Non-Competing Entries

i voted for kjaku. nice lighting and gears.
ryeath - i didnt like the pixelated background, although you did a good job :slight_smile:
photox - the rough shading on the body and uniform shading on the eyes looks wierd. for the eyes you can use LW->facing as the fac input for a mixing of 2 emission shaders.
tazdevyl - nice but the monkey looks like lego, and not so lifelike (especially with the perfectly curled tail)
cymsyn - too dark but ok.
nice evrybody though! tricky theme :slight_smile:

Thanks for the input f311x.

I knew I wasn’t very happy with the render. Way too few samples and some hastily thrown together textures. I am kind of proud of the linkage system I came up with between the digit’s wheel and the ten’s wheel. It would work if it was built. Unfortunately it is not very clear in the inset renders. Being a mechanically minded person I found this challenge quite interesting. Wish I had a bit more time to work on it though.

My vote went to Photox(blenderallday??). It was a tough choice between crymsyn and Photox, so I followed the suggestion and went with the pure entry. And i didn’t want to get on the bad side of Lanna.

I am the cg artist formerly known as blenderallday. I wanted to change my name to a symbol, but the admins balked. I really like the mechanical aspect to this and other pieces you’ve worked on ryeath, very cool.

What’s going on with quandtum, does he have a replacement? I love the Wecs as it forces you to create something different and just finish it.

The winner is Ryeath with 7 of the votes!
