Welcome to the March 2014 Freebie Challenge: Just Like the Grownups
Just Like the Grownups
The March 2014 Freebie Challenge
"Careful the things you say,
Children will listen.
Careful the things you do,
Children will see.
And learn."
- Stephen Sondheim, Into The Woods
How often do you see children copying what the adults in their lives do? This month, we'll see them throughout the challenge!
Show us a pre-teen, or two, or more, acting like the grown-ups do. Are they pretending to be grown-up? Are they helping out the older folks? Are they dressed up, or just in the clothes they usually wear? That's up to you - but they have to be front-and-center in the renders.
THE RULES
The Rules are in the usual thread, except that I'm exercising my powers as host to require eight freebies, not ten.
Special Rule: Since this month's renders must have pre-teens in prominent roles, for this month only, the pre-teen characters in the DAZ3D store - ChibiBel, Nana Original Chibi Toon Figure, Toon Boy Sam, Toon Girl Sadie, and Sadie and Sam for Genesis - are considered to be "no-count" elements. Their morph packs, if any, still count as paid items as per Rule 6. (Matt, Maddie, Kids 4, and Genesis Basic Child already were no-count elements according to Rule 3. And, of course, Decoco is free.)
A Word to the Wise: The forum's TOS says "Images that contain depictions of children are especially sensitive and will be reviewed even more strictly than other such images." I do hope this won't be an issue this month.
THE PRIZES:
As usual, DAZ3D is giving GCs to the creators of the first-, second-, and third-place entries, and Jaderail is giving GCs to all of these folks plus the Honorable Mentions.
Once again, Mr Sparky has stepped forward with a gift of the winner's choice - any one product with only his name on it at Poser Direct. This will go to the first-place winner.
tiggersprings has donated an expression pack for 3D Universe's Dennis:Essentials. All of the Winners and Honourable Mentions will receive this gift.
fictionalromance is giving the top three winners advance copies of the "Lower Class Vintage Dress" for G2F. See here for more information: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/37797/P75/#564612
And trumarcar has donated an outfit for K4 - "Just Like Mommy". This will be going to the top three winners.
To recap:
First Place: $15 GC from DAZ3D, $20 GC from Jaderail, Expressions for 3DU Dennis by tiggersprings, Lower Class Vintage Dress by fictionalromance, Just Like Mommy by trumarcar, one item of your choice by mrsparky from Poser Direct
Second Place: $12 GC from DAZ3D, $15 GC from Jaderail, Expressions for 3DU Dennis by tiggersprings, Lower Class Vintage Dress by fictionalromance, Just Like Mommy by trumarcar

Honorable Mentions (×2): $5 GC from Jaderail, Expressions for 3DU Dennis by tiggersprings

NAE - at least, not an entry for this month's Challenge. Folks who've been around for a while may remember this from the August 2011 Freebie Challenge.
"If mommy can do a grand jete, so can I!"
Such cool topic just after I uninstalled DS to free up some space... Poor soul :P.
This is a really cool theme. I have an idea but I have to figure out how to pull it off with freebies.
NAE: Not enough free stuff in here...and not going to add more, besides it's an older scene that I was just playing around with to test various shader settings.
The backdrop image, the gown (and it's a rather bad conversion at that) and the hair are the only 'countable' items. Genesis is sporting a custom sculpted morph and a no longer available skin...the backdrop plane, tissue and other stuff is all self made and not up for download...
I call it..."Look mom, it fits!"

If you need a judge I am more than willing.
Title: "When I Followed Daddy to Work..."
Setup/Rendered in: DS3A
Resized/Saved as Jpeg in: Paint.net
Neutral items: A3, H3, K4 and their morphs, Vyktohria's Gingham Shaders (freebie that is no longer available), Quiet Place (freebie on a rather NSFW page of the host website that I don't feel like linking to), Shoes from the H3 Etienne clothing set (not visible enough). All poses are modifications of ones that come standard with their respective characters.
Paid items: Marielle Hair (on K4), The Hunter and the Hunted for Aiko 3 (human skin used on H3, vampire skin used on A3, cross props also used).
Freebies:
1). Kirk hair (on H3): http://www.sharecg.com/v/38664/gallery/11/Poser/Kirk-Hair
2). Miranda hair (on A3): http://www.sharecg.com/v/38653/gallery/11/Poser/Miranda-Hair
3). Rosina for A4 (skin used on K4 via uv-swapping): http://www.sharecg.com/v/32890/related/11/Poser/Aiko4_Rosina
4). Swan bench (retinted): http://www.sharecg.com/v/57236/related/11/Poser/Swan-Bench
5). Annette (morph used on A3 w/ modifications to her physique): http://www.sharecg.com/v/18754
6). Inola (headmorph used on H3, blended with Horatio): http://www.sharecg.com/v/38069/gallery/21/DAZ-Studio/Inola-For-A3
7). Captain Horatio character and clothing set (headmorph used on H3, blended with Inola): http://www.sharecg.com/v/24124/gallery/21/DAZ-Studio/Solar-Federation-Set-Part-1-Captain-HoratioH3
8). Vex skin shader (used on H3): http://vex-3d.com/dazstudio-tips/skin-shader-light-set-for-ds-22/

10). Dynamic Summer dress for K4 (bottom left corner of page): http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/FreebieDownload05.php
11). Dynamic Burqa for V4 (upper right corner of page; used on A3 with homebrew, unreleased texture): http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/FreebieDownload14.php
12). REC Weaponry shaders, used on crosses with minor tweaks to the ambient channel to make them stand out more: http://redeyecat.wordpress.com/2013/05/04/rec-weaponry-for-ds3-1/#more-64
Your link labeled "Still Life" is pointing to "Prince of Tides", and "REC Weaponry shaders" is pointing to an index page that starts with "REC Plushie Shaders".
More importantly, it's extremely difficult to see the shoes H3 is wearing - they blend into the shadows so much that it's difficult for me to tell where they end and the cobblestones begin. But you have enough other freebies to qualify anyway.
ENTRY ACCEPTED. If you could edit your post to fix those two misplaced links, I'd appreciate it.
Winners have been announced in the February contest.
Okay now I can turn my full attention to this month. I have lots of ideas so which one to choose!
Sorry about that :( I had forgotten that REC's website was wordpress based, and that there were therefore individual pages for the freebies. I don't know what I was thinking when I put up the Prince of Tides link, but both have now been fixed. I also shifted Etienne shoes to the "neutral item" area. Thank you for hosting this, it looks like a fun theme.
Just as long as his daughter's name is not Buffy, everything is fine...
Well, we're off to a good start! My daddy, the vampire slayer! :-P
Dana
It's too soon to announce who or what, but I can say that at least one member of the KCTC is working on something... Keep watching this space.
mjc, Dana: heh, thanks, it's sort of inspired by a scene from the old monster movie Horror of Dracula, where the (bachelor) vampire hunter saves a little girl from a female vampire, and it made me wonder, hey what if he was a dad? :D

What items are those? Can you link to them?

Hair is Koz's Messy hair... http://digitalbabes.jp/

The rest, including the morph still reside on my hard drive...
When I host, I don't like to enter - I've known the theme for a lot longer than everyone else, so I have an unfair advantage. (Or so my reasoning goes - I know other hosts have other views on this.)
So I'll just say that I suspect somebody could do something appropriate with this:
http://www.sharecg.com/v/74921/browse/11/Poser/Desk-and-chair-for-children
You're too hard on yourself, Robkelk. As a host/jury member, you'd not be eligible to receive any prizes (I guess). I'd love to see some renders of yours.
Yes I totally agree. The man with the most amazing freebie link database in the world!
silly rob.... *throws several creme pies at him* hosts don't get to enter, only the judges. *walks away with one leg longer than the other after having my leg pulled on that one* *sets out an assortment of pies to toss, and several more in boobie traps to see if anyone is paying attention.... and then runs off laughing*
Mmmmm... moon pie...
And I have posted a render. It's NAE - I submitted it to a previous Freebie Challenge, so it's already had a chance at winning - but it's there on the first page.
Hosts... have other compensations. (I have a lovely Poser guitar - a Fender Mustang - that music2u4u gave me just because I asked, and because I'd hosted in the past. Good karma builds up.)
...now this one sounds like fun.
is this where we post work in progress pieces, or is the thread the official submission??
this will only be my second contest, but i like the theme of this and would love some input.
i will have the first draft by tomorrow.
