry Nodes), environment is Blender’s Nishita Sky Texture node. Thing I did for this that I’ve never done in Blender before: modeled flowers.
WiP, but I’m not sure if I’ll get anymore done before the deadline, so here’s what I’ve done so far just in case.
Edited to add: now with snails!
Edited again to add: Hung some branches for shadowcasting and made more flowers. Compositing in GIMP. Done!
The poem has been changed.
The first line is now À l’enterrement d’une feuille morte . . . “The funeral of a dead leaf”
The title is Chanson des Escargots qui vont à l’enterrement . . . “Song of the Snails going to the funeral”
Probably too late for the Challenge
But just in time for anyone to read or re-read this wonderful poem
New species of snail discovered. A new subspecies of the vineyard snail has appeared in Germany. The beer snail. Researchers suspect that these snails survived from beer traps. Beer traps are a widely used trap for removing snails from gardens. But some snails have survived these traps and come to love beer. Now this new species is mainly found in beer gardens. We recently received a photo from a photographer who fell asleep in the beer garden. When he woke up late in the evening, he was amazed to see snails feasting on the remains of his beer. Fortunately, he had his camera with him.
Update:
These snails are already known in some beer gardens. These are said to go very well with beer when fried and are a delicacy in some places. Animal rights activists are sounding the alarm and feared extinction and have gone to court. They target a hunting ban for the autumn, where the main breeding time is.
Pure, cycles, rendertime ~21 min., 2048 samples, open denoiser, all made in blender, used an hdri image from hdrihaven. Cant get rid of the noise, even with NLM but open denoiser makes a better job. Did a white balance in gimp. My first render with a complete different format and camera focal.
