    Voting is now closed.  Thanks to everyone for coming through in the clutch!  Results will be announced later today, assuming my left-brain number-crunching part wakes up.

    Your brain is unified!  laugh

    Thanks for running a great challenge.  I think everyone would agree that the entries are awesome in both quantity and quality.  Congrats, winners.

    Thanks Diomede!

     

    Here we are, at the end of another Challenge.  I will keep comments short this time. :)

    I have to say, I am struck by how easily this one flowed.  It made the hosting very easy.  Many thanks to all the artists for offering such great energy and enthusiasm., and for taking it seriously and coming up with extremely high-quality images.

    It amazes me that Carrara is so often an afterthought in the 3D world.  If there are questions about the current viability of Carrara software, the evidence is right here in this thread for anyone to see.  It's such a deep program, even without using plugins.  Personally, I'm planning on using Carrara for at least the next 10 years.  Maybe by then I will have learned most of its secrets!

    Thanks to the voters, to Daz for their sponsorship, and to Fenric for providing the PA prize. yesyesyes

     

    And now, the results.  Because of the rule that no artist can win more than one Daz prize, the results are usually black and white (pun intended), and this was no exception. 

     

    Best Participation - Evilproducer, (images 2,6,7) $50 in Daz prizes, and the opportunity to host the next Challenge

    Best B&W - Vyusur, (image 11) $50 in Daz prizes

    Best Pinup - Stezza, (image 5) $50 in Daz prizes

    Best Homage - DesertDude, (image 26) $45 in Daz prizes

     

    The winner of the PA prize is Vyusur, who gets an item from Fenric's store.  (all the entrants names were put in a hat, and one was selected by my wife)

     

    Congratulations, all!  I will send you a PM later today.

    The Daz prize results posted above are also the order of ascension to the throne for hosting Carrara Challenge #41.  If the heir apparent  (Evilproducer) declines for whatever reason, the next in line (Vyusur) is asked, and so on.

     

    Evilproducer, you are in the driver's seat!

  • evilproducerevilproducer Posts: 9,050

    Wow. Thanks everybody! There were so many outstanding and deserving images by great artists that I am truly humbled. If you learned anything and had fun with this challenge, then you were a winner!

    Congrats to the winners all !

    Entering was a great learning experience and I'm astounded by the various interpretations of the competition "theme " 

     

  • evilproducerevilproducer Posts: 9,050

    Hey all, I will be posting the new challenge at some point in the next few days. In the meantime, is there a little used function or feature you are curious to try? Maybe a little afraid to try? Maybe have used, but aren't quite sure how to het the most out of it? Then let me know! I will try and keep in mind Pro vs. Standard so that it is fair.

     

    Keep an eye out for the challenge. It will be legendary! Was that a hint???
    wink

    booleans

    do your booleans thing ... legendary King Arthur and the knights of the Round Boolean... hmmmm

    if only Caesar had used his boolean wisely..

    metaballs  wink

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,158

    I'm not really serious about the metaballs.

  • VyusurVyusur Posts: 2,235

    I avoid such modeling methods that don't give me a perfect topology.

    that's why I stopped modelling ;)

    Meatballs? Who would have thought?

     

    I vote for 'plugins' . There's plenty that are free and plenty that are not. 

    Looking forward to whatever  Evil awaits us :)

    I vote for modeling and rigging, but not for mandatory NPR in one batch.

    Metaballs had been on my mind as well... Don't know for sure.

    All I know is it will be epic! Oops! Did I give another hint? wink

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,048

    I remember when I was an ankle biter buying a shillings worth of mixed booleans ... devil

    Requiring the use of a Plugin of participant's choice would be great.  Could do several challenges just on Philemo's free plugins and not do the same challenge twice.  Plus, there is FLUIDOS.  I do realize not all free plugins are for both Mac and Windows, but there are several good free ones for both platforms.  For example, Sparrowhawke's chains plugin for vehicles with tracks like tanks should work in both.

    Sparrowhawke - http://www.sparrowhawke3d.com/TracksAndChainsPackagePage.html

    I'm sure there are plugins that other people use that I am not really aware of.  Would be good to see what is out there.

     

    EDIT: and Sparrowhawke's instance randmizer to add variety to replicated objects is another excellent one that is for both operating systems.

    Diomede, by a strange coincidence, I just used my first Sparrowhawk plugin a few days ago.  Incredible results.

    Several months ago, I was too overwhelmed to even think about plugins.  GMIC got my foot in the door.  Now I'm starting to see what all of the excitement is about.

    Whatever theme and constraints you decide on, evilproducer, I'm sure it will be great!

  • evilproducerevilproducer Posts: 9,050

    Sparrowhawke's jiggle deformer is great. And it is not just for boobs. blush
     

    Whatever I decide, I hope you find it super! Another hint maybe?!?

    I will try and get the rules together tomorrow and start the challenge then.

    Below is a test of the Jiggle Deformer (using boobs). cheekyblush
