Most UNrealistic indigo render contest

Pretty self-explanatory, try to make the most UN-photo-realistic indigo render.


Rules:

Needs to be rendered in indigo
Preferably no post
1-minute super-noise images don't count, these are just renders that look unrealistic
This is for "un-photo-realistic" renders, not simply "unrealistic" renders, if that makes sense...



I have no idea if this'll go anywhere, but I've had this idea for a little while, and a recent problematic render inspired me to do this. I was trying to make a simple "gold ring on a table" test, (using Au.nk) and it came out as seen below.

(Yes, I checked the normals, blah blah... I don't really care about this scene, so I don't really need help fixing it. I'm now using it to start this contest. :wink:)

But it doesn't look TOO unrealistic, Simon Larsen...
And that human could be a puppet with such a paint on it :P
using a bug of Indigo is a bit unfair in my opinion, so for the moment, dougal wins :) (he tried to make a real scene, which came out unreal, because of the wallpaper...)

lol, then I'll make a picture of a Star Trek-fanatic with a girlfriend. Hahaha. :D

(I apologize if there's any Star Trek-fanatics out there reading this. No hard feelings. ;))

It's pretty hard to get non-photo-realistic images with a photo-realistic renderer.
I'd only know
1) bugs
or
2) impossible materials
And both are shown, already^^
I wonder, how'll manage the most unrealistic material :)
(And not only perfect mirrors, which are wrong but still look kinda right, but also wrong-looking materials like the wallpaper above :) )

Probably my render of a Nintendo Wii...

What's funny is that it originally looked better, but in the process of trying to improve it, I made it worse.

how did you manage to get such an ugly and strange blue floor with indigo?

Read the rules ;)
Noisiness doesn't count :P
The best choice seems to aim for unrealistic colours...

I didn't post the image because of the noisiness, I've picked that one because it was the least noisy failed rendering I found. :P I think it still looks unrealistic without the noise (just imagine it isn't there :lol: )
