*closed* RRRR - "Build it and they will come" Render Contest
RRRR - "Build it and they will come"
The RRRR is back from a summer filled with Shakespearian insults, and this round will be a normal RRRR Rould. The theme is Build it and they will come.
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"!
We will not add any twists now, but the twist is, a twist, or several, might be added along the way. See it like a TV series or movie plot twist, suddenly something happens that turn things around, shake it up, put things in new lights, you now what I mean. So, suddenly, or not, a contest twist might, or might not, randomly or not, happen or not. That twist, if it happens, might or might not, add something fun to the rules.
TWiST #1 (2019-11-05)
Any pulls from now on, until further notice - you can replace one pulled item with a character used in a previous RRRR entry from a previous RRRR contest. You should link to the previous entry in you entry in the enrties only thread.
So now it is "xxxxx built.... "
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.
Current Lucky Bastard standing
Recalculated with everyone, including non-participants, dropping off as last contest didn't use them, only "two lucky bastards" here.
Player |
Current LBs |
---|---|
Totte |
2 |
Luci45 |
2 |
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 Sunday October 20 2019, and will go on until Sunday December 15 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
Luci45 has contributed with $25 DAZ GCs.
RRRR is looking for more sponsors, so if you're a PA or just a happy person, please consider sponsoring, and sponsors can play for keeps 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

In the Land of the Cyclops…
Arak built it! A huge 3D Imax drive-in. With the aid of 3D glasses the images pop off the screen. Amazing! He knew an audience would come to experience the wonders of 3D. Unfortunately he built it on the planet of the Cyclops. In the land of the blind, the Cyclops are king. In the land of the Cyclops, 3D somehow lacks the impact that it has everywhere else.
Haha - superb!!! So much effort by Arak and so little gained.
Thanks Totte. If only he had done a marketing survey he would have built it in the land of the beholders. Then he could have cleaned up charging $5 for each pair of 3D glasses. But he would have had to build a 360° screen.

TWIST!

So now it is "xxxxx built.... "
Now that is quite the TWIST!
Oh, no! Then Big Ronnie will surely return...
Why is that a oh no? I would say oh yes!
O-Kaaay! (He has financial backers now.)
