Ah ok, ill wait for a definitive answer then :)
I am so used to Lux and the way lightening works, that working with anything else is a whole new learning curve again ><</div>
Thank you for playing in the challenge Estroyer. We love having you. Here is the answer to your question. The Lux render engine is used mainly here along with the Reality plugin. The host for this month has made this stipulation for renderers:
Renders in any free renderer should be fine, as well as in DAZ, Poser, Bryce, or Lux, as long as you provide the link. Renderers do not count toward your freebie count.
Hope that helps you.
Thanks again and let's see what you can do.
:-)
Thanks and I'd love to chime in :)
My english may be failing me here, but in your answer you say that lots of people use Lux or Reality and then you ppoint to the rules where it states that only a free renderer may be used.
It confuses me, because Reality isn't free :)
For now I might go and wrestle with Lux then...
I just found out that Luxus and Lux are two different items. I did not know this. So, unless the Luxus renderer is free, you can only use it as a paid for.
I know this is OT, but the death toll in the Philippines may exceed 10,000 from the worst storm in history. That is 5 times the lives lost in the World Trade center tragity here in America. All in a single storm. This makes one realize just how fast it could all end for us.
So....count your blessings folks and give thanks to God for what you have now. Don't ever take life for granted and live each day like it could be your last. Most of all though, take time tomorrow and stop and smell the roses, and if you have a child (or relative), give him/her a big hug and tell them how much you love them, even if for just a moment, then give thanks to God for them.
...It would be wonderful if someone did a character for M4 or Genesis of Hickok. I read Mrs. General Custer's description of Hickok and I can see why the ladies all fell in love with him, big, tall and comely. He had a way with the words too. I feel my efforts are way to amateurish.
You might be disappointed. What we think of as handsome or pretty is not the same as years back. It gets worse the further back you go. From what I've read, Cleopatra was not all that by today's standards. When they said he was handsome, it might have meant that he still had all his hair and teeth. :lol: I could be wrong. Are there actually photographs of him? ...yes, there are!
Dana
I think he is handsome even by today's standards but he is more than that. Too many accounts and descriptions of encounters with the man point to the fact that he was bigger than life. Quick, intelligent, good reader other men. He was ruthless as well as compassionate. The night before he was killed he won all of McCall's money but at the end of the evening he gave him some of his money back so that he could eat the next day. Ahh if only I could get in a time machine and go back and see if he truly was as interesting as I think he is.
#2 says its "wet rock" but goes to "ear ring collection" at Renderosity... this then takes you also to Adam's site...there is no wet rock on the page so this link is no good.
#8 is the ear ring collection above, but the rules state that any item used MUST BE CLEARLY SEEN WITHOUT HAVING TO BLOW UP THE IMAGE TO SEE IT...even then, I can't see ear rings, so it can't be an accepted item.
#9 same thing...can not see any nose piercings at all even with a blown up image. No good.
#14-15-16 Your last three all go to the same page, you can only use a page link once, so these three will be grouped as one link.
That makes your freebie count now 11, one over the qualified amount, so you still qualify.
If you can fix the links and find the "wet rock" link, you can claim it. Still can't accept the ear rings and piercings because I can't see them even with a blown up image.
One more thing....we always mark any freebie links that go to sites that require registration to get the item. Many use astriks the state that that means site that requires registration. Please go back and mark the ones that require it. The Adam Thwaites site does not require it, if you want to change those links, the Renderosity ones do and really are not even needed.
The host will tag this entry as ACCEPTED or not. It is up to him.
This is why we have rules in here, so please read them carefully.

Here is what I found with your links.
#1-2 You have two female characters listed but only one female. The male you listed as Nick for M4.
#5-6-8 You have three pairs of pants listed but only two in the image. I see the Cargo pants on the guy and the Jeans on the girl. I do not see #5.
#7 are textures for the K4 Basic wear shirt, yet I do not see any textures on either shirt.
#10 are textures for the Funky touch outfit which I do not see in the render.
#12 are textures for the oriental slippers they are wearing. These textures are very bright colored textures yet both your pairs of slippers are very dark gray or black.
#14-15 are the same page link. They both together can count as only one link.
At the end you listed the Basic pack with Genesis twice...?
Also you listed a men's style boots, yet there are no boots in the render.
This is what I found when I checked your links. If you have used some of these on certain items, please list where you used them so we can understand.
Also...you must label any sites that require registration to get an item by marking them with an asterik or something.
This make it 9 good links, not enough to qualify. I will have to let the host decide if he will accept this entry because it is so confusing, I don't know which items are actually used and which are not. I can not clearly see them if they are or maybe I am missing something.
To all newbies here, we do appreciate you coming in and entering, just be sure to read the rules good before you post links. I do understand that there will be blotches sometimes, and please in no way, get your feelings hurt or not enter. We all learn from this and some of the regulars are experts on how to list things and keep within the rule guidelines. Even they may help you if needed.
I, in no way, want to single out anyone, nor make you think I do not like your art or work. I do, however, want it to be fair for all. So if I "critique" your entry, please use it as a learning experience, change what you can, and let's all have fun with it.
Once again...thank all of you for entering and thank the Daz team for their generosity and sponcership. You guys are the greatest!
I did not keep the links when I originally downloaded free files. I did not think I would need them in the future. Now I am going back and trying to find them all.

What we usually do is update the post with the corrected list (you're allowed to update your post a couple of times) and mention in a new post that the original post has been updated. No need to re-enter if you do that.

I find tracking down the origin of the freebies and searching for the links as much as a challenge as making the render itself XD
Too true. I am trying to remember to save the links of new downloads in an Excel file for future contests. :)

Likewise. I also find it as much fun as making the render, because I do my best to avoid relying on ShareCG, Renderosity Free Stuff, and RunetimeDNA Zero-Price Items. (Not that I don't use those three sources; I just enjoy the hunt. My render idea is currently sitting at four freebies and one paid item, none of which are from those three sites... I may break down and use the "easy" selection soon.)

just my thoughts on it.
:down:
Actually, 3.3 times...not 5. It was 3,000 lost on that day. Still, this is terrible for a storm. It was a Cat 5, but more powerful than Katrina.
By the way, there are no roses to smell...growing season stopped here a week or two ago. I'd have to go to a florist.
Imagine how many lives would be lost and how much damage would be done if one that powerful hit New York City. Sandy was a puppy compared to this one!

Thank you. I loved the theme for this month but I had a hard time coming up with a concept.
Also...now they are saying there are over 600,000 people displaced. Lost their homes.
Now they are saying the death toll STARTS at 10,000. There are many more.

Your first link (Cliff Face) is an Adam Thwaites download from Mostdigitalcreations. We try to get the closest link possible here in the challenge.
Don't know why it says 3DC in the name, but here is the correct link:
http://www.most-digital-creations.com/free_poser_poses_textures_morphs_props_24.htm

#2 says its "wet rock" but goes to "ear ring collection" at Renderosity... this then takes you also to Adam's site...there is no wet rock on the page so this link is no good.

#1-2 You have two female characters listed but only one female. The male you listed as Nick for M4.
#5-6-8 You have three pairs of pants listed but only two in the image. I see the Cargo pants on the guy and the Jeans on the girl. I do not see #5.
#7 are textures for the K4 Basic wear shirt, yet I do not see any textures on either shirt.
#10 are textures for the Funky touch outfit which I do not see in the render.
#12 are textures for the oriental slippers they are wearing. These textures are very bright colored textures yet both your pairs of slippers are very dark gray or black.
#14-15 are the same page link. They both together can count as only one link.
At the end you listed the Basic pack with Genesis twice...?
Also you listed a men's style boots, yet there are no boots in the render.
This is what I found when I checked your links. If you have used some of these on certain items, please list where you used them so we can understand.
Also...you must label any sites that require registration to get an item by marking them with an asterik or something.
This make it 9 good links, not enough to qualify. I will have to let the host decide if he will accept this entry because it is so confusing, I don't know which items are actually used and which are not. I can not clearly see them if they are or maybe I am missing something.

Star Books has 10 freebie links cause I found the free dystopia link for Star. So Star meets the required number of freebies if Star adds the dystopia link.
