Something for the Weekend - Part 125 - Jungle Temple

Picture the scene. You are walking through the jungle and you come across the remains of an ancient temple. What happens next?

 

I've made you the scene using Blender 3D, XFrog and Adobe Substance. Your challenge is to add to it and show us what happens.

 

The “rules”:

  • Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.
  • Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.
  • There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

 

To download the image below at 3840 x 2160 pixels, with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

 

When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun.

 

Dave

 

Note: Going forward I'm only going to put up these challenges fortnightly. We are in lockdown here, so I can't go out and take photos, and creating these 3D scenes takes too much time to do weekly whilst still doing all the other things that life entails. I have no problem of course if anyone else wants to put up a challenge in between 🙂

Dave, I wonder how many of us appreciate just how much of your time goes into the renders?  And with them becoming more and more complex, that time requirement must be growing.  It would be nice to maintain the SFTW momentum, so shall we ask for volunteers to put up a starter image?  They don't have to be Blender marvels, which is good because none of us could come close to where your 3D skill set has got to.

 

I've cheated a bit with this one as the trees are actual photographs of some of the fruit trees we have growing in New Zealand.

Very clever Trevor. Chocolate orange trees, I wondered how they grew them! 🙂

 

I've no problem with anyone putting up a starter image, or any other kind of challenge Trevor. When I started SFTW it was just for a bit of fun and it's great that so many have gotten involved with it.

Indiana Dave vs the copyright pirates... I've seen it but don't remember what happens next?

I like the idea Graham. Perhaps we can take all the pirates to that location and leave them there 🙂

"creating these 3D scenes takes too much time to do weekly"

 

This is beautiful, Dave, and your 3D scenes have gotten quite complex since the ones you posted in the early days of SFTW. If I were to imagine the time it takes to create one, I might guess "significant". Am I close?

Somewhere between a lot and a great deal Jane 🙂
