VroniMahoni posted this gorgeous image of a traditional Indonesian mask.

The Barong's got magical power and is the symbol of health and good fortune, in opposition to the witch, Rangda. Barong Ket (Lion creature) is the most common Barong..)

Modeled in Blender/ Cycles render engine 1000 samples CPU

I felt like back in the 90s because this image took me 8 hour to render. I think it is time for some CUDA power :-D

Take a look on the BlenderArtists post for some screenshots of this work.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.
