“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.”
Good is probably better than fast.
However, we were planning to play it with the kids on New Year’s Eve, which was a lot of fun with the original BOTW. Well, it will have to wait.
Oh, that specific one gets copied / ‘homaged’ all the time. This would probably be worth an entire exhibition.
Pure entry blender 3 cycles. I used geometry nodes just for the fact that I could use textures to create displacement. I wish there was a way of sharing textures between geometry nodes and shader nodes. I understand why it’s not possible though.
Thinking about this title, I came up with four themes/ideas. Looks like one and a half are already up here. I’ll tell you all four after the entry window closes, so I don’t mess with the directions people take with the Challenge.
Pure, Cycles, 40 samples
Since the parachute harness of the flea sitting on the dog looks like German beer festival lederhosen, I put a freshly tapped beer in the flea’s hand. This way the little dude can celebrate his arrival in the new world.
Thank you! The dog got a severe flea problem now
The beer mug was a late decision, and I modeled it last. The first time I tried to put it in its place, Blender crashed and I had to model it again. Thus, hopefully, the little chap appreciates the refreshment
