Christmas Tree

This is something I started off in November 2022, and tried finishing it before Christmas as a fun little project. Ended up stopping it on January 24th, because I'd been working on it way too long at that point, lol. The Christmas tree contains a bunch of ornaments that I made from requests from my friends. One of my oldest friends wanted a simple skadoosh sign, as a reference to the movie "Kung Fu Panda". Another one of my friends wanted a flash ornament, as they really like the flash. Another one of my friends just wanted a meme engraved into a sort of wood ornament. Someone wanted "The Log" from Clash Royale, and someone else wanted a small little pickle at the bottom of the tree. I also made 2 little plushie ornaments as well. There's a troll-face ornament that one of my friends wanted me to make, which took much longer than it should've, because things kept going wrong, and Blender wasn't being cooperative. I also have my ornament, which I made using some particle simulations. It's supposed to be a sort of stylistic galaxy in a glass ball, and I think it turned out pretty well. I feel like I should've made the tree feel more dense with more ornaments, and added some other details in the scene, like an outlet and cable running from the tree, because right now, it looks battery powered, lol. The presents all use procedural materials, mainly using brick textures, and a glitter material I made, which is used in the gold and white presents, the skadoosh sign, and the red presents for the silver parts. I used the realsnow addon to add some snow onto the tree, as well as put some white bits on the actual material for tree itself. For the final render of this project, I actually had to get more RAM, because I'd run out of memory while rendering this. It was really fun to make, although a couple bits I could've definitely improved on.
