Summer Pool + Robot

Inspiration

I want to create a scene that includes a fish head robot character laying in a pool. I want to challenge myself through this project by experimenting more with texturing and procedural shading.

Blender/Cycles advanced feature

I used depth of field to keep the character in focus. I created a simple rig to pose the character. I also enabled caustics to achieve realistic shadows underwater. I used cloth simulation to inflate the flamingo floaty. For the pool tiles I used shader node to procedurally generate the texture.

I used geometry node to generate the spikes on the pufferfish.
