Merry Christmas!

Hello people!
It’s been quite a while since I worked on anything
School was keeping me so busy I barely managed it to sleep everyday D:
But anyway, this was supposed to be an entry for BlenderGuru’s Christmas Competition, but I finished test-rendering 30 minutes before the deadline, and the compositing was missing.
And I finally finished today, due to the several times Blender crashed on me after rendering the full-res version of this
So, after 1hour and 50minutes of waiting and praying for Blender not to crash on me for 8th time, here it is:


Modeled in Blender
Background rendered with BI
Spheres rendered in Cycles, as well as their reflections on the floor (which, btw, was rendered in BI too :P)
Composited in Blender
Postpro in Blender, Darktable and GIMP
C&C is more than welcome!
Please!
I hope you like it! :slight_smile:

This is great! I always pray too for my computer not to crash! So awesome your computer listened to you. :slight_smile:

The picture is nice! But I find that the bump map from the ground a little too strong (a bit unrealistic). I would the boards from the floor modeled!

@McThingy I guess that was my Christmas Miracle then :stuck_out_tongue: Thank you!

@AgapeSchalom Thank you! and yes, maybe it’s too strong heh. But I think we can imagine the floor has been recently waxed xD
