Sup guys! I'm a newbie here on CG Cookie and just wanna share my progress on the pumpkin contest.
Halloween's around the corner and i didn't got around to do something for it until now, so this contest seems like the perfect opportunity;)
Sculpted this pumpkin yesterday and will start carving on it tomorrow. I also want to create a few other assets to make the scenery more interesting and give everything a cartoonish touch. Let's see how it goes from here!
Also feel free to leave a comment below;D
Nice work so far love what you already have. Look forward to more
yyukinoh1989 Oh! I saw your wip page too! How's it going with the submission?:D
That's one nice looking pumpkin! I especially like the details in the curly stalk (I believe that's what it's called). Keep up the good work 😄
thepingdelf hey. I am retopologying the pumpkins now. Going slow but I do my best.
yyukinoh1989 Oh! I also did the retopo this morning!
Yeah, Retopo is suuper slow. Theres addon called bsurface for blender that makes things a bit easier in combination with a shrinkwrap modifier and bridge edge loops. It really helped me, so its worth checking out!
thepingdelf is it compatible with 2.8 ? gonna check it out didnt use that yet or the shrinkwrap are there good tutorials that explain how to do that ?
yyukinoh1989 Almost no addons are compatible with 2.8, only the node wrangler, so I wouldn't count on it... shrinkwrap is covered in the introduction to retopoligy course, the one with the orb.
yyukinoh1989 This one could also help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hEHtKH55Us
Just finished retopo to make the model ready for texturing! (I don't have much time this week sadly, so this should do-)
thepingdelf Very nice shape, I like it, Nice topology, ! I'm curious about the way you did the 'twisted' tail, is it with a modifier ?
nabro I used a curve + a cylinder for the basic shape and sculpted in the spiral around the base shape. But now that you mention it, this effect could maybe actually be achieved by rotating the curve points(?) Well, there will always be a next timexD
silentheart00 A pumpkin should smile! Cause also a smile can be creepy:vD
So here's my finished entry for the contest! It was really a refreshing experience to make a little scene in just a few days again, cause i mostly work on longer projects lately. Also making something spooky was funxD Hope you like the result and if you have a question about the render, go ahead and ask me!
thepingdelf hey really cool design. Did you submitted your piece on 31 oktober? Since that was the deadline.
I love how you did that smoke and glittering slimy thing at his mouth.
yyukinoh1989 Thanks! And yes i did:D It was finished like 30 min before the contest endedxD
The smoke is actually simpler than it looks! Used some videogame techniques here. All this smoke is just a bunch of planes with a smoke texture on them and then combined with a subsurfacescattering and translucent shader, it also interacts with light! Did the same with the spider webs.
Also here a little render of the shed behind the pumpkin store ouo weeeeee~ (a full turntable animation is on my twitter account!)
thepingdelf awesome . still have a lot to learn about the shaders(also like how to put in a drawed background and have it rendered) but for now i still am forbidden to learn so i must have a bit more patience .
you really did such a great job . can i also ask how you did that mouth ? if i may ask am i allowed to ckeck the blend file ? i am really curious how you did all this . but if you dont want to share i understand that completly . love all those effects you putted in the scene :D
