Hot Air Balloon - 3D Contest [5 entries]

Up in the Clouds Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
59.5%
Contest goal:

On the 4th of June 1783 the Montgolfier brothers gave their first public demonstration of the hot air balloon. Since then it has evolved dramatically, and now it comes in all shapes and sizes but the principle is still the same. In this contest your goal is to model a hot air balloon. You cannot model airships as they rely on helium, it has to be a balloon that uses ONLY hot air. SBS guides are mandatory.


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

I'm not that good, jet, at modeling so I aimed for a good composition of the image, working with lighting and camera angles.
Update: I added a higher resolution version. (5 years and 3348 days ago)
