I love this idea! And it reminds me of a song...
Can we use a banner like in the May challenge?

oh you made on @mding ! I was still marvelling at hylas criptic notes on how to make it, that's great, please use it, yes!
Thanks a lot!
edit: just copying your lines didn't work, not sure what the problem is but I added the images and the link manually now,
Thankyou @Linwelly!
The code is from @Hylas, I just copied the new Links into it.
Did you forget to click on the "Source" Button before pasting it, because thats what i did last month at first lol.
One Problem still: somehow you removed your TAIDUO banner...
that might have been the thing I missed to do.
Don't worry about the Taiduo banner I will put it up after this freebie challenge, maybe more people will actually notice it when it changes every now and then
hahaha... I thought, let me just write some simple instructions...
Then I looked at the word salad that was my own writing, and I was like
... which is to say: Thanks, @mding!
Well thank both of you for the challenge! Atm i am not participating as I am relying too much on bought items, but i love scrolling through the renders and having a look at and sometimes downloading the freebees, of which you have created now with the help of the participants an impressive collection - great job!
@mding I have a similar struggle, I need my props to be commercially usable which many of the freebies don't do, or just with reference. Which is relatable but keeping track of which ones do would kill me to organize
so since you enjoy following the challenge, if ever consider joining the team to host a freebie challenge, let us know via DM @me
Wow, thankyou! Atm i am too much of a beginner, but in the longer run sure that would be an honor to support this great project!
you guys still remember this?
We do. Just busy with other render contests/life at the moment
As a newbie to the forums I got a bit overwhelmed with all the challenges that are out there.
This does sound like an interesting challenge and I have a nice idea for it. Glad that I'll have plenty of time for it.
oh nice to have a new face showing up here, yes it can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but you will get used to it. Let us know if there are any questions
It's now past the middle of the month. I guess I'm not the only one having a problem figuring out what to try to render this month. Unless I missed one, I don't think there have been any entries. If this dry spell keeps going I won't have one either. Can't seem to come up with anything. Good luck.
What? Remember what my dear? :D "O how can I forget this? ..." Sandie Shaw - (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me (1964) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx5otxLS3qc
Only 3 of the 8 weeks have passed, so there is still plenty of time. I have some nice ideas that I'm slowly working out, I think I'll definitely send in at least one render this month, perhaps even more. I hope for strong competition... ; )
I went down the modeling rabbit hole. I'll think of something... :-)
The Secret Life of Betsy
This mare likes to throw parties. I'm not super happy about the quality of this, I couldn't get it to be what I had in my imagination. I think it's the stolid farm animals. They're so wooden. I even put bones in the sheep and goat to try to make them turn their heads, but it looks stupid if I move them too much. It made me realize how sad the situation with the number of free animal figures with moving parts is out there.
Paid: Daz Horse 2; wood shader on beams, (also, I think the light shader on the primitive was a freebie from a newsletter, no longer free)
Nice first entry, I will have to change the idea I had because I only just noticed the 5 bought products...
So I'll change the scenes I had made and will use mostly free items instead of the other way round.
I have another one in the works (because why not) but I'm sort of stuck on how to get it to fit the theme exactly. It's more like, what happens in secret rather than a secret life...hmmm.
Lets have a sneak peek into the secret life of Miss Tate.
There are so many good stories for this scene, let me know what you think has happened here!
Paid items used are
Freebie items used are
p.s. I've added the original pictures for your viewing pleasure
Ha! That's so funny! Anyone hearing "Centerfold" by J. Geils Band?
I could be wrong, but I think you have to list your paid freebies, too. Also - those jeans look familiar...
Oops, missed that requirement. glad I didnt use many bought items,
I notice that besided the jeans I also missed references for the sweater and the lipstick.
Probably because those were already in my freebie library instead of recently added for this challenge so I'll have to search for the links.
One of the most challenging thing about this challenge was keeping track of what items you used and all the links to them
@perlk It could very well be that they are yours, I think it was something like "open fly jeans" but ill edit tonight.
Must admit I find it takes at least as long to compile the list as it does to create the image. Using an Android tablet as my internet connection machine at home does not help with copy, paste & hyperlinking of web addresses.

Richard
Yup, I'd recognize my husband's jeans anywhere, ha ha! (I used it as the texture.)
^ This.
Jup the jeans were yours, I have added all the links to my library now so when I ever need to reference the sourses again I can check my library for them since it is hard to keep track of what is used.
The Secret Life of Witches
What mysterious place do witches really get their supplies?

Nice one, but as a store owner for a witch shop I would have bought closed baskets, look at all the merchandise escaping :D
