[@StevenConning]

There's a cooking channel called SORTEDfood that does a pass-it-on challenge that I think would be fun for VFX as well. Basically you start with a theme, and everyone takes turns working individually to add something and work towards the final goal. The difficult part is that you can't communicate with the other people, so you have to figure out what they've done, decide how you're going to contribute and try to get something done within a time limit.

#1 Wren. His looks like a stylistic interpretation of the original. #2 Jordan: The big wave let him down, but overall very good. Niko's tricks failed and he wasn't even in competition. Sam wasn't even playing the same game. His results are amazing, though.

[@Machtyn]

I went Jordan, then Wren. But I do respect the reasons for your choice. I really like the realism of Jordan's. Like Wren stated, he needed about another 30 - 60 minutes to complete his. And then there's Sam making sales points for Unreal Engine.

[@Yamipaladin]

As long as Wren or Jordan win I can accept the decision but the other two are just so far off the point

[@EposVox]

[@naurcho]

Wren spiralling but following along the most closely, and Sam completely focusing on the backstory of his scene and not watching the tutorial at all. Amazing

Wren's was great. As a digital illustrator I know how hard it is to figure out the medium, and he did a great job with all the pressure in a short time.

[@Marlyjade]

[@Marlyjade]

@@SophiaAstatine almost every production software that you use for visual media has layers of some kind. They're special effects artists who work and after effects and premiere which have a layer function. You start to get used to how they work when you use them often.

[@FoxerTails]

Jordan's, hands down, wins. The scene is so picturesque and the added touch of Bob Ross being inside the art is the cherry on top.

[@nrdkraft]

My ranking: Jordan, Sam, Wren, Niko. Sam’s is cool again, but I’m gonna have to go with Jordan; the lighting is beautiful, the DOF adds a nice look (even tho I know it’s to hide the waves😆) but perhaps especially because of his tribute to Bob and his painting. Kudos to Wren too for actually painting!! Niko gets an A for effort, the sky and lighting is beautiful, but I just can’t do those waves.😆

[@MrSpannners]

I agree except i'd switch Wren and Sam. I think Wren did a great job considering the context.

[@who_da_f]

I agree

[@Nordorf]

Too bad Sam is disqualified, since he didn't do hands off when it was called out.

[@conorpm9009]

Wren: He really captured the scene. Perhaps bordering on a cheat by essentially just painting on his tablet. But, he is the only one that managed to capture the key focal point of the light through and within the curl of the crashing wave, which really was the heart of the painting. Then Jordan: A practically photoreal depiction. But didn't manage to capture the light and wave action. Sam: Once again a fantastic scene with a lot of story, just not any real story about Bob's scene. But this time the story didn't capture the Bob Ross scene nearly as well. He basically threw in a bit of the source material; a shoreline and a couple of trees, and then went his own way. Niko: Sadly those waves just did not work. A tranquil shoreline scene became some image of an alien world or something. Cool, but not true to the source material.

[@lucbloom]

This is the correct opinion. Only a slight remark: Sam’s waves are middle-of-the-ocean bloopy waves, no foam, no crashing. That really bothered me.

[@aditsu]

Wren really followed what Bob Ross was doing, but did not follow the rules of the challenge - I thought it was supposed to be a 3d render.

[@jaddytheteenblogger]

It's amazing how confident and at one Sam is with Unreal now. I remember when they introduced Unreal to their production and Sam was left alone to learn, implement and execute the whole program by himself. Look at him now. Already building a whole world within 30 minutes and still executing the task at hand. I can't wait to see what other Unreal projects they have in store.

Also I feel like doing renders of abstract or surreal landscapes could be really fun and challenging. Everyone could choose and artist and perhaps create a new piece inspired by them? (Dali, Monet, Escher, whoever) :)

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

I would argue that Sam deserves a deduction in the technical note as he did so much unrequested playstuff that he completely forgot to give sky and water the right coloring to hit the mood which should have been easy with his engine. His looked spectacular and lively (cause it was animated) but it did not hit that aspect of Bob's painting, which i would count as a fail. Wren got the coloring also wrong, but at least the "honest way" he wasn't that experienced with the brush and color selection and could not redo it unlimited times with better fits as he was alreaydy supposed to go on to another color and another detail. Only thing he outright failed on was the improvement of the palmtrees, but his shadows still looked more like the Ross thing than the "asset" ones from the other results. Copy/Paste fronds and all. Had Wren used the system as extensively as the others did their render engines before this challenge i'm sure his picture would have been even closer as he'd not have despaired so much over what to pick...

His lore is literally just pirates of the Caribbean.

[@The_real_Arovor]

What I think is really interesting in these challenges, is the different approaches Wren takes in all of them. He really thinks outside the box. In my book it‘s either Wren or Jordan. Wren was much closer to the original but Jordan really nailed it while doing it the way it was meant to be done. For me the win goes to Wren for his thinking out of the box, choosing a method that he isn’t familiar with and still almost nailing it.

I'm definitely a combo of the 1 guy crafting a backstory, and the anxiety ravaged dude "just trying to figure it out"

[@ThatCyndi]

Wren: sticks a piece of tape directly onto his ipad screen Me crying: there's a "straight-edge" feature for that y'know

[@noobatredstone3001]

There is? How do I use it?

[@ThatCyndi]

@@noobatredstone3001 depends on which program you have but usually there's a feature it's usually called the "ruler" feature where you can move it around so your stylus draws a straight line against it. If you don't see it there's usually a search function in most programs where you can search through your tools.

The irony is that Bob is creating while also relaxing the viewer along with himself to make something out of nothing while you guys are so super-hyper, super-competitive and anxiety filled through the whole creative process. It’s quite hilarious. 😂

[@SirToddlersbane]

Wren's is the best! c: I'm really impressed with how well he did with software that was practically new to him!

[@Comicwriter232]

Sam did so good last time, that he just got wayy too cocky hahaha

[@Suckynewb]

Someone should do VR painting/sculpting for the next one.

[@GillesVandenoostende]

Kinda hard to do when you have to watch a video at the same time. You can bring reference images into tilt brush but no videos as far as I know. Dunno about other vr tools

[@mrcraggle]

There's a VR painting program called Vermillion that is basically the closest you can get to a Bob Ross sim.

[@Seramede]

@@GillesVandenoostende there is programs that can let you have windows/videos floating in any application , it's native in steamvr now as of recently

[@HalfWarrior]

I think Wren’s approach (iPad) makes the most sense as a digital painter and artist.Really great stuff everyone! Also a screenshot of Sam’s waves looks like a great reference for painting!

[@lemguins7031]

Wren's is my favorite, he worked hand in hand with the video instead of jumping around after using assets on bulk portions like the sky for saving time on parts.

[@StephenBarlowmeep]

After much deliberation, I give a slight edge to Jordan because it best fits with the parameters set out at the beginning of the video, i.e. "3D" application of our choice, but Wren's digital painting was great. And thank you for giving me a good idea for an event at my place of work.

[@SADE__]

Wren wins imo because his has the heart of a Bob Ross painting

[@41tinman41]

I’m curious to see how a digital artist would recreate the brushes and effects Bob Ross used. Wet-on-wet just has that unique way of mixing colors and I feel that there HAS to be a plug-in or setup that recreates that feel.

[@fyrebird5898]

Am learning digital painting after being a traditional artist for years. The biggest challenge is creating organic looking brushstrokes. Marginal success by editing brush settings to be more randomised, but yeah... nowhere near as good as the real thing. Have much respect for artists able to do it effectively. Some software also just better geared up for the painterly feel.

[@SuzakuX]

There's a program I tried years ago called ArtRage that was pretty impressive for emulating the look and feel of different wet media using some degree of physics simulation. Also lets you mix your own colors using a digital palette, IIRC.

[@thesavage2054]

I did like how much Wren's looked like Bob's painting!

[@arfansthename]

Design-wise: Sam's. I mean, he developed a whole game based on a Bob Ross painting! With a full plot! Accuracy: Jordan's. I especially love the little Bob Ross and easel he put, and as an added bonus, it's where Bob would usually put his signatures.

[@Fish_InChips]

I liked Wrens. The fact that it was actually painted is unique.

[@dragoryu2718]

Everyone else: *panicking how fast Bob is* Pay2Win Sam: "I have left a secret message under this box of Potatoes" Wren: "WHAT BRUSH IS HE USING!!" XD

[@sbsftw4232]

Wait, he's using acrylic right?

[@lucya8608]

@@sbsftw4232 From memory Bob Ross used oils but it wouldn't be too had to adapt for acrylic. You'd probably have to substitute some of the supplies (binder, cleaner, primer etc.)

[@TheWickedJuggy]

Wren: Out of all the others, he used brushes, layers, and paint in the manner that embodies how bob was creating the scene. Everyone else was using tools to just drop stuff into a scene generated for them by a program. Everyone did good, they created a scene using a blank canvas and made their own renditions of what bob was conveying at the same time.

[@andrewazar484]

I'd love to see this become its own series. I think it'd be fun to see what you all make with enough time to channel that Bob Ross Zen. Maybe one day is the time limit.

[@DeadlyLazer]

"he's so at peace, to make a piece like that, so violent and angry. What's he hiding?" Watch the Bob Ross Netflix documentary, Jordan

[@jngo123456789]

It has to be Jordan! The colours are spot on and the light coming through is so perfect. Plus he was totally chill about Wren stealing his 5 minutes, true Bob Ross energy

[@JWelson9980]

Wren! So impressive and hit the spirit of Bob Ross.

[@pmasco6]

Sam is awesome, just builds an entire game to go with one scene, way too funny
