Topic.
Topic this year is ‘Abandoned Classics’.

Evocatively depict remarkable objects and places not longer in use. We want classic objects and places, but showing the burden of time and usage. With this exercise, we are looking forward to people using intensively YafaRay materials and texturing capabilities to simulate weathering: cross texture mapping of the material components, variation in the specular channel, blending of properties, etc. We are as well looking foward to people using volumetrics to create a dusty enviroment if they choose to make an indoor scene.

The contest dealine is August the 1st. 0:00 GMT

The winner will be selected by a jury composed of the YafaRay Team. The prize for the winner consist in:
