Made a star...t on my entry for this challenge. Santa's Star Base.

Test render in Blender:
I'm thinking of adding some silly vehicles around the scene as well, maybe even one featuring Santa himself.

Returned to trueSpace for Santa's Rocket Sleigh:

Santa is next.

...and here he is:

Another test render in Blender Cycles:

I'm thinking, less dark and more Santa for the final render

Final Render (probably), somewhat warmer colours.

you are a demon! how do you do it so fast and easy yet so well made!

very well done, very well done.

It's a pretty quick & dirty job of just speed modeling some stuff in tS, exporting and rendering it Blender and then painting on extra detail in post, haha.

Also I had a bit of extra time yesterday due to a tooth-ache which made it hard for me to concentrate on the job I was actually supposed to be doing which was working on my game...

thats what iam talking about... you have a tooth ache, so you speedmodel something that has pretty good details :D
I guess i dont model often enough. I used to model like I write, but the training is gone. Now it takes me more time, more thinking on how to approach the modeling etc. Not what it used to be.
