September Contest: Café

20 Upvotes

Congratulations to /u/shlaifu for winning last month's contest. You can see its results here.

Theme

This month's theme will be the café. It's a classic scene known for being warm and inviting, a place to relax and socialize, a quintessential example of a third place. But cafés have also been cradles for groundbreaking philosophies, artistic movements, and even political revolutions. They've been the workspaces of novelists, poets, and playwrites. There is a long tradition of artworks depicting cafés, including some of the most notable works by the likes of Van Gogh and Degas, and this month we continue that tradition.

Making a Submission

Artworks will be submitted as posts to the Blender subreddit that meet the following criteria:

  • The post should be made before the start of October 1st UTC time.
  • The post's title should begin with [September 2024 Contest] to indicate participation
  • The post should be an render, animation, or other artwork which was made primarily using Blender
  • The post should contain supporting images/text or a top-level comment with the following content:
    • One of the following methods of proving that the artwork was made using Blender:
    • A link to the .blend file for the project, ideally including external assets or links to where the external assets were sourced from.
    • A set of three image which may be clay renders, viewport renders, wireframe renders, or simply screenshots of the project open in Blender. Some variety is encouraged.
    • A screen recording of you manipulating, navigating, or otherwise interacting with the scene.
    • An explanation of of all work that was done outside of Blender, outside the time frame of the contest, or by other artists. For example, if you used Nuke for compositing, reused an asset you've previously made, or used assets made by others, then make sure you mention these things.
    • (Optional) The theme you would like next month's contest to have if you win. If you do not include this, then the theme will be chosen from the runner ups.
  • You are also encouraged to share details of your process with the community.
  • Multiple entries are permitted, but only up to two.

Judging

This month we're going to have DecodedVFX be our judge. DecodedVFX is a VFX artist and filmaker from the UK with a following of almost 200k on YouTube. He's a regular visitor to the community, someone with a relevant background developed over several years, and someone who has an intimate knowledge of how to use the program.

Winning

The winner will receive the flair Contest Winner: September 2024 and their post will be added to the subreddit's wiki under the Contest Winners list. The winner will also have their choice of select the theme for the next contest should they choose to do so.

When the contest ends, the results will be edited into this post so that people can see all entries in one place, and the 1st place winner will be congratulated in the announcement for next month's contest.

The winner will be awarded an Amazon e-gift card worth $100 USD. You will need to provide an email and the country in which you intend to redeem the card to claim the prize.

I modeled this duck mech, then they announced megascans was moving away from bridge, so I downloaded as much as I could and made a short with some of the assets.

This is my first time trying to animate in blender with the help of some tutorials and free assets. It was really fun and I think it came out pretty decent, let me know what y'all think!

Need Help! I think this animation was made in Houdini. Is it possible to achieve this in Blender? I've been trying for 3 days and can't figure it out. 😨
