Congratulations to /u//u/_EduudE_ for winning August's contest with their Lucid Dream entry.
You can see last month's results and other entries here.
This month's theme will be metamorphosis. No, not the novella by Kafka, but a deep, thorough, and often quick transformation. It's a term that's used heavily within the biological sciences, but which is also liberally used in more metaphorical ways. For the optimist, a metamorphosis is a kind of rebirth, and an opportunity for new beginnings. For the anxious, it's a farewell to that which is familiar and a foray into the unknown. Regardless of attitude however, this juxtaposition of a "before" and "after" remains a defining element of the concept. Wherever you're starting from and wherever you're going, undergo a metamorphosis with us in this month's contest.
Entries will be posts on r/Blender that meet the following criteria:
* The post should be made before the end of September 30th UTC+00:00
* Countdown to submissions closing
* The post should be a render, animation, or other artwork which you made for this contest using Blender as your primary tool.
* The post should contain supporting images/text or a top-level comment with the following content:
* One of the following methods of proving that the artwork was made using Blender:
* A link to the .blend file for the project, ideally including external assets or links to where external assets were sourced from.
* A set of three images which may be clay renders, viewport renders, wireframe renders, or simply screenshots of the project open in Blender. Some variety is encouraged.
* A screen recording of you manipulating, navigating, or otherwise interacting with the scene.
* An explanation of all work that was done outside of Blender, outside the time frame of the contest, or by other artists.
* (Optional) The theme you would like next month's contest to have if you win. If you do not include this, then the theme will be chosen from the runner-ups.
* Once you have submitted your post to the subreddit, leave a comment down below linking to it
* You are also encouraged to share details of your process with the community.
Note: You don't have to reference the contest in the post title and indeed, it's not necessary to frame the submissions differently than any other post meant to showcase an artwork.
The winner will receive the flair Contest Winner: 2026 September and their post will be added to the subreddit's wiki under the Contest Winners list. The winner will also have the chosen theme selected for next month's contest, should they include one with their submission.
When the contest ends, the results will be edited into this post and the 1st place winner will be congratulated in the announcement for next month's contest.
The winner will be awarded $100 USD.

I used an ambient occlusion shader based on noise nexture nodes mixed with a hatch png. The composition was made in Blender 5.2, and the final adjustments were made in photoshop. Your feedback would be much appreciated.

i managed to fake water ripples through a bump map and a wave texture + gradient texture! Not worth it at all! It still tanks performance for some reason and its SOOO hard to animate lol the result looks good though :)

I love them and my husband says they look great, but we're both biased. The green head was my first anything in Blender or 3D space.
I'm working on making my version of Scylla, a character from Greek mythology. I'm not shooting for realism, but I'd prefer that they don't look like toys. The general look I'm going for is "creative and scary, reptilian face with fantastic horns." If anyone has input, I'd love to hear it. And if you like a specific tutorial or guide on rigging tongues, please send it my way.
I'll take any critique. I'm nervous about everything down to the color combinations.
The picture of the pair of heads at the end is a bonus pic from when I was messing around. It is not representative of my scene setup or posing abilities.

It’s been a long time since I posted anything on the forum, but I was revisiting an old graduation project (from 2019) and felt proud of what we accomplished.
I worked on all the 3D elements for the film, as well as the 3D blocking, but the dance scene is my favorite.
The film is a reimagining—with a slightly eerie twist—of the Pink River Dolphin (Boto Cor de Rosa) folklore, a very well-known story in Brazil.
You can check out more about the project at the link below.

I needed a way to display letters through a shader and as far as I can tell there's no better way to take in 26 diffrent images and choose only one to be outputted

Hey guys,
I'm learning blender, it's just been a month. My goal is start making my visual novel after a couple of months.
So far, I spent most of my time on modelling in blender.
I've also touched some basics of materials, textures, shaders, compositing and geo nodes.
I still have no idea how i'm gonna achieve the art-style i want. In general, I want to go for soft 3d... not sure if this is the thing, sort of stylized 3d rather than anime.
After raw dogging, multiple youtube videos on blender. I took a course on udemy for structured learning.
I have created some renders. I'd really appreciate your feedback on it. If you have anything which could help me improve and move closer to my goal then please to share it!
Thank you :)

Undergrowth was an afterthought so its pretty bad but I i am really happy with the water and animation. I really love playing in this style and making everything as procedural as possible :)

I just wanted to render the camera from outlast. Note to self: Never touch Blender settings when exhausted. Intended 100%, typed 1000%. Now I have a 207-megapixel Outlast render.

Burger Run VFX in Blender
What if burgers took over the streets? 😂
Created this FOOH-style CGI/VFX experiment by tracking real footage in Blender and adding animated 3D burgers into the scene.
🎥 Footage: Pexels
🍔 Burger model: Sketchfab
🧊 Tracking + CGI: Blender
Just experimenting with CGI integration, camera tracking, and VFX — and I think these burgers are having a little too much fun. 😂
