RRRR - What can go wrong when moving
Ladies and Gentlemen, and anyone not fitting that description, the RRRR is back with yet another ground breaking, earth shaking, noise making, dead waking, reality faking, story baking and sanity taking render contest, the theme is choosen by me, Totte, and approved by last rounds winner in the funniest category, Tynkere.
RRRR stands for Random Runtime Roulette Renders, and it's a content that has been running for over five years and we invite anyone to enter. This is not the usual "make a very nice render contest" but more like "tell a really great story, often fun, with your render"!
The theme of this round is What can go wrong when moving, as two of the long time RRRR members, me and Luci45 still suffers from the pain of moving. I think we can bake "Craftsmen have their own time reference system" into this theme as well, as I'm now sitting in the noise of a carftsman completing the kitchen that was promised to be "completely done before christmas". But let us add just another twist to it. For any pull except the first, you decide a chain story item from any previous entry. That item will be a substitute for one of the pulled items, so list all the pulled items, then decide which item to substitute. For entry #3, you can pick from entry #1 or #2 etc etc, so the chain item can change, and come back later on.
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.

A reminder about the LB thawing rules.
(1) You will never pull more than 7 LBs, even if you have 12, never pull more that 7, seven is the number you never pull more than.
(2) You always lose half of the new LBs at every thawing (between rounds), this is to prevent the LBs from being too sticky.
(3) You need to make at least one entry for thawing to be in place.
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 contest categories!
There are two categories Best and Funniest. Every image will compete in both categories.
Contest duration!
It starts now at Friday Januari 18 2019, and will go on until Sunday Mars 17, 2019 at 23:59:59 local DAZ time.
Yes, we have prizes, thanks to our sponsors!
This months sponsors so far:
Totte (Code 66) is sponsoring with two items from his store
Dumor3D is sponsoring with two items from his store
RRRR is looking for more sponsors, so if you're a PA or just a happy person, please consider sponsoring, and sponsors plays for keep remember.
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! Sponsors also can vote.
Maximum number of entries?
I think for this round

I pulled something that is plausible to use, lol, people and clothing, a basement, furniture and a contanment tank, yes, what could possible go wrong ;-)
Pull #1
#1 - 1333 - Sixties Dinette Set
#2 - 707 - Horizon Redux
#3 - 818 - Lawn Ornaments
#4 - 1592 - V4 Bodysuit Unimesh Fits (I actually have the bodysuit and expansion pack, which is handy)
And my first Lucky Bastard is...
LB1 - 1332 - Six Feet Under
Hmmm... I feel an idea brewing...
Moving where exactly?
Pull #01
Backstab Alley
RM Angelica V4
Wicked Queen G2F
Toonimal Lamb
Other Worldly Wonder Fog V4 (LB)
a lucky draw..... lots of people, an innocent toon, and a nefarious location... this story wants to write itself!
Backstab Alley - I love to see what you do with it, a nice place to move to. Did you know that one of the texture options, on one of the walls, has a grafitti saying "Ulfnaar was here" ;-)
LOL! Excellent! I did not know that
I met a guy once who did texturing for the movie Last Starfighter when he was young He said that he hid his name in one of the textures. but when he went to see the movie, the scene cut just as his name was about to appear
And of course it's written with runes ;-)
And yes, fun story. It's fun to place or find easter eggs.
Pull #1 (Maybe my most insane pull ever)
Bull (Smith Micro)
The Tin Can
Courageous Warrior for Genesis 2 Male(s)
San Buenaventura
Superhero Training Gear (LB)
The Line Up (LB)
Our Little Farm (LB)
Dream Home: Dining Room Decor - Eclectic (LB)
Mobster Outfit for Genesis 3 Male(s) (LB)
Genesis 2 Female Creature Creator Poses (LB)
Sounds like a slogan "Insane pulls for insane people";-)
A good slogan - and also "guaranteed to enhance and increase insanity"
It appears that I never downloaded the Lawn Ornaments or Six Feet Under (I must have added them to my cart simply because they were free at sometime- I love the smell of a zero-price cart at the checkout in the morning!) - am I now contractually obliged to do so ?
(they, and the dinette set, are the core of my... 'idea' ... mwa! ha! ha! ...so I'm quite happy to download them ... sorry,I meant )
I somehow lost my office thing to do up my list, so I think I am going to have to sit this round out as well!!
A rules query - my first pull included the V4 Bodysuit Unimesh Fits .
But if I simply use the V4 Bodysuit on a standard V4, then I'm not actually using the V4 Bodysuit Unimesh Fits (although who's going to know - unless some idiot blabs... oh bu**er!)
So does the wearer of the aforesaid bodysuit need to have one/some of the extra morphs that said item supports applied ?
That is what we in Sweden call a "slamkrypare" (mudskipper), something that will slip through holes in the rules.
I actually found a way to use the 'Unimesh Fits' part of it, specifically the V4 Male morph. Here's my render for pull #1 - tentatively entitled "Finding Out Who Really Wears The Trousers..."
"Nightwatch" English-subtitles-style caption included in the image, so no explanation necessary
#1 - 1333 - Sixties Dinette Set
#2 - 707 - Horizon Redux
#3 - 818 - Lawn Ornaments
#4 - 1592 - V4 Bodysuit Unimesh Fits
LB1 - 1332 - Six Feet Under
( The 'Windmill Of Terror' was almost certainly subconciously inspired by 'What We Do In The Shadows' - imagine Mr Drac talking about it in the style of Viago/Vladislav...
"Sooo,you vant to know how my Veeendmeeell Of Terrooor verks?"
[raises an eyebrow and makes a little head gesture]
"Veeeeeell... ven a veeezeeetor arrives, I creeep out and hide behind the veeendmeeell.... eees kvite deeeficult becaaause ze veeendmeeel is kvite small.
Zen I start to turn ze handle - I need to use both hands because eees kvite rusty - after being outside in the rain for hundreds of years.
Eet makes an eereetating skveeking noise too... but zat's okay... because it's kvite creeepy noise.
Zen ze hands of ze veeendmeeell start going round and round...
no, zat's not ze scary bit - zat's just vot veendmeeells do.
I turn ze handle faster and faster and zen... a scary clown pops out of the top of ze veendmeell like a jack-in-the box... and vails... like a baaanshee.
Vell... it used to. But it vasn't designed to be left out in ze rain for hundreds of years.
Nowadays ze clown doesn't pop out... he veeeery slowly vobbles up and zen... sort of... flops... and ze noise is like vun of zose tin can toys zat you turn upside down and zey go 'mooooo'.
Like a cow.
But eeet's steeel kvite scary"

Great start 3dcheapskate!
Thank you - that one was fun ! So here's my pull #2...
#1 - 1638 - Verona Hair EXP Pak ...I have the hair (one of my favourites) so this is good
#2 - 1598 - V4 Elite Texture: Ariana
#3 - 140 - Beach Dress ...hmmm...DS only, Optitex dynamic cloth. Not sure about this. Maybe play with it in Blender...
#4 - 1469 - The Alcove
LB1 - 1411 - Stylish Bubble Dress Textures ...I don't have the 'Stylish Bubble Dress' so...
LB1 repull 1425 - Super-Physical Female Bundle
That doesn't look much fun, but I'll have to see what I can do.
Edit: Ooo! The bundle includes creature creator and creature wings ! Why does the phrase "Get out of my nest... you bitch!" spoken in a deep, sexy, husky Fenella Fielding (in Carry On Screaming) or Anita Pallenberg (in Barbarella) voice suddenly spring to mind ? And the beach dress now makes me think of the Soldiers of Sogo - i.e. nothing inside (a la Tynkere's Haut Pursuit last time...
Edit2: Ha! I think I have a way to use the 'Stylish Bubble Dress Textures' without the dress so I may not need the repull
Pull 01
190 - dForce Long T-Shirt for G8
301 - FWSA Tamara for Monique 6
775 - Wireframe and Hologram Shaders ???
363 - Holiday Nook DS
Bonus:
058 - Beach VolleyBall Set DS (again...)
091 - Capsces Poses for Minotaur 6

Lady luck wasn’ nice this time. Technical problems if try to make geo-shell and use the shader on it. You're not supposed to do that?
Crashes DAZ an ‘access violation’ or something. (See attachment.)
Long way of saying this might take some time to figure out.
@3DCheapskate
Windmill of Terror!” Sounds like something from Python’s “Holy Grial.” Good one!
---
Edit: didn't know I have 2 bonus picks not one. O_o
@Richard_Haseltine : This shouldn't be a problem should it? I think I've done that several times.
@Tynkere - I have a complete monologue running through my head of Mr Drac explaining exactly how his Veeendmeeell Of Terroooor works - spoken in the style of Viago or Vladislav from What We Do In The Shadows...
And here's my render for pull #2 - I even managed to use the original pull for my LB
Not sure of a title, but the caption would be something like:
"The fact that we lost the mesh for that lovely little beach dress of yours during the move isn't the really bad news darling..."
Edit (2nd image): Uploaded a new render that includes the missing hair..
Edit2 (3rd image): had to get a bit creative in adding the chain items because I no longer have the original scene...
"My little dahhlings, you've done eet ! Without err mesh she won't be able to put on any of err vampire unting outfits ! Eeen fact she'll be totally useless ! Now bury err mesh ere along with that stupid windmill"
#1 - 1638 - Verona Hair EXP Pak

I wouldn't think so - is it just that shader? I don't have it to test.
Pull 3 (I think this is more of a pullaver than a pull!)
#1 - 898 - M4 Elite Gens ...it appears that the DAZ Store search facility is too embarrassed to tell me where these are

#2 - 378 - Decorative Boxes
#3 - 645 - GIS Series Lights Bundle ...DS only, so I may have to do my first DS render for years... or repull, iaw Totte's 2nd post below
#3b - 617 - Genesis 2 Starter Essentials ...DS only - I don't use DSON - oh dear, repull again...
#3c - 184 - Breathe Deep ...Bryce scene - oh dear, repull... again...
#3d - 430 - Dread and Dead Helmets ...DAZ Store can't find it, but I know it's a Poser freebie from RDNA
#4 - 1729 - Xfrog Plant Sampler 3 ...Bryce only. But I think I have the OBJ versions too ? No fig leaves here, but thereis a prickly pear - ouch! (no OBJ, just Bryce OBP + Xfrog XFR) repull!
#4b - 994 - Millennium Horse Texture Pack 1 ...DAZ Store can't find it, I don't recall it, but I'll have a look...it's apparently the one with Bay, Brown, Chestnut, Dapple, Dun, Liver Chestnut, Palomino.
LB1 - 34 - Advanced Shaders 1.5 ...DAZ Store can't find it, but I know it's a Python script from RDNA
I see a potential problem... toast and tos... and never the twain shall meet!
But one of those decorative boxes could be the perfect place for Mike to store his toast - and I think we can already guess what's gone missing in the move...
I actually had an idea that might work with M4 Elite Gens - they wouldn't actually be in the render but they'd be an indispensible part of it:Mike opening a 'decorative box' with an old, well worn label on it saying "Mike's 'Toast'" only to find a prickly pear, and a horrified Vicky saying "Oh lord! If that's Aunt Hilda's cactus in your toast box...".
It appeals to my warped sense of humour anyway
Hmmm... one DS only item (lights) and one Poser only (script for Poser materials). I can't really see any way to use both
Edit1: Removed and repulled M4 Gens (Ouch!)
Edit2: Repulled GIS lights (DS only)
Edit3: Repulled Xfrog stuff (Bryce only)
TOS breakers must be repulled as you are not allowed to post images showing them (not even in a glass jar in an alien museum)
Done. How about the DS-only and Poser-only quandary? Which, if any, should I repull ?
Edit (after reading Totte's reply below): Ah - I never actually bother reading the rules
>> - You picked something that doesn’t work, broken thing, only works in a version / software not used etc etc.
Repull rule for either DS only or Poser only depending on what sw you wil use
Opps, my render is taking time.....
At 5 hours, 4%....

I told you the basement had a foul smell
When the four girls at the university got the opportunity to buy a house, very cheap, but they had idea what was smelling so bad in the basement. The old sign saying Secret Research Facility, they all thought was just a bad excuse for a joke. Eve, from Somalia, thought it was very cold in the basement, very cold.

I’d have never thought of putting character maps on a 2D plane!
“Sorry about the steamroller dear. I’m sure they have insurance for that kind of thing.”
@Totte
Those places are inexpensive and probably high turnover.
Cthulhu? Oh no no no! Never heard of him-- I mean it. Some sort of curry dish?

Meanwhile, I’m guessing you’re not supposed to use the geo-tool to delete all polygons but hands and lower forearms. Got the shader to work, only to find deleting might mess up the rigging for hands. Got some practice in with tools though.

Spirits Move (and talk) in Strange Ways
Tamara, Witch Doctor Apprentice, was dream-walking in the spirit world. Her Gran had warned her of the dreaded Minotaur-- a powerful totem in magic. Any chance encounter could go terribly wrong.
“Do not listen to his wiles or wicked ways child, for you may never awaken!”
In fact, Tamara learned that Mr. Minos was just getting on in the years. He didn’t get out much, and didn’t get many visitors.
In short, he liked to talk. A lot. As in Constantly.
“When I was your age we had decent telephones! How am I supposed to ‘press one’ on a rotary phone? Answer me that! Would you like more tea? They don’t make it like they used to. Reminds me of the time when...” (And so and so forth.)
Tamara listened patiently. Would Mr. Minos like to be a magical totem? Smite thine enemies on occasion? Tax free income! Mr. Minos readily agreed.
Thanks and lol @Tynkere ;-)
