Weekend contest: Toys in the attic
After winning last weekend’s contest, it’s now Colino Grillet’s turn to pick a topic.
My idea for the next contest come from an Aerosmith title : “Toys in the attic”. What are your old toys doing in this hidden place ?
I Hope you will like answer this question ;)
Post your work below (attach an image and a screenshot if you like), and vote for your winner. The winner will get a post on monday, and will get to pick next weekend’s contest theme. Have fun!

Here is my picture. I am open for advice
My entry. I’m Still open for advice.
hay man, try darkening the whole scene and making actual floor boards. Also try making a sort of spot light coming from above the center of the scene. This what i would do. Hope it helps. G Job so far
Nice job modeling! A couple bits of advice…
1) Camera- try moving it up closer to the toys. Also, try putting at an angle looking up/down at the toys to add an interesting viewpoint.
2) Try finding some textures for the cardboard boxes to add some realism.
3) Experiment with the composition nodes. A lot of cool effects can be achieved using them. Just look up some tutorials on realism in blender.
Keep up the good work! :)
Is this beter?
Updated version.
Much better! Now we can see the source of light. Your addition of a floor texture makes a huge improvement, adding to the realism.
Also, there now seems to be a story behind it- the single source of light creates a mystery. Why is the person up there with a flashlight? Did one of the toys move (if you know Doctor Who, is one of them a Weeping Angel-style monster)?
Keep up the good work! :)
“Old Toys in the attic ” by Luca Di Cecca
Haha, that’s a great idea!
“The dream of the none-face bear”,….here is my entry!!
“The dream of the none-face bear”,….here is my entry!!
My toys are old and my attic has mice.
looks like I submitted wrong…sorry about that Nathan. Hope to get some feedback. Like why all the noise? Thanks
I’m assuming this is cycles? I don’t use it too often, but perhaps more samples would help with the noise, and a larger resolution would be a nice improvement
Aside from the technical details of how you render, I would suggest maybe working on the lighting. The success of the image is dependent upon the lighting. When I think of attics I usually picture soft, orange light coming in from a window or such.
Also, maybe mapping an image to the floorboards would help add to the realism (jBlenderUser3D’s submission to this contest, “Toy Battle”, is a fine example of this)
Otherwise, great work!
Thanks, I have a hard time lighting. Sooo not ready for mapping.
Well good luck with everything
happy blending!
“Stages”
It was a lot of fun making this image, I challenged my self to not use any image textures which made me alter my design more that once. I thought this image is important for a lot of people because everyone is growing up.

Hi! This is my contribution. “The attic toys party” is ready! Your toys are welcome.
Hope you like it!
My entry “Le Télécran” or the magic screen
A bit cliche, I know. But I had no other ideas
man try ditching the green stuff, no afence, and make it pink. Then have a toy coming out of it. that would make it look awesome.
Thanks AFilmClan, I have taken some of your suggestions on board. It works better now…
wow, great job with that! like how it looks!
Here’s my entry, “Old School Blender.” Yes, that is a screenshot of Blender 1.6! :)
Everything except for the screenshot texture of Blender 1.6 and the keyboard texture was done by me.
Comments and critiques appreciated! Enjoy!
Is it an Amiga keyboard?
I don’t know… I just googled “Old keyboard top” and cropped the picture a bit.
Anyways, here’s the keyboard texture if that helps identify it, along with a screenshot of my setup!
“Toys Battle”
Some noise in the render, but overall, I guess I’m done.
“…and you got a friend in me…” reminds me of toy story. Like it man!
Really great entry, I love the wood texturing (especially on the horse). If I have one suggestion, its that the car lacks definition. Perhaps add some ambient occlusion?
Dude, this is awesome! The level of realism is great!
As for the car lacking definition, I used to have one just like it,
and it had that amount of definition (being a kid’s toy.)
The only thing I would change is outside the window- the amount of light outside
doesn’t seem to match the color/amount of the light coming through the skylight (I think it’s a skylight?).
Overall, very nice work! :)
Here is a quick picture i made in reference to the “Toys in the attic” by aerosmith. I song i know is very popular.
Nice! What parts were made in blender?
just the teddy bear in the corner. I also added some glare effects and some darkening to the edges. Anyway thanks for the vote and comment.
So I don’t usually work in 3D with blender, but I thought I should give it a try… :)
Any critiques on modeling, composition, lighting, etc. would be much appreciated
I really like that Picture :) The White keys are a bit Edgy and they usually have a a small Lip around the Edge. Maybe the black keys are a bit to Black. It seems they absorb 100& of the Light. Other than that nice work!
Thanks, is this any better?
Man, awesome lighting!
“Forever Together”.
Done with Blender and PP in Krita.
Junior helps Senior.
Here is my very feeble attempt. I am still fairly new to Blender and all things 3D but I am working on it!
Hi every body! Here my entry: Toys in the attic: they daydream ^^
And because SW7 is coming oO
oups double image/// Don’t know how keep only one…
Awesome!
Thank you Kette ;)
Great work Ludovic!
Love it!
Thanks ^^
Here is mine. I call it “Forever Alone”. I used the Compositor for some effects and rendered with Cycles. The Out of Focus tree was from the starter pack from Andrew Price and the base for the cloth simulation. Otherwise everything was done by myself and I am very proud.
“ole friends”
My entry for the contest. I am not entirely confident about the result, but I did not have more time for it. I call it “Hunt for the first duck”.
Picture…
This makes me sad.
Here is another picture that I attribute to Aerosmith’s “Toys in the attic”. Hope you enjoy. Up for advice:
tweaks, a few more samples, and ps love
So I really wanted to get the light doing something a lot better than this, but instead of working on Blender this weekend I adopted two kittens, so that kind of took precedence this week…
Here is my entry
probably I’m out of time, anyway here’s what I’ve done:
just cause you asked J.D.
