Oh, this could be a really fun theme! Might as well have a dream vacation since I can't seem to get my act together to have a real, proper one!
Saphirewild,
A question please. I looked, but finding anything in the forums but that is next to impossible, and it isn't covered in the rules so here goes. If a downloaded freebie is in one part but includes many other items, are each of the items countable as freebie? Also, is a purchased item that has many parts and it is used as is, how is that counted. Example, the fairy nook, purchased, has lots of items, a flower, grass, moss, ivy, and rocks. If you use the whole environment, is it one or many purchased items. And for a freebie, such as the Noname Doll, it comes with hair, cloths, shoes, poses, ect in one zip. Are these one freebie, or many. Sorry to such a bother, but I thought it should be cleared up, at least for a newbie to this contest like me.
Thanks
LOL! Sounds like me!
Hi BronzeDragon,
Great questions. Unless the rules have changed recently, parts of a single Freebie or purchased download have been only counted as one item. In your example of the Noname Doll, using one or all items used would only count as one freebie. Likewise, any parts of a purchased item with multiple parts ( like the the Fairy Nook or the 99 office props product), would only count as one purchased item.
Since Saphirewild is busy with RL, I'll help out this month
So as to answer your question if you get a freebie with many parts and you use several of those in one render this is counted as only one item
for example you have a freebie shader preset with a lot of textures and you use 5 of them in your render this will be counted as 1 freebie item for the challenge
I hope that answers your question, I'll try to help if there are more
giving you a little show with my dream vacation, this one is a bit older (and not made of freebies) but still ym dream vacation, so this is NAE
Amazing!!
Have you ever seen a dragon sunbathing?
That morning, Alex and Clara found the beach strangely empty. Only after finding on the water's edge a dragon statue, the two children began to play. They created a sandcastle, and Clara climbed the statue pretending to be a princess kidnapped by the dragon. Alex put on the bucket like a helmet and brandished the spade like a sword.
Clara: "Save me, brave knight!"
Alex: "Evil dragon, I order you to free the Princess!"
Qydaryss, the Red Dragoness, in the meanwhile didn't dare to move an inch: since when were human cubs so brave? And why was she the villain? She was there to sunbathe, not to kidnap princesses! But playing with human cubs wasn't so bad.

"I caught one!"
Not my idea of the perfect vacation, but we are going to the lake this summer and expect that my kids will want to go fishing. My friend once said that her husband's dream vacation was to be off on his boat fishing without her.
(Post worked version just tweaks the color balance and adds a signature.)
Doesn't count: Genesis 8 Male, thin water shader (comes with Studio), plane primitives
Paid: Not really paid, but I used Photoshop to create the ripple map around the base of the docks. I'll share it with the community eventually, but for now I'm too lazy to do so :-)

Yeah, I haven't caught a fish in 20+ years, of course, I also haven't gone serious fishing in that time either! LOL!
Beautiful water render! Excellent work... and thanks again for sharing it!
Ah, the fearlessness of naivete... where are these kids' parents! LOL!
What an great original idea and wonderful execution.
NAE or not, it is still a gorgeous render! Love it!

3D Art Freebie Challenge June 2021 "Dream Vacation"
[Best watched at full size for details.]
"Not what they had in mind..."
Starring: Ellie and Riley
The tale:
This is definitely not what they had in mind, what they dreamed of. A clean and fresh new trailer in a beautiful sunny meadow is what Ellie and Riley expected and that is what they paid for. After sleeping outside all night on the way there and waking up dirty, cold and wet, all they want is to go home. Ellie still can't believe that nice couple ripped them off like that and Riley is pretty angry and wants to make them pay some sort of way for what they did...

Agreed! Very organized. I can't even keep track of whether or not I downloaded something in the past... I usually figure it out when my computer asks me if I want to replace the files that are already in my Content Library.
Rome and ice cream... what more could you ask for in a vacation!
Really nice work with the shadows with the HDRI background. What did you use for a shadow catcher?
I didn't know that Eblank closed her ShareCG account. I wonder why?
Thank you both for the compliment @Linwelly and @Sky77!
I've been using DAZ Studio since day one and I quickly realized that if I didn't organize the Content properly, things would quickly get out of hand and become uncontrollable. So I keep a text file of what I've installed and to avoid downloading things twice I save the bookmarks in a folder called "Already downloaded". For me this works well. Very occasionally I download and install something for a second time. Nevertheless there is still proliferation in my content library. Severe sprawl even...
I used only the hdri. Thank you!
I saw Eblank's textures disappeared and she's posting at Renderosity now, first she did it just sometimes, she preferred ShareCG, so I think something is happened...
All freebies approved, please move to entries
thanks a lot for the info @JackyBrown Maybe one day you can publish a compilation :D

Peggy untidy hair (freebie, no longer available)
I'm pretty sure that should be just 2 paid for items. Otherwise, the opposite would be true where I could put 5 copies of the same freebie as my "minimum of 5". In the past, copies or parts of any single product, whether paid or free, were still counted as only 1 product.
Nice twist on the "dream" theme!
Thank goodness the locals appear friendly. Though, if I saw a green, 2 foot diameter flying bug, I'm pretty sure I would be running / screaming in the opposite direction!
