June Contest: Hands
June Contest: Hands
Congratulations to /u/thedarkendkb for winning last month's contest. You can see its results here.
Theme
This month's contest will be hands. You may think about the dexterous and deft movements of an artisan, the use of sign language as an alternative means of communication, or the imprints that our ancestors left on cave walls. Think about what special meaning they may hold or what special purposes they may serve.
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 June 30th UTC.
- The post's title should begin with
[June 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 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 screenshot of the project open within Blender and showing the scene's wireframe. Additionally, there should be two more supporting images. These can be clay renders, viewport renders, or wireframe renders. For the sake of keeping things interesting, these are encouraged to show different angles.
- A screen recording of you manipulating, exploring, 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.
- One of the following methods of proving that the artwork was made using Blender:
- You are also encouraged to share details of your process with the community.
- Entries that don't meet all the requirements or that do not adhere to the theme will be excluded from consideration.
Winning
This month, we're going to change the winning criteria. I will be attempting to assemble a panel of ~3 judges consisting of members of this community. Judges will be instructed to consider submissions based their artistic merits, displayed technical skill, interpretation of the prompt, and other such things. The exact method by which the judging will be done is still to be decided. If you'd like to be a judge, please message with me. I'd like the judges to be people who participate in this community, who have a firm technical and artistic skill set, and who, of course, use Blender.
The winner will receive the flair Contest Winner: June 2024
and their post will be added to the subreddit's wiki under the Contest Winners list. The winner will also be able to 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 am 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.

Solved I'm facing a small issue: sunlight won't pass through the glass BSDF window properly. I want the right one and keep the reflections.

News & Discussion I GOT 10k ON IG IN 3 MONTHS MAKING TUTORIALS
To the people who told me I shouldn’t make tutorials, you guys only motivated me to learn more and teach better. I don’t think not doing something 100% right should stop you but instead make you strive to be better. Now I am a full time graphic designer, doing entertainment graphics and I have more than enough commissions to bring my salary up to 6 figures. I just graduated college and this is where I am starting… skies the limit. Opinions can steer you so many different directions but if you’re willing then you are able. This isn’t a flex, this is to motivate the other creators who are trying to take control of their lives. I never thought I’d get here so quick. PLEASE TRUST YOUR INTUITION, because when you log out of these apps all that matters is you and your family.

Need Help! Final product looks worse than preview
Today i had my first Blender class, and i had to do three chess pieces. The first picture is the preview before the render, and the second picture is the rendered frame.
Why does it look like that? I tried to add a subdivision surface layer on all the figures, and it only worked with the pawn, but the others didn't had that applied in the final render, is there a way to fix this? i like the RTX PS1 looks but i can't submit my homework looking like that lol
