RRRR - It could be true - 5th anniversary contest

Posts: 13,971
Welcome to the fifth anniversary RRRR render contest!
Yes, it's true, the RRRR has been running for five years since it's first incarnation in the PC Members only forums. After about a year it moved to the commons, but now, after I've been told so, it has been moved here, to the Art Studio forums.
But the RRRR really has been running since the battle of hastings in 1066 hasn't it?. Switzerland does have a Navy. Elvis lives and works in a burger joint down in Harlem. Finland won the FIFA World Cup in Football in 2012, and England won the Olympic Ice-hockey tournament in 2010. The Nazis did build a secret base on the back side of the moon, and pig can fly.
The ida for the theme comes from the last winner, Luci45!
You guessed it, the theme for this contest is: I could be true
How does it work?
Make your pull of 4 items, pull your LBs (Luck Bastards), the current lucky bastard standing is below, and make some great and fun images, it’s not harder than that.
Who can play?
Anyone can play!
How do you prepare yourself for play?
The rules are very simple, but first you need to have all your items in some kind of order in a text file, dumped from the itemized history into a text file or a spread sheet. Remove things like software, gift certs, and special plugins from the list.
Then you use a randomizer to randomly pick items from your list (your Runtime/My Library) for your start pull . You can use items from any store.
Randomizer that works well:
Random Org
Randomizer where you get all numbers in one draw: random
There are some situations where you allowed to redraw, these are:
- You picked something that doesn’t work, broken thing, only works in a version / software not used etc etc.
- You picked a software or add-on to a software or anything you should have filtered out from the list.
- You picked only huge environment props and will not be able to render a scene without crashing.
- You picked an item you already have been using in two RRRR renders in this content and that was picked randomly. Three is a curse - rule!
Lucky Bastard Rule!
If you have sticky lucky bastards, you pull one extra item for each LB you have, simple as that.
Explaination of Lucky Bastards.
Lucky Bastards, or LBs, are a form of handicap system which makes the contest a little more difficult for those who have won.
Current Lucky Bastard standing
| Player | LBs |
|---|---|
| Totte | 7 |
| Luci45 | 2 |
| barbult | 1 |
How to play?
You pull, you compose and you Render. You post your images and pulls in this thread, but the entry should be posted in the Entries only thread
Bundles
If you pull a bundle, use two three complete items from it, or more if you like, but you do not need to use all, but only picking a hairpin from V4 Complete Bundle is “too little”. Clarification: A bundle still counts as only one pulled item.
Poses, Expressions and textures/colors
If you pull a pose pack, an expression pack or a texture/color pack, you only need to use one of them, not all. For example if you pull 500 expressions for V4, use one, if you pull 128 colors for Frappe Hair, use one.
Accidenty breaking the TOS
If your entry is removed by the forum mods because it accidentally, not deliberate, broke the TOS, you do not have to redo that entry but can move on and make a new pull.
The rules of madness!
Now you have successfully and randomly picked your items, make a scene, you can add other items as well but the one you picked should be prominent or cleverly used. Render it, post it and make us all laugh! Remember though that the renders must follow the TOS of the forum. As we have a theme on the contest, the render should in some way touch that theme. The TOS is very important as "It could be true" can easily be political and political renders might get terminated.
The contest categories!
There are two categories Best and Funniest. Every image will compete in both categories.
Contest duration!
It starts now at Monday February 20 - 2017, and will go on until Sunday April 2 2017 at 23:59:59 local DAZ time.
Yes, we have prizes, thanks to our sponsors!
This months sponsors so far:
Totte is sponsoring with one item in each tier from his store

DarwinsMishap is sponsoring with one item for their store (excluding DAZ Originals)
Luci45 is sponsoring with a $20 DAZ Store GC
barbult is sponsoring with a $20 DAZ Store GC
More to know?
I will edit this when new info on sponsors arrive.
Do you want to sponsor the RRRR?
Please chip in, sponsors can play, they are even encouraged to play!
Maximum number of entries?
In the contest, the maximum number of enteries are nine (9), nine is the number, the number is nine!
Are you ready to render in 3….2….1…..go!

Wow, it looks even doable, just 3 environment props that’s even possible to have in the same scene. And the R-75 Plus, look barbult!!
Ha Ha, Totte! You talked about it too much on Skype, and it came back to haunt you. Maybe that means I won't get it (for a change).
Sign me up for $20 sponsorship again, please.
Happy 5th Anniversary RRRR!!!!
I will be back with my first pull soonish!!

Chuck Norris Abducted by Aliens
During a birthday party for his son Alexis at his rooftop hacienda in downtown Los Angeles, where Alexis idol, the rapper MC MC performed, Edwardo Muchospesos saw a spaceship lift off from the great old cathedral. He knew for sure that Chuck Norris visited the cathedral that evening, and now he didn’t answer his phone.
@Totte #1 Chuck will never know what fun he missed. but maybe the spaceship just accidentally emitted an EMP and shorted out Chucks cell phone. or maybe the aliens needed him for a mission on their homeworld. good one!
Thanks, Gopherus and Totte (Yes,Totte, I should write children's books. I guess weird stuff won't hurt them. All I need is a story.
Well, thanks, I do get some ideas sometimes when I put a render together.)
Tottte #1 Wow, you got all those environments in. Poor Chuck. Maybe they should send Steven Segal to rescue him.

Prison Overcrowding Problem Solved
After the fiasco of Railroad Rodent Roundup Day, the rail cars in Hamlin, Oklahoma, were repurposed as prison cells, thereby alleviating the prison overcrowding problem.
@Luci45, ah... how refreshing it must be to have only 2 LBs. I bet that won't last long! You still managed to pack your image full of great items. I love that little sea nymph thingie.
@totte, you made the R-75 look great. Poor Chuck, I hope he enjoys his new planet.
Pull #2
Tag: barbult #2
Reckless Reptilian Ransacks Reykjavík
This just in: A young Viking, Gabriel, single-handedly (well, OK, he used both hands) restrained the reptilian rampage ransacking Reykjavík. His weapon ... not previously seen in these parts ... the illuminated leg lamp.
barbult #1 : That could almost be true, I bet you could make the internet believe it, love it!
barbult #2 : What a great homage to @Dumor3D leg lamp, and yes, vikings are tough people. Made me think of the old movie "Raven is flying". Ver er tu? Gestur! Dunkur Nivur! (Who ara you? Guest! Heavy Knife)
Pull #3
@Barbult #1 Follow that rat! He s making a break!! Well done!
#2 ROFL! You light up my leg! Good one!
Thanks, Totte, I couldn't just leave that leg lamp sitting on an end table, now could I? That would not be RRRR enough.
And how appropriate that I pull an item from one of our sponsors!
I think that rat is just getting a drink --- EWWWWW!
Thanks for noticing him, Gopherus. For some reason, I like rats in my RRRR renders. Not all renders, but many. It started with Thomas and the Cherry Trees series.
I m afraid I missed that series. But I ve woken up before to a splashing. The roof rats were playing tag after stealing an avocado. And one was looking at me crossly for leaving the seat up.
