I’ll have something to submit, but it’s beginning to feel more like a long term project

Yeah, be careful with that… I bit off way too much last collab which is why I have just enough energy to run this collab, but not enough to enter it. 
Challenge yourself, but don’t stop having fun. 
Ah too bad. I wanted to see what you’d do with it.
Here’s where I’m going to stop with my chemistry set:
It’s a cool theme. there’s so many more different models I wanted to make, and other effects I could try to figure out how to add.
Details
- wood and wall textures from textures.com
- HDRI for reflections from hdrihaven.com
- revisited this tutorial from Blender Guru’s donut series to remember how to do liquid and glass
- chalkboard texture (without drawings) from needpix.com via google image search (Did you know you can specify “usage rights” in google image search to search for images that are royalty free? Click on “tools” and “usage rights” after you search. There are a few different settings, but I’m not exactly sure of the difference in legalities)
@Ethan_Martinez and @Sahil_Nain You guys made some awesome scenes! Hope we get some more submissions here.
edit: @Sahil_Nain Whoa I just saw the DNA! Nice! WIll you add it into the scene? I could imagine it on the table or even big in the middle of the floor.

Very realistic-looking cycles render.
Wow! Did you actually model the liquid’s menisci? That’s next-level attention to detail.
Your computer must have had fun rendering that
That’s a massive departure in style from your previous submissions, but still manages to retain the character of your previous works.
Very cool!

OK, fine, in honor of Charlie Brown & his Duckie & Horsie clouds, (because he’s a good man, Charlie Brown) here is my beginner entry for the Laboratory theme project: Dr. Blinky in his lab, from the 70’s kids show, “HR Pufnstuf.”

I like the fact that Dr. Blinky is mainly composed of primitives… nice
Had to google “H.R. Pufnstuf”. At fist glance they look like Muppets who may have been “puffing” on too much “stuff”

How about a new category for best beginner entry, call it the “Ducky Horsie Clouds award,” to encourage beginners to participate??? I propose to bring it up for a vote.

@albesca, I’m not saying I blame you for this…
but… I kinda am saying you may be responsible…
The “Ducky Horsie Clouds” award may well become a thing.

& this proves the point; how am I, or any other novice, supposed to compete with this?
excellent work, NP5.
Thanks @Bradley_Bowers
If you see it as a competition, I keep losing, low poly things win, lol. That is my failing, my ‘style’. People vote on all sorts of parameters. To be fair I had a lot of items ready made. Even so I spent days on this. Still failed as far as I am concerned, new render is two mins too late and my concern that in the evee working render, the candles looked green tinged, has led me to make them over white, in proper Cycles. Did improve the flame. But I did rush in a poor, very poor quill and a quick and easy inkpot.
Had been thinking it was Friday evening end.
This one too late, bad candles spoil it anyway.
