Wow! Two first-timers and two really great renders at that! A warm welcome to countrygirl4ya and JesterVII. Hope you enjoy your little stay at our asylum. You realize, of course, that once you start this you're not going to stop. We expect to see you every month now.
Both pieces are very impressive with the composition and the action displayed. Very much a comic book action feel to them. Very nice use of shadows and shaders. I'm beginning to see a few more possibilities using this technique.
Looks as if this contest is starting to heat up a bit. Glad I'm not entering anything more and only judging...
Nice futuristic street fight! But you forgot the required item from most-digital-creations.com. I'm sure there's something there that you can put into the scene without changing it much. It's a worthy entry.

(edit for gramar)That's up to the people running it, but it should be as far as i can tell. I'm not a judge.
Well here goes nothing. First ever entry into a contest.
Well, this is a righteous contest to enter. The folks here are nice ... for the most part. (Gotta watch that fool from Hawaii. He's not always nice. But then, he doesn't always have all his marbles.) On the other hand, the Freebie Contests sometimes come across as making the Mad Hatter's Tea Party seem perfectly sane. That makes them even more fun.
All work done in DS4.5
Kewl! It would be interesting to see how it stacks against 4.0

Nice & neat & tidy ... well, in a messy sort of way. The messy that a good fight scene always brings. LG's the comic expert so I"ll defer to his wisdom but I do like how this came together.

Oh, OK. There is an M4 Beard here at DAZ3D, too. Since you didn't put a link, I thought it was a paid item. So, all you have to do is put the link to the item, or if it's older and it doesn't have its own page, put a link to the page, and tell how far down it is on the page. At least, that's how I understood the rules. That's an easy fix, though! ;-) Just edit your post to put the link in.

Takeo.Kensei your render qualifies.
I went to the renderman.org training material and read over the equations that renderman needs but how did you translate those instructions into DAZ? Did you build a brick and pulled it into a shader. I sure wish there was more documentation on how the brick gets created. I have my eye on some gooch shaders that I would like to use. They are uncompiled renderman scripts and I am not any good at taking that information and translating it into DAZ speak. Do you have this capablility? Love your shader by the way.
Lonnie
Thank you Dolly. The rendering system used by DS is 3delight which is Renderman compliant. Which means that most of the code should work for 3Delight and therefore for DS too. In practice that is not exactely true and you need some coding skills and have to read both Renderman and 3delight Documentations to get it working. You also may need a bit of knowledge of DS scripting and know how DS works to implement your shader. So basically, I can do the job of translating it to DS but I didn't do that much yet as I didn't see many shader that really interrested me and the one that do interest me are not useable as is in DS because one need to write DS Scripts before in order to get a compatible workflow. Till DS4.5 there was no scripted Rendering so I was kind of stuck for what I really wanted to do. So I mostly read RM docs, tips and techniques to understand how it works waiting for the day I could eventually apply them for my own shaders.
Now if you can't code, you may also use the shader mixer but you still need some understanding of Renderman and hope that the bricks provided by Daz are enough. Not as straight forward as in Shader Builder. But if you give me the links to the shaders you're interested in, I may do some translating someday :)
Nothing wrong with mathematical but I look forward to seeing how you develop this. You definitely have gotten my attention. Whether this is good or bad depends on point of view. ;-)
Didn't say it's bad ;) and tastes are subjective. There is not many "hatch" renders so I guess that makes it at least interresting. What I'd like to achieve is something that looks like Bernie Wrightson's style that I find awesome. Have a look at some of his art here. There is also Rosinksky's Thorgal that I'd like to mimic with a shader. I don't know yet wether I can do that but that is in my head. I may fail but anyway I'm a dreamer
Takeo.Kensei I really like your render. The shader looks awsome ;)
Thanks Krissy :) It seems the shader is appreciated. I may think of packing it with usable presets and release it.

Note to JesterVII
As a courtesy to your fellow forum users you need to be more clear with the links you post.
For an example Adam at most-digital-creations.com has 46 pages of free stuff for DAZ-Poser users.
The link you posted was for his ad at Renderosity.com, not his site.
What is worse, the link at Rendo is to Adam's front page not the page the beard is on.
I found the beard near the bottom of page 29. http://www.most-digital-creations.com/free_poser_poses_textures_morphs_props_29.htm - beard 17 down
So please, in the future, be kind to your fellow DAZ-fiends and have a nice day!
Ok countrygirl4ya, you have a qualifying render. A nice action going on there and it is girls, yay!
One thing though, one of the requirements of the freebie contest is that if the site requires an account to download the freebie then we need to indicate that in our list. I use an asterisk but you can use anything you want to denote registration is required to obtain the files. I just love Terry's work. Some really nice outfits.
Check your PMs for your entry prize and welcome to the contest. Hope you will play with us for many moons.

Your welcome Takeo. I know a little bit of the process for getting shaders into a scene. A shader uses a set of bricks, they can be the ones DAZ supplies or they can be ones you create or buy. I know that DAZ uses scripts that can call sdl files which I think are the "compiled" files that are the equations and instructions for making generic shaders such as toon, shadow, plastic, skin, velvet, etc. For surface shaders, DAZ has three scripts, the dbm file which we call the shader, and then the two dsa files, surf and def. I think Shader Builder is the sdl creater but not sure about that and opening up the Shader Builder is like standing on the edge of an Esher print, you know the one with all the stairs going nowhere.
So my desire is to create a gooch brick (Mike King's to be listed in Shader Mixer so that I can play with it and see if I can do something similar to the old jlgShaders like these: http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/postimages/origimage_5_1022736.jpg

Hello Proxima Shining, nice to meet you. Your render qualifies. Bishounentaurus shaders look fantastic. So what is the Mayor going to do. Looks like a "whoa, wait a minute kind of moment".
As for your two identified issues:
First one, how to keep textures and apply a shader. You hold down the cntrl and alt keys at the same time you double click on the shader. DAZ will bring up a box called Shader Preset. On the Options tab there is a box next to Map Settings: You want to select ignore. DAZ defaults to Replace unless you use the special key stroke.
For your next issue not getting the laberizer to work on the prop. I think it is because it is just a simple plane with a transmap applied. The labelizer needs an object that is more substantial than a primative plane. Better defined faces on the object. If you play around with the second set of conversation balloons I listed in the Batman and Batson render it will work. You do have to be careful not all objects are mapped the way labelizer needs it to be.
Thanks for participating. Love to see more of this story! Check your PMs for your entry prize.

Visual Style Shaders by Bishounentaurus http://www.daz3d.com/shop/visual-style-shaders/
(except the flag, I don´t know how to use a shader on it without losing the texture - any ideas?)
Postwork:
Adding text (couldn´t figure out how to add it with mjclabelizer so that the text would be positioned in the blurb properly).
Thanks Krissy :) It seems the shader is appreciated. I may think of packing it with usable presets and release it.
I second that!
Hello Proxima Shining, nice to meet you. Your render qualifies. Bishounentaurus shaders look fantastic. So what is the Mayor going to do. Looks like a "whoa, wait a minute kind of moment".
As for your two identified issues:
First one, how to keep textures and apply a shader. You hold down the cntrl and alt keys at the same time you double click on the shader. DAZ will bring up a box called Shader Preset. On the Options tab there is a box next to Map Settings: You want to select ignore. DAZ defaults to Replace unless you use the special key stroke.
For your next issue not getting the laberizer to work on the prop. I think it is because it is just a simple plane with a transmap applied. The labelizer needs an object that is more substantial than a primative plane. Better defined faces on the object. If you play around with the second set of conversation balloons I listed in the Batman and Batson render it will work. You do have to be careful not all objects are mapped the way labelizer needs it to be.
Thanks for participating. Love to see more of this story! Check your PMs for your entry prize.

Note to JesterVII
As a courtesy to your fellow forum users you need to be more clear with the links you post.
For an example Adam at most-digital-creations.com has 46 pages of free stuff for DAZ-Poser users.
The link you posted was for his ad at Renderosity.com, not his site.
What is worse, the link at Rendo is to Adam's front page not the page the beard is on.
I found the beard near the bottom of page 29.
http://www.most-digital-creations.com/free_poser_poses_textures_morphs_props_29.htm - beard 17 down
So please, in the future, be kind to your fellow DAZ-fiends and have a nice day!
Ouch sorry. Went with the first link I could find. I forgot all of Adams link where to the front page and not to the item.
That's kind of what I was trying to get at, but not so wordy. Some of his stuff has individual pages now so you can put a direct link, but I'm not sure if he started doing that before or after the beard.

I love it! Collection time! :lol:
Dana
Thank you. As you can see I still have a lot to learn about posting taking all the tips I can get...lol Cheers!!!!
Not to worry. I got so paranoid that I created a whole database just to make sure I got all the t's crossed and the i's dotted. I believe you would call that overkill but I keep Music happy cause he likes us to follow the rules!:cheese:
Ain't that right Mr. Musicman? Where are those pies when you need them?
Congratulations Cho dear.
:-)
Welcome Jester to the challenge. For a first entry, you did real good. I think you understand how we do this very well. This entry is a regular free for all fight...lol. Its hard to get a lot of people in a setup and get a nice render, but you did real good with it. Some great poses and placement of the characters. Some real nice freebie links also. Thanks for entering the challenge. Now start throwing some pies!!!!
:wow:
