The contest is over and the winner is 10Replies

See below for the full results.

In case you did not know we have contests here on the meta from time to time.

Before the hats are all packed up for another year, lets do something fun to make them last just a bit longer.

The objective of this contest to is model and render a hat (or more then one), but not just any hat, a hat from the Winter Bash. All the hats are laid out here. Keep your hat as close as possible to the original.

Some rules:

  • Use Blender. (duh)
  • Keep it nice, nothing a reasonable, average person wouldn't want to show to a five year old.
  • Include .blend file, we want to learn from each other, and yeah we want to check that you really did make it in blender.
  • You can edit/change your submission at anytime up until the deadline (1/11/2017 UTC 00:00:00z).
  • Late entries are not counted, but you may as well post it (not like there's a prize)
  • Only one entry per person
  • Downvotes will not be considered when picking the winner

Winner:
This is a popularity contest where the entry with the most up votes by the vote cut off deadline (January 14, 2017 at UTC 00:00:00z) wins.
The winner will get bragging rights, and not much else. Except for the knowledge you gathered from trying something new.

Deadlines:

All images must be posted (as an answer below) by January 11, 2017 at UTC 00:00:00z.
Only votes before January 14, 2017 at UTC 00:00:00z will count towards the winner.

At or around January 14, 2017 at UTC 00:00:00z this post will get updated with the winners.

The winner is 10Replies with his "First Responder" hat. congratulations!

What year is it? Does your hat tell you? I didn't think so. High quality hats. Produced by a modern noise free high quality factory.

Now you can know what year it is

HAVE A LITTLE DREIDLE

With under a day to work on this since I leave tomorrow, I’ve decided to take

Keep your hat as close as possible to the original.

very literally. :D Iḿ not sure how i managed to do poorly at such a simple model, but when you have the kind of lack of experience that I do, itś easy!

Dreidle

That being said this is probably the laziest and suckiest entry to this contest, but whatevs. hope you enjoy. I also uploaded to sketchfab if you want to see the model in 3D but don't want to

Either way, enjoy! have a happy new year. (I tried making a video of me modelling it, but only was able to capture about half of the process because I'm stupid. I will add that to this thread as soon as I edit it.)

Just Here for the Hat

I rendered it using blender internal. Modeling was the easiest part. I spent most of my time on the lighting. After lots of trial and errors and after using about a billion lamps I got it to look like the hat. Anyway, here it is.

And the .blend:

Amped Up

Haven't worked on many other projects other than just one model for the past few weeks so this was a nice little thing to do(and leave until the last minute to complete) I've never done this sort of art style before either.

Amped Up

Rendered in cycles. Couldn't get the handle bar to look the same, as it had some weird lighting in the original, and also the original was slightly more warped.
