“What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? An instant of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber. A ghost is me.” (The Devil’s Backbone, Guillermo del Toro)
Made for Halloween Contest on Blendercookie. Won 1’st place, golden pumpkin and also community pumpkin(oO). Well, thank you so much! Should I say, that Blender community is great?
Modeled, textured, sculpted and composited in Blender. Rendered in Cycles, post-processed in Gimp.
825k polygons.
This sounds so retarded for a person that has used blender for years now to say, but I struggle with making a pumpkin. It seems like such an easy thing to make, but I have a mental block whenever I try to model organic objects of almost any kind. Any tips? That is a wicked badass render by the way.
Try to study references and also some pumpkin model from Blendswap - look, how topology is going. Imho, the best way to overcome block is simply to DO things and don’t worry about result. By the way, try to sculpt the pumpkin goog luck!
This is very good. Awesome … fantastic atmosphere !
How many days it took you to do all this ? Do you work like 5, 8 hours a day or more ?
Congrats for the first place, well deserved
CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL ON THIS?
or just a run through of what you did, i mean it’s great, too great that it should be made for a tutorial on how to make such a BAM(-ish) thing
goog luck!
