Summer Fun Challenge 2021 WIP - Mister Sandman

Where's the sandcastle for the snowman to reside in?

Thank you, euv , that's a good idea 😉! The scene for "Mister Sandman" of course still has to be created ...

duerer  You are killing it in terms of creativity!  You've got my vote ! super nice!

You are setting the bar! :)

Looks great duerer , very imaginative. When the northern hemisphere are making snowmen, they must be making mister sandman in the southern hemisphere right?

@adrian2301 Right, and vice versa so that people in both hemispheres don't get out of practice 😉😁! With my project, I just need to get better in lighting and render setting to get most out of what I've created. And if it's animated, then video editing including audio-video-syncing is something I need to become better in.

Hope the ice-cream man is not running out of sand cones in your scene 😉

I didn't have enough time for making a significant progress with my scene during the last days. So, that's what I've created so far:

And with an HDRI Sky:

With a sand castle like that, you must be the king of the beach!  Nice progress!

Thank you, slenaerts  😀! I just don't know whether I can finish this before this challenge ends 😔?

A quick update on the castle with flags and spiral stairs around the central tower:

And Mister Sandman got three Saint James scallops as buttons and two coconut ears 😉:

A close-up of one of the Saint James scallops:

I see you were working hard on the floral necklace. 

So, I didn't manage to finish my scene just in time:

Two weeks for such a challenge are far too short for a non professional like me. Really sad 😥.

Great job duerer , a great idea for this challenge, and it turned out great too. I know you could create something professional given more time, its tough in two weeks. Well done 👍

Thank you, @adrian2301, for your encouraging words 😊!

Took me some time to find the (at least for myself 😉) smartest way how to model the battlements of the outer castle wall and the path in between them::

The red portions in older version of that wall played an important role.
