@FedPete those textures/materials are FIRE! I cannot wait to see the full render - this is going to be fantastic!

Always funny, this one makes me smile. I love the story.
Snowman disappearing act ‘warmly’ received by onlookers? 
Perhaps it needs a heat source?
Now you see him…now you don’t!
I love how the smile is still intact, but now looks like a frown 
Great job, @FedPete. This is looking excellent.
Perfect!! 
Here is my work in progress:
Here is my final. This was half an exercise in trying to efficiently model something simple and half an excuse to try out the new brushstroke extension from blender studio. The whole thing was pretty hastily thrown together.
Final:

I hope that snow person doesn’t melt in that very stylish and WARM coat! Looks great, @Megane_Wang!

This will probably be it for me as I’m too tired to continue. Only managed to get started on this when it was already “past deadline”. Really wanted to get an entry in this week but unfortunately work had other plans for me
yikes, better luck next time I suppose

Very fun idea and the way you’ve illustrated this is very good (fish eye).

It was intended to be a thermal protector, but I was very late this time to add any hints. It was my interpretation of a lot of images of snowmen with coats I had found as an inspiration that made me think exactly that

Well, this is a nice WIP of a WIP for a snowman 
. That view is very interesting. What camera focal length did you use for this?

That is a huge snowman! And the camera angle is great. You got that in 14mm or something equivalent to create the fish eye effect? Great concept! I would have never thought of something from a macro scale.

Thanks, what I was going for was a wide-angle shot from a news helicopter, I wanted to add “Live News” banners and a CRT effect but I just didn’t have time, I may still polish up the piece and post it finished.
As for the fisheye effect, you can change Blenders camera to panoramic and then select from various panorama types and tweak the settings.
I belive it only works in cycles though, no idea why.

Thank you! I see it’s a 15-mm fisheye lens. I have one of these - a physical one 
. Now I see that I had overlooked the Type options for the camera, thank you very much!

This week we have three winners (due to low votes). Congratulations for the winning entries of @FedPete , @Turgul and @mfortunato.
All entries give a certain twist to the snowman theme. Most have a funny interpretation of the theme or a special execution. Very creative everyone!
It was a very nice Blender Collab year-end!
Next week, we start with the year 2025 edition.
I wish all participants a beautiful and healthy 2025.
Keep learning and practice a lot. Also show your projects, that you are making outside of the Collab.
Have fun
Pete
