Here is it !the end of my first mardini !!
A massive thank you to the SideFX Software team for putting these contests together.
After going through a challenging time personally and professionally, this challenge has truly helped me regain my motivation and the drive to keep moving forward.
It’s been tough but a lot of fun, and I’ve learned so much—especially when it comes to approaching "one-man band" projects in a single day! There were plenty of changes of plans and quick fixes to make sure I hit the deadlines.

I’ve been blown away by the level of the other artists and the ingenious, mind-blowing work they’ve achieved. I’m wrapping up with two 2nd-place finishes and 13th place on the leaderboard! The ranking itself isn't the most important thing, but it’s a great boost to keep going, especially during such difficult times lately.

Thanks and congratulations to everyone, incredible work!
See you at the next Mardini!

MARDINI LAST DAY !!!!

My first Mardini is coming to an end! It’s been super fun, and I’ve loved seeing everyone’s work.

It was tough meeting the daily deadlines, but it helped me learn so many techniques—especially how to pivot to "Plan B" when the renders or the ideas in my head just weren’t working out.

It’s been a pleasure, and I’ll see you next year with more!

Procedural greetings to everyone!

Thanks side FX team for mardini!!!You are the best!!!
