Epic Pumpkin Challenge 2020 Final

bc_griffin Thanks, I think I understand some of that. I'm 33.33% through the fundamentals of lighting course so hopefully by the end I'll have a better grasp on it! I haven't used the pointiness node yet, I'll have to play around with that, thanks that was all helpful!

spikeyxxx Thank you kind Sir. 😊

joshcanfield Thank you Josh. The entire scene is sculpted. I used an image texture and texture co-ordinate node setting the operation mode to generated which gave me the results you see. I also created various maps to reflect surface irregularities. The pointiness node were also used to add shadows to all the nooks and crannies. But I have to be completely honest Josh...none of this would have mattered if I didn't have a proper lighting setup. Lighting plays such an imperative part. No matter how good your model may appear...if your lighting lacks a bit, all that hard work was for nothing. Thanks again Josh. Hope I was of some assistance to your question. 😊

cchaoslillith Thank you Kat. All will happen for you in due time. It took me a few years to get to this level. Never give up no matter how big or impossible it might seem. Thanks again. 😊

Great! And with scary music and all !

bc_griffin awe, thanks for saying that but you've definitely taken it to another level. I really like how you got the highlights on the ridges. Did you do that with a texture painting? Or procedurally?

Damn! You did that in 12 hours!! Wow, I have a lot of practice to get in to get that good! Well done!!!

joshcanfield Thank you Josh. I'm glad you like it. Your pumpkin is just as cool! Thanks again.

Wow, that's really cool!
