CGAN July 2022 - AI - Final entries

Think I'm done with this even though there's still one more day...

2D--->3D  

 

I obviously went back to Eevee but if I somehow get a free 40 minutes tomorrow on the final day I may try a Cycles render but it's much more likely that I won't bother.
 

One vote for Banj's Brain.

Part of me would like a few more folds and wrinkles in there but then again the smoother areas successfully manage to give a more artificial feel to it, especially with those lovely highlights on the underside, so it's probably the right choice to do it the way you did.
And great work on those sprawling cables reaching out like curious tentacles around the tiny figures.

Green Tron Dude?
*goes back to check*
Yes. Yes, I definitely meant it.

Actually no.
If you mean the green blob below the foot that's actually just a specular reflection of a fill light just behind the puppet.
As I mentioned I was torn between the two renderers. Eevee doesn't do indirect lighting so the shadows defining the form can be a bit harsh with minimal lights. Cycles, being a proper ray tracer, does all kinds of lighting but, with the entire green texture being emissive, it lit up the puppet like a Christmas tree from all angles and that looked rather flat. So, I stuck to Eevee and faked the surrounding glow with a couple of extra, short radius point lights around his feet and one of those seems to be creating an extra foreground glow that could be a head.

However, if you mean another green Tron dude.... I can't even see that one.

Therefore it's happy accidents all the way.

Also while searching for this accidental fellow I noticed that the deliberately eyeless Tron dude on the right seems to have two green eyes looking over his shoulders.
Perhaps this is what AI art is. Just create random procedural textures and find pictures inside them.
