Christmas Mayhem

December 2024

The 3D render competition's theme was "Christmas Mayhem," and it stuck. Created using my personal Blender painterly setup with geometry nodes and Python. Rendered in Blender Eevee.

This was my first genuine attempt at sculpting character clothes and faces. I am really proud of how it turned out.

Vertical video I used on Instagram and YouTube. Notice the parallax, zoom, and overall temporal consistency. Song is "I'm Gonna Kill Santa Claus" by Danny Gonzalez, remixed and heavily bass boosted by me. You have been warned.
