A Tombstone was the obvious pick for name integration, I'd have made a "Lewdite Residence" plaque if I hadn't been crunched on time because I was moving homes since that "username integration" was a fun unique part of the contest. The Luigi model was a sloppy game rip and needed a lot of vertex tweaking. Lines have to be drawn *somewhere*, by everyone for everything and my submission definitely skirted this requirement so I'll own it.
(I also used Blender and its 3D Text function as per @Kefka's clarification of intent, VIOLATION but really I used this as a time-sensitive excuse to execute an idea from *last* Halloween.)
Aside, great respect for all pre-bones animators, posing vertices manually is not fun. Finally accepted that "it's still necessary sometimes" since the model ripper used Rigify and went to bed (raising a knee much dented Luigi's entire torso, face was completely unrigged too). Every day I'm reminded nothing gets done until you get impatient and do it yourself, always.
Honestly didn't take as long as feared, worth doing just to finish odd one-off renders like this.
(Sorry for the botched image embed, I'm used to forums where I can attach images directly to posts. Embed seems to work for now, fingers *crossed*, thanks @Kefka for reuploading to imgur while I was away at work...)
My votes go to:
1. Enjoyify - Sinner in Ecstasy
^For Overall best pick
2. Adelasia - All Hallows Eve
^For a neat well integrated scene
3. Dreamy - Vampie
^I'm a sucker for old generation figures, I really like the compositing
4. Spats - Undead
^While not the only fun with tombstones entry, it's my favourite presentation, lots of love for effective fog use
5. 1138adrianmartinez – Trick of Treat
^It's a Halloween scene! Lots of neat detailsIt's a good contest when favourites are hard to pick, thanks everyone for contributing!
Thanks for hosting the contest Kefka, this is also my first public render. I used the original gamecube Luigi model and had to do a lot of vertex tweaking to get something acceptable. This is an idea that's sad in my head since last year.
