The challenge this month is to create an image Based on Music
- The intent is to make a image representing music for you.It could be an image of a band like Black Sabath, The Clash, Men With Out Hats, Josie and the Pussy Cats, It could be and individual playing in a Bar such a local talent or someone like Lenard Cohen. How about Boy Goerge or any of the newer performers. It could also be a portrait of them performing.
The intent is to allow some of the newer users to Carrara to create and display thier artwork from Carrara
- Feel free to interpret the theme broadly.
Basic rules will be:
1. - Participants must use the Carrara to set up and render the Image.
2.- Must be Musically based.

4.- Postwork is allowed, but must not be the highlight of the image.

Postwork: Rendered out the first standard render, along with mulltipassesofr the background layer, shadows, volumetric passes (for hair), depth. In Photoshop, used those to create an opacity mask and a displacement map. Then started a new Carrara scene on a dense mesh vertex plane with the displacment map to give a bas relief style.
