Here is an early posting of the Day 1 Challenge for Mardini 2026. The Day 1 prompt is Plant.

To be eligible for the daily prizes, you must post your Day 1 images to this thread before midnight EST on March 1st. There is another thread for animation. You can enter either an Image or Animation on any one day. You cannot enter both on the same day. You can create an Image one day and an Animation another.

Please go back to the Rules Page [www.sidefx.com] before diving in. Best of Luck!

Note: if you are posting to the SideFX forum for the first time then your post needs to be reviewed. You don't need to post multiple times. We will get to it! Also be sure to stick with the same username for the whole contest - if you change your username partway through your points could get mixed up.

All the best to everyone!
I used a tool called Natsura [www.natsura.com] to create the plant models.
It's a great tool that can be used in Houdini.

Hi, this is my very first post on SideFX!
Since I've just started to study Houdini, I got the idea for these clovers from "Houdini grasslands lesson" by Rohan Dalvi.
Hope these clovers bring you good luck!
