Great, all my exams are over so I should have time to make something.’
UPDATE: My entry Not sure if I’ll change it before the deadline or not…
Fire was difficult to do in cycles (wasn’t done with BI and composited on, entirely cycles).
Here is my pic! This is my first time entering a competition and I just started using Blender, so I’m sure it’s no competition.
Merry Christmas to all!
Ok, I am almost done with my entire scene, although I came across a problem. Seems that my computer is not strong enough to handle all the vertices and a smoke simulation at same time. So my question is this. Can I render my main scene alone, then render my smoke simulator scene on a different blend, then combine the two in Gimp? If so I will be providing both blend files.
NVM, I will be doing my scene using a test release of 2.65. This does away with the particles, so makes the work load easier for my computer to handle.
This isnt my entry just wanted some feedback of my work so far i still need to put decorations and background etc but any tips would be appreciated thanks:)
This is my official entry as you can see its changed from my original idea I got the inspiration from a decoration thats hanging on my tree.Full res version http://imgur.com/gallery/hjLBj/new
Yes, you can use nodes in BI materials and combine shaders with mix nodes etc. I just created a shader with diffuse/specular mixed on the basis of a cloud texture input.
Hey,
I have got to the point in the project were I could add more and more details, but I think I have finished! The fur on the hat could do with a little work but I am happy with the overall look. This is my first time using hair particles and I am really enjoying the freedom of them!
This was originally supposed to be steampunk, and it still has elements of that, but I think that it turned out as a half robot, half human Santa!
Thanks, and good luck to everyone else!
;D
EDIT 20/12/12: Decided to add cogs and ear pieces. Don’t know if it made it better or worse but it is no match for the other submitted images anyway
