Let's see what you can do with this blank pumpkin!
The final entry will be the render of your carved pumpkin.

This is my entry. Less on the realistic side more on the fantasy. My take on a Jack in the box Jack O Lantern style. Look forward to seeing all the entries!

Rendering still in progress on my end. Coming down to the wire. Might literally. If I run out of time I might cheat a little with the stem because of how little symmetry there is with that geometry. Hope not to though.

@Derek_Van_Allen_BD sweet! Mine is complete. Just waiting for the most dramatic time to post it before the deadline.

Pressure's on. Hope the delivery driver is on time today.
Derek Van Allen | Engineering Consultant | MeddlerThis is my pumpkin with pib's face 😀
Time to see the @MichaelPascoe and @Derek_Van_Allen_BD creation!

I'll just say @Derek_Van_Allen_BD must of been an overachiever in school. Reminds me of my son who hates not getting 100% on all his grades.
@MDesign you'd be shocked with how many C averages I clocked back in the day. But that was because everything was a 0 or 100 so you're 70% correct. For the sake of @MichaelPascoe's drama I'll withhold the progress photos from this thread until I've got the final ready.

@Everyone Today is the day! LAST DAY to submit entries! 🚨🚨🚨

Thought it would be more fun if I waited till the last minute to submit.
Pumpkin itself took about 40 minutes to carve from start to finish.
This took so long because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do.
Onshape Model - Render Battle #7 (Pascoe)
Here is my entry image / video:
📸Image render took 11 seconds and zero scene set up! All while not leaving the part studio.
This was done using an app my friend and I are developing and will be releasing soon!😃
.
🎥Video render took 64 seconds with a simple prompt using Veo.

That is killer @MichaelPascoe

That is wild. Nice work.
Ty much! This was a fun one to work on.
Looking forward to seeing @Derek_Van_Allen_BD's mysterious renders.
Hopefully we get a few more entries before the day is done. It's always more fun the more entries there are.

No I'm good, I'm just working away at it. I promise I'll slide it in before midnight lol. You got some really tricky spline geometry in here so it's taking awhile to make sure everything is lined up right
Derek Van Allen | Engineering Consultant | Meddler@MichaelPascoe here, this should explain what's taking so long.

Lofted sheet metal was the spookiest thing I could think of
Derek Van Allen | Engineering Consultant | MeddlerAh man you spoiled the surprise. 😂
That looks awesome!!

This constitutes my official submission.
Your pumpkin studio rendered in A1008 cold rolled steel and 304 stainless steel lofted sheet metal.
My rendering platform of choice? Welding bench, obviously.
And a vanity shot for good measure. I'll follow up more with the process in another post later but this was a lot of work to get this guy over the finish line so I'm gonna kick back with a celebratory beer for finishing it without too many issues.
Here's my document, for anyone looking to browse the work.
