Am I allowed to enter in I won 3rd or any other place? I have an Easter render I'd like to enter. And maybe a April Showers bring May Flowers entry next month since I like that theme too.

Saphirewild

Yes you can enter up to 3 enteries, so you can post both here this month.

EDITED TO ADD: You must include our Vendor of the Month in your renders as well which is Wilmap. plz read first thread post.

I read that but I made a mistake last month and didn't know I was supposed to include a KindredArts product in the render from last month. I thought they were just a sponsor, sort of like SixDs. I will include a KindredArts product in the April Showers bring May Flowers next month just for the heck of it and of course whoever the sponsoring vendor is from next month.. Sorry.

SixDs

I'm certain Saphirewild will correct me if I am wrong, nonesuch, but I do not believe that there is any requirement to include one of KindredArts products in your renders. For those months, such as this, where there is a "vendor" spotlight on a freebie creator, renders must include at least two (2) products from that artist. This month it is Wilmap.

I know, I was refering to the render I did last month. March, when KindredArts was the freebie sponsorer.

Please indicate the Wilmaps products with an * as the site needs a login.

Listing the DS Beta is a bit funny as we don't see the progam itself as a freebie but there are still enough freebies and not too many bought ones so please move to entries after adding the *

nonesuch00

OK, thanks

Saphirewild

It is always good to make sure what the rules are before you enter your render Nonesuch00, but you are not required to put any of KA products in the render just Wilmaps this month, also it was Feb and it was Niceshoe's freebie vendor.

Hello nonesuch00! Welcome to the contest.
I can understand your confusion on how to list the props you used in your render.
Over the last 10 years the rules have changed depending on who was in charge.

Here is a guide on the format of how to list everything. (unless Saphirewild says no.)

NO COUNT: This is were you list all the base figures and their basic morphs. This includes DAZ figures & Poser program content.
Gen3, Gen4 & Genesis. For Genesis, this includes all basic morphs & clothing packages. Check to see if it's listed as free this week.
Sketchup warehouse models:
Although the models are free, the amount of work to convert them to a Studio friendly format differs from model to model. Converting most .fbx & .3ds models can be done in seconds. Converting .skp to .obj may take hours. You must use either Sketchup or Blender with a plugin, to convert it. Then you may have to take it into a modeling program to fix normals or texture zones. The general consents of the DAZ freebie community was that because of the work involved to use Sketchup models, it was not fair to the new users to allow them to count.

PAID ITEMS:
Any prop, model, character morph package, clothing item or outfits & texture mat sets or shaders packs that you paid for. And anything else except software used in making the render. If you paid cash for it, it goes here.
This may also include bi-weekly freebies that aren't free this week. Check the DAZ freebie listings.

FREE ITEMS:
If it is free and it has a valid download link it counts. Free items without a valid link should be listed, but don't count.
If you can't find a current link, check the Internet Wayback Machine. You might get lucky.
This includes models, props, character morph packs, clothing item or outfits, texture packs, shader packs & background photos.
All free items except software goes here.

SOFTWARE:
All software used in the creation of the render either free or paid goes here.
DAZ Studio, Poser, Brice, Carrara, Blender & etc.
Render programs like Reality & LuxRender  
Photoshop, Paint.net, Gimp, PaintShop Pro, BlackSmith Paint & other paint programs.
Sketchup, Hexagon, 3ds Max, Poseray & etc.

Make a note on any item that requires site registration, or if it's a required item.
The idea is to make it easy to read and give full credit on everything.
The above format is what I have been using for years, it's my personal opinion of how to do it.

As always, review the official rules, then look at previous entry posts to see how they were done. 
And remember, if your not having fun, your doing it wrong.

The Freebie challenge never used to be stickied at all.  Part of the challenge was keeping it on the front page of the forum.  It was only the few months that the CVs were running it that it got stickied.

DAZ 3D Art Freebie Challenge April 2017
LET'S SPRING INTO EASTER!!

"Easter Monday Folly: Free* Chocolate Eggs!" (* No purchase necessary)

The story:
Easter Monday, the amazing & dazzling Space Easter Bunnies are giving away free chocolate Easter Eggs as a promotion stunt. Kerenza-Belle and Michael-Luke decided to go take a look because one of the Space Easter Bunnies (Riley) is a colleague of Kerenza-Belle. "I got you a blue one Michael." Kerenza said. Michael, already overstrung, just wants to go home and read the book about The Asperger Syndrome he is holding...
"Look daddy, there's the real Easter Bunny!" the little girl shouted and she blew a big chewing-gum bubble. "No honey, that's a hare." (Dad wasn't really looking, something more attractive took his attention...) "But the real Easter Bunny actually is a hare daddy!" little Marissa replied. Her little brother is a bit shy, "Would you like a red chocolate egg you handsome little young man?" Riley asks. "O, my basket's over there, I was wondering where I left it." Keira (the Space Easter Bunny with the purple hair) thinks...
