Blender Entry Wins 3rd Prize in CGArena Winter Challenge, Includes Tutorial

Bart · March 9, 2007

Jassar has won the 3rd prize in CGArena’s Winter Challenge. The mission was to create an image that gives you ‘the feeling of winter’, and I think Jassar did a great job. Congratulations!

Check out the final six nominees and the three winners.

There seems to be a bit of a trend that contest winners write a nice, long tutorial about their entry. Jassar is no exception. His tutorial focuses on the process of creating the image and not on the specific Blender functions that he used, but I think you’ll find it an interesting read.

congrats! Awesome job! Personaly I think your pic more embodies the “feeling of winter” than a man eating snowman…

Alex:

Congratulations. Excellent image. I think this image provoked a greater feeling of winter than the snowman (although as someone who has modeled snowmen on occasion I will admit the snowman was also a pretty cool image).
