2022 Special "Best wishes" Collab - VOTE CLOSED

[Yee]

Maybe watch the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special, I know it’s a silly recommendation, but you might get some ideas from there, but I still don’t get how that fits theme ‘Best Wishes’, sure, it’s Christmas, but that’s not necessarily a best wish, Is it?

I got an idea for a scene: An intergalactic delivery package guy, outside his ship, looking into the sky, seeing all those planets, holding a gift, thinking about his kids, hoping them the best Christmas, wishing he was there with them. Cheesy, I know, but fits both the sci-fi and the collab theme, if you don’t want to create the character model, you can simply cast a shadow, and have the sci-fi looking gift on the floor, near it.

You are right!
And we are in a multicultural forum environment, where not everyone has the same Christmas interpretation. So it’s a bit of everything at the end of this fabulous Collab year. Be creative, you’ve about 4 weeks to transcend yourself…

The theme is kind of holding me back a little, I have no idea how to make a game out of that, and I don’t want to make a simple Blender entry, I still suck at Blender

[FedPete]

In the past, using Flash, I had a game where Santa was flying above some houses (roofs with chimneys). Pressing a key dropped a present, into a chimney if timed correctly by the player. Santa stood still on the screen, while the roof tops with chimneys were moving from left to right.

You can add more game to it, my adding things like the correct package color (or size…) in in the correct chimney. Santa lowers its position after missing a package drop.

An other game I had, was fireworks. Game shooting random flares in the sky. When clicked by user they exploded in nice colors and effects, when missed . No bonus points. etc.

Keep it simple, use ideas from other simple games and add your own ideas to it!

[Yee]

The issue I have is the theme ‘Best Wishes’, I’m not sure how to use it, perhaps something about stars and making wishes, that could work I suppose.

Hi,

It has been over a year since I began to learn Blender and I could see I made some progress
Happy new year to this lovely community!

And as always I am open to feedbacks and suggestions

Thanks,

[Willrun]

Hope everyone enjoys the new year.

Loved the theme and I wish y’all a Merry Christmas

[Joseph_Williams]

I actually just learned about the collab but it just so happens I was working on a Christmas e-card anyway.

[FedPete]

To all Blender enthusiasts, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Full of Blender exploration and creativity. I hope 2023 will bring you happiness and health.
Thank you for your GameDev forum support, your creativity, your ideas, and a bit of friendship.

I enjoyed working with you this 2022, thank you!
FedPete.

During this last collab, I hadn’t much project time, because working on a new 3D printable project. So I combined a bit. CU in 2023!

Best Wishes for Christmas and the new year, to all Blender addicts.

Lacked time somehow also, so I adapted work from the new Anime course to make a Christmas Amine Elf, Santa’s helper. What presents will Blender give us all next year?

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas, and that you have a happy new-year.

I didn’t realize what these Collab challenges were. I posted this elsewhere and it was suggested I place it here. It is a mod on the Early Access Anime girl. I’ve been making alternative clothing sets for her while waiting for the next lecture to drop. Guess everyone gets a holiday break .

Hello I wish you all a happy new year! May everyone have a great 2023
Best wishes! : ) Very cool this year-end collaboration!
*Hope you like the pictures! In the city where I live, they adorn the main monument church and its square, so I tried to put a little of what we can see around here of the decorations and the church which is very beautiful.
**Sorry my pc was crashing when trying to render, and the save got corrupted so I had to do it again…

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! My submission is a little collection of favorites from the Complete Blender course and the collabs. I call it Archive Attic. No presents under the tree, but at least they can play bowling and chess together

[FedPete]

Wonderfull idea!
