"Swimming pool" Challenge - Hive Stock Images
Hi,
today for this #Hive #stockimages #challenge I wanted to create the swimming pool scene, seeing no entries from users in the comments, I created a 3D scene.
Since the input was a generic "Swimming Pool" (Olympic #swimming pool? Children's garden pool?...) I wanted to do something surreal, modeling a swimming pool with a giant toy duck bullying the swimmer.
Since I think I'm running out of time, I sped up the process by reusing the model of a free lounge chair I had in my backup and a 3D generic character whose arms I repositioned.
Materials and textures are obviously 100% free (CC0) and I own two plugins used for realistic water and global illumination.

I put some screenshot here:

Hope you like it (I probably went off topic...useless #free image), but it was fun :)
Ciao!
We let the challenge roll over, so you are certainly not too late. I love the concept. The giant duck certainly is imposing.
I made some changes, probably a more useful result for user posts now, without the giant duck.

I've been thinking about upgrading my own backyard pool setup lately to make it more enjoyable and low-maintenance, especially after seeing all these cool pool shots.
One thing that's helped me a ton is digging into real user experiences before buying cleaners or parts so I don't waste money on stuff that flakes out after a season.
The Polaris Pool reviews have been super eye-opening for me when comparing robotic cleaners and accessories, since folks there spill the honest truth about durability and performance in actual pools.
Awesome challenge post—keep the watery fun coming, it's got me motivated to hit the water more this year!
