Contests and Challenges

This is "Mister Sandman", my summer version of a snowman ๐Ÿ˜‰โ›„๐ŸŒž.

  • Vue Thao(euv) replied

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

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    Thank you, euvย , that's a good idea ๐Ÿ˜‰! The scene for "Mister Sandman" of course still has to be created ...

  • Sรฉbastien Lenaerts(slenaerts) replied

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


    You are setting the bar! :)

  • adrian replied

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

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    @adrian2301 Right, and vice versa so that people in both hemispheres don't get out of practice ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜! 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.

  • Sรฉbastien Lenaerts(slenaerts) replied

    Hope the ice-cream man is not running out of sand cones in your scene ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    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:

  • Sรฉbastien Lenaerts(slenaerts) replied

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

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    Thank you, slenaertsย  ๐Ÿ˜€! I just don't know whether I can finish this before this challenge ends ๐Ÿ˜”?

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

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

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    And Mister Sandman got three Saint James scallops as buttons and two coconut ears ๐Ÿ˜‰:

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

  • Vue Thao(euv) replied

    I see you were working hard on the floral necklace.ย 

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    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 ๐Ÿ˜ฅ.

  • Vue Thao(euv) replied

    The castle

    An aerial view of Mister Sandman's island:

  • adrian replied

    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 ๐Ÿ‘

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    Thank you, @adrian2301, for your encouraging words ๐Ÿ˜Š!

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    Took me some time to find the (at least for myself ๐Ÿ˜‰) 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.
