Freebie Challenge JUN/JUL 2023 - Holes, Gaps, Caves, Tunnels - Main Thread
Riddle me this: What gets smaller the more you add to it? A hole of course!
Doughnuts have one hole, Swiss cheese has many. A space traveller may fly through a black hole to reach a distant galaxy, an accountant may discover a hole in the yearly budget. Environmentalists sound the alarm about the hole in the ozon layer, dad keeps having trouble with the third hole on the golf course. Have you ever loved someone so much, you can feel their absence like a hole in your heart? Or perhaps you just want to lay back and listen to the great 90es alt-rock band Hole!
This theme will run for two months, untill July 31th
The Rules For This Months Freebie Challenge are:
1. A minimum of (5) Freebies must be included in your image along with Links to the freebies you have used. For an item to be considered free it must be offered as a freebie for the whole month. The exception to this rule is all Daz Bi-Weekly Freebies will be allowed throughout the entire month in which they are free as well as the month following their release as a freebie (For a total of 2 months). Also, if a freebie is broken down into multiple downloads/links/parts (IE like if the freebie is broken down into 3 zips etc...)it only counts as 1 freebie, not 3.
2. There will be a Maximum of 5 purchased items.
3. Base figures (All Gen 2,3,4, and Genesis 1,2,3) as well as their general morphs packs (Morphs++ and similar) do not count as a purchased item or a freebie and may be used as needed
4.Your Rendered Picture must be a new render and postwork is allowed but you MUST include a before and after Postwork versions of your entry in the Entry Thread.
5. All DAZ 3D Programs are allowed (IE Bryce, Carrara, Daz Studio and Hexagon) plus Poser for the contest.
6. All entries are subject to the Daz3D TOS Found Here: Terms Of Service
7. You may enter a Maximum of 4 Entries per month.
8. You may edit your entry as much as you like in the main thread but once it is posted to the "Entries Thread" it may not be further modified. Also, if you edit or add things, be sure you update any links or freebie changes you make.
9. The use of image generating AI technology (midjourney, stable diffusion, etc.) is not allowed. The use of items (freebies or paid) that have been created with such technology is also not allowed. We realise it's not always easy to tell; let's all use our best judgement, and you can always ask the person hosting the contest if you're not sure.
This Freebie Challenge will end July 31th, 2023 @ 23:59 Daz time.

Everybody wanting to support this contest with a banner please insert in Signature Settings (Source button activated):
Thankyou!
Thank you!
Hmmm will it work this time lol
@Hylas: no problem!
@Faeryl Womyn: ATM the website has like a hickup. I also couldn't upload the banner in the forum, and judging from my two tickets not being answered poor customer service is having a hard time, too, so i guess we got to take it as it is...
I was able to do a forum upload today, but if it doesn't work, upload your image to your gallery and hotlink it!
... or just upload nothing and say that's your entry. It's theme appropriate, and it's certainly free
oops, misunderstanding, sorry.
Great concept for a contest.
Well the link shows up even if the picture doesn't, will have to make do with that for now.
Is there really only emptiness in the cave or ?

Fallen tree trunk is giving me a 404
It's available at https://freezone.thefantasiesattic.net/aelin/fallen-tree-trunk-ps-ds
Don't know if it counts as a bug with the forum code but if you add more than one space after a non-linked URL then when the forum code auto-adds the link it tacks a space on the end and so the link becomes broken. Happened to me when I posted my entry last month :(
Hylas , is it ok now ? did you manage to open the link ?
SofaCitizen thanks

Entry is approved, please move to Entries Thread, and fix the link while you're at it!
Hi mindseye5, welcome to the forum and our contest! Great that you're joining!
I'm afraid I can't approve your entry just yet.
- Please link to all freebies you used. There have to be at least 5.
- Items that come with the base DAZ Studio program are No Counts. You can have as many No Count items in your entry as you want, but they don't count towards the minimum 5 freebies. I believe Basic Hair, Charm Hair, and Newport Outfit all fall under this cathegory, if I'm not mistaken.
- which means your entry currently only has 4 freebies... then again, I wonder about the phone the lady is holding? Maybe that's a fifth freebie?
Please make the necessary adjustments!
Entry is approved, please move to Entries Thread! Also, please add a title!
I can't get anything to attach to any of my posts so I can't post my images! I tried over several days, still not working.
Anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
I checked my image size, it isn't too large for upload, it should be working.
Correct. It's a pain. And there is something odd with the forum at the moment. Very few people can get uploads to work to the forum.
There are several ways. Put the image in the gallery & link to that, put the image up at Rendo & link to that, or PostImage etc. Basically store it anywhere that'll allow you to link to the image.
Regards,
Richard
Upload it to the DAZ gallery and link it!

3D Art Freebie Challenge June-July 2023 "Holes, Gaps, Caves, Tunnels"
My first entry for this double month, the second will follow soon...
[Best watched at full size for details.]
"No cavities! :)"
Starring: TaylorLasha-Angelie
The tale: (Entirely fictional)
"I believe I've seen a huge hole at 48 buccal, and that's like a cave for bacteria, I have to poke it with this dental hook pick to see if it is really a cavity." the dentist joked. "Whod? Wreely?" mumbled TaylorLasha-Angelie. "Nah, I'm just kidding, don't worry, no cavities as always! Well done!"

"More than two million tiny little holes"
Starring: TaylorLasha-Angelie
The tale: (Entirely fictional)
"Well, here we go! Are you ready for it? Please move your arm a little more towards me and try to relax some more. For a first tattoo you have chosen a very large one, most people choose a small one to start with. I think setting the lines alone will take two hours or more..."

"More than two million tiny little holes"
https://www.daz3d.com/gallery#image=1298622
Edit: Posted this in the wrong thread initially, sorry for the newbie mistake.
Everyone deserves a good laugh once in a while, right?
Now y'all can have a good laugh on my expense.
When I read the thread, I had this image in mind of a wrecking ball punching a hole in a building ... only I failed to find the assets to fit my imagination.
While searching, I ended up scraping the bottle of my freeware archive, unearthing a few assets that were created in the mythical era of the early 2000s.
The result might not exactly be prizeworthy, but, like I wrote initially, I think it's suitable to give you an opportunity to make a little fun of me. Keep it within reason.
The title of the image, slightly adapted from the initial idea, is: Let's punch a couple of holes into this.
Here's a list of the assets I used:
