The Simplicity Challenge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Post your renders on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #RGSimplicity! You might be featured on my channel or more!
CHALLENGE RULES:
The only geometry in your scene should be a single sphere of any sort or polycount (ex: UV, Icosphere, Roundcube).
Additional geometry should not be used, even if it doesn't appear in the final render (ex: smoke sim domain).
You may use modifiers to modify/warp/shape the existing geometry. Avoid modifiers that generate additional geometry (ex: array), with the exception of the subdivision surface modifier. You can slice up the sphere as much as you'd like!
No sculpting or modelling is allowed.
Try and keep it mostly Blender. However, if you do some subtle edits with another software or use a texture painting software, it's not the end of the world -- just don't do anything too drastic.
Particle systems are allowed, however the sphere should be the main focus. You may iterate the sphere using the particle system, but you may not iterate any other objects.
Other than that, everything else is fair game. Good luck! Have it posted to Twitter or Instagram before Saturday, September 2nd!

READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR MORE DETAILED RULES! If you have any questions or concerns after reading that, please leave a reply to this comment and I'll get back to you asap :)
Also, remember to share this video with anyone who might be interested in joining! It's a fun, easy, and beneficial challenge for everyone!
Remington Graphics are we allowed to use emissive planes for lighting or does it have to be hdrs and point lighting?
+TheSam54123 emissive planes aren't allowed, but you can use area lamps, which are similar.
Is Backdrop geometry allowed? At 1:54 you have blue sphere there and it's shadow on a plane, or did you do that in compositing?
+Aviraj Mahadik That's all done via compositing. No backdrop geometry.
Sounds like fun! What's the verdict on wireframe modifier, since it can overlap wireframe without replacing the existing mesh? Bit of a streeeeeetch? 😉
I wish I was good enough at blender to do this xD
+AlienFX Do it anyway! Practice is important :)
Hmm..i might give it a try XD idk yet
please upload videos more often
+Farzeen Zan working on it :)
Particles don't count as geo? *thinking face* I'm not so sure about what to feel about that.
Big Blender UA-camrs XD
so my work is out xD something like an dimension mixed with a sun ... omg i like challenges like this, there are so much great stuff anytime
Yo Grant, I've got a question for ya, are shapekeys allowed?
+Chubercik Yep! Just make sure you keep the focus on the sphere
This looks cool and fun to do but i have no idea what is going on :(
Ay, i'm sooo using your PBR shader for the challenge !
+Omar Daghstani Nice!!
So I'm guessing no modifiers?🤔
+Joshua Read the description!
Remington Graphics Oh sry didn't think about that😌
Are liquid/smoke simulations allowed (the domain is extra geometry)
+Sir Brokoli If you can find a way to do it with just the sphere (it's possible) you can. But if you have to add a domain you can't.
Lol it's new idea i have never seen
Reported
+Henry Nosek k
Remington Graphics I joined your contest look for mine
I'm In this looks fun and challenging let's do this
Good luck!
Thanks
Is a Studio Background allowed?
+KackmannLP lolman explain more?
If I werent going to PAX I'd totally try this, would do a deathstar.
I mean, you have a whole week :)
I'm using a crap ton of modifiers none of which add geo aside from subdivision surface and some compositing, is that fine?
+Hundreds Dead That's just fine!
I have neither a Twitter account nor an Instagram account. Is there any way I can still participate in this challenge?
+CrabAuthor Productions Email it to me and I'll post it! grant@remingtongraphics.net
Can we use spheres made from subdivided cubes? They have better topology
+Ed F Check the description :)
Remington Graphics ah right cheers I didn't spot that
Hello can I add some hair/fur to the sphere?
Yes, you can!
how did you do the inverted sky one at 1:56 ??? that one is so cool
Barndon Reed I just used a standard HDRI with a black bottom and the glass shader did the rest of the work.
So I think the mirror modifier isn't allowed oder is he?
All modifiers are allowed
Because you were talking about "simplicity" so much it makes me want to see how complicated I can get with only 1 sphere.
+B_D_W_S That's part of the challenge ;)
Remington Graphics i mean going over the top on purpose, which is kinda the opposite of the point ; )
OOOOOO ALREADY KNIW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO!
+Tommology nice!!
Can we procedurally create more instances of the same sphere (equivalent to modifiers) ?
+Aloys Hosman I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, but if it ends up generating more geometry, then no.
Remington Graphics I'm thinking about using animation nodes generating more instances of the one sphere and doing some fun stuff to them : ) Guess it is adding more geometry : / Thanks for the quick answer though and great challenge!!
+Aloys Hosman You should still give it a shot though! I'd love to see what you come up with. The rules are more like guidelines. You shouldn't put rules on creativity ;)
i might try
+The Iland do it!!
ok
any tips
+The Iland Just keep it simple :)
drive.google.com/open?id=0B_CGaUlaNYZfY2RjUnREMm5pck0
do you like it my twitter does not work :( can tweet it for me
Can we add a plane for shadows?
+Lollylegs Gaming Nope, there are creative ways to make shadows without them.
So modeling and sculpting the sphere would be allowed?
+LurixFX Modeling and scuplting are not allowed. Please read the description :)
Remington Graphics so the part about the modifiers is applyable for everything?
+LurixFX You can apply any modifier to anything in the scene.
Remington Graphics Yes, what I meant was, after you finished the render, you should be able to reverse the object to a sphere?
Am I allowed to take the sphere apart without adding or deleting any geometry?
+Hoe Dan If you add, delete, or transform the individual vertices in any way, it is not allowed. You can try to use modifiers to achieve a similar effect.
Remington Graphics so if I randomly select faces and scale them seperately it is not allowed
Remington Graphics okay thank you for your response.
is the ocean modifier allowed?
+ASTRO_ Ooh, that's a good point. I guess so because I did say modifiers were allowed.
Do we need to make an image or animation
+E Vuga Either is fine!
Remington Graphics can I submit it using something other than instagram or twitter? I don't have an Instagram or twitter
+E Vuga You can email it to me: grant@remingtongraphics.net
Remington Graphics Just submitted
What a great idea, thanks, I'll be using this in Modo I think
