2023 Collab: Week 12 “Racing" - VOTE CLOSED

This is the Blender collaboration 2023, week 12 challenge. Don’t be afraid to join, a lot of us are beginners. This is all to practice, have fun, learn, and get together.

This week’s subject is “Racing”.

  • Racing - In sport, racing is a competition of speed, in which competitors try to complete a given task in the shortest amount of time. Typically this involves traversing some distance, but it can be any other task involving speed to reach a specific goal.
  • Subject selected by the previous Week 10 “Pirates” winner TheDespicableDM

The rules are simple. 1 subject, 1 entry, 1 week.
You create whatever object or scene or whatever you can think of that has something to do with the subject. It can be as simple or complicated as you want, all entries are welcome!
Post your picture here in this thread. And at the end of the week, we start to vote. And if you are the winner, you may choose the next subject and win a unique badge.

Deadline: 2023-03-25T22:55:00Z

Work in progress. I don’t make it to the deadline. Too big an idea came into my head.

Made this in a hurry today to have something to participate with so not a lot of detail. But a fun experimentation with softbody and animated face textures!

Here’s a render for submission.

Armatures weren’t working got mario’s fixed but luigi’s is still giving me trouble, heat bone issues.
So just in case going to post what I have so far just in case I don’t get it figured out in time.

Luigi does do planks in the game so still kind of works,

We @BlenderCollab have a few days to vote. You can vote fast but also think slowly about design, colors, technique, difficulty, subject, realism, etc. Choose consciously and not on your own entry.

And the new subject week 13 “Candy” has already started. The winner of this week’s “Racing” challenge may select a subject for next week 14 and wins a badge.

@anastasions Congratulations on your stylish entry on the subject of “Racing”.


  • Wilrun - A very nice reproduction of a familiar racing game. The lighting is good, with fresh crisp colors. Maybe adding a bit of speed blur the next time.
  • consummatest - Love the lighting. Great story. I miss tiny details as in road textures.
  • Joey_Cuevas - Great ‘muscle car’. The car body and stripes give the impression of speed. A bit of motion blur could help to enhance the feel of racing.
  • Medial - Great scene and story. It’s really all about racing. No speed blur is needed here! Try to add more tiny details.
  • Gordon - Fun racing theme idea. Good study on the soft body. Could use more verts, but it probably slows down the calculations. And I miss shadows …
  • Lintari - Good model(s) - It looks like they are at the starting grid.

Note: I don’t want to offend anyone for any reason. I try to write down positive ideas and visions that I have in my simple use of the English language. I am also sometimes more inspired by a particular subject or solution. I’m also learning from you!
