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.

Deadline is Sunday, July 19 T+00:00

This week’s subject: "Fish"

BUT! With a catch! maximum vertex count 10.000. So prepare for low poly!

• Last week’s collab What makes a Clown laugh?.
• See all previous challenges in The hall of fame

1709 verts, 1740 faces. No textures. Have fun!

"Fish" - The making of

I show you how I did this scene, using Blender compositor. Using 4 layers (renders). [Fish - 10] See

[KStarr]

looking good! Nice sun rays effect too!

[Ethan_Martinez]

2,833 Verts, 2,820 Faces, and 5,626 Tris.

[FedPete]

Maybe you can improve? See instruction “The making off”

[dmfrodol]

Hmm… any ideas on how to make the water spray effect for waves on a low poly scene? Have a feeling it could improve a scene quite a bit.
4374 verts, 4018 faces total. No textures.

[FedPete]

Difficult question.
My first thought is to use particle cloud(s). Eevee has troubles with this, if I can remember correctly…?)
Or transparent bitmaps with splashes.

[Kelsie_Anderson]

150 dude! I still young!

I skipped too many weeks, so here’s my entry: the biggest fish in the sea

These are exactly 10k vertices (50 for each fish).

This is inspired by an illustration of a children’s book that my kids love:

[KStarr]

Damn! Just saw the 10 K verts cap! I will have to cut a few millions lol.

[Ethan_Martinez]

Nice entry, strangely enough I was actually considering this idea

[Tyger2]

What @FedPete said. Or maybe a volume?

[Kelsie_Anderson]

Thalassophobia
cringes

1,430 verts

[Sahil_Nain]

I tried something simple this time .
Fish are made using plane , first sub divided it then used a knife tool to make appropiate edges and folded the plane and then used solidify modifier to give it some thickness .
For plants - just used bezier curves for them and then added a solidify modifier
Oil paint effect is done in GIMP
Vertices - 1,288

Here is the render before post processing

Blender Screenshot and proof of vertice count .

So …
That’s why I don’t like to swim in dark water …
Great work!

[FedPete]

I like this “Paper” look and feel.
Maybe try to give this style also to the seaweed?

[Kelsie_Anderson]

Same here… I can’t swim in dark or deep water! Too much unknown!

Thank you

[Ethan_Martinez]

Great entry, really like the ripple effect you did too! The monster reminds me of a Piranha Plant from Mario.

[Ethan_Martinez]

I have a love hate relationship with the ocean, I love the way it and all the animals look, but I hate the risk of one of them brushing up against me while I’m in the water.

[Kelsie_Anderson]

Thank you!

I actually realized that it kind of looks like that this morning! lol
