Duet

And here is a little extra:

For this weekend’s challenge you are encouraged to collaborate with someone else on an entry. It can be someone from the forum, a friend, someone from your family, or whoever. This is also a great way to get someone involved in Blender or help someone learn more about Blender.
Of course, you’re also welcome to participate without a collaborator, but this is a unique opportunity for this weekend’s challenge. :slight_smile:

If you find the time to collaborate with someone else on your entry, just mention them in the entries description. It will be fun to see what everybody comes up with!

So my 8 year old son came up with the idea for having a collaborative contest theme so I’ll be working with him on our non-competing entry. The other thing to keep in mind is that Duet doesn’t have to be about music. You could think of it as “pair”, “double”, etc.

What a lovely theme idea!

Congratz for the win,

as i read this post i get an idea for that in mind, the last contest winner creates a simple background as theme, and 2 randomly choosen participants have to create a model for the background, each one for one side on the background without communicate an know what the other is doing. :smiley:

My first thought for “Duet” was:

Great cover but not for a model contest :D, i guess i have to choose something else.

Hm, maybe just a glass wine and some spors on a old wooden table…

The new theme almost reminds me of my entry. Am I onto something :wink:

Duet.blend (2.0 MB)

in case anyone wants to do anything with it.

Duet of wine
Open, cycles 128 samples, rendertime ~3sec., composition in blender to fit render to scene, no post processing. Used fspy to get the camera right.
Who needs an AI to fake something if you have blender :smiley:

Unfortunately was not able to get a higher resolution screenshot of the video scene, if someone has one i would appreciate of a source and render this in an higher resolution.

Title: Troublesome Duet.
Open: render in CicleX 1024 samples. You all know Vincent …

This week’s topic seemed really difficult to me, but when I managed to get Vincent to drink some Italian wine it became child’s play!
He began to sing and with the reflected image formed a troublesome duet.
P.S. for those who speak Italian there is a second hidden dueT …

Live at the Eden Tower

Open entry, 1000 samples. I took the scene from Party Like it is 1999 :: A Night at the Tower (franciscocharrua.com), and added 2 copies of the singer in Nostalgic :: Those Were the Days (franciscocharrua.com). Was a big week at work, I was so tired I spent all of my Saturday sleeping.

Here is our open non-competing entry.
Title: Piano and Frog duet
My 8 year old son made the lily pad and flower and we developed the scene together. Thanks @fcharr for the model, which made posing the hands easy. We also used Joesan’s frog model from blendswap.
