Freebie Challange----December: It's Steampunk at the North Pole---EntriesThread
It's that time of year, again. You know the time. Credit cards are hiding in fear, hordes of mindless creatures are roaming the streets and the radio is spewing the same old songs.
Time to sit back, dust off that freebie collection, assess you're options and have a blast rendering.
This month's theme is: It's Steampunk at the North Pole...so, break out the the goggles and give the holidays a little twist.
Standard rules apply....read them here: Official Freebie Challange Rules
And, no discussion of a contest would be complete without a list of prizes, right?
First Place: $15 store credit from DAZ3D
Second Place: $12 store credit from DAZ3D
Third Place: $8 store credit from DAZ3D
There will be a special holiday themed steampunk inspired hat, made by me for all entrants (not available until around the 15th).
And, of course any other prize donations will be gladly accepted.
PS: There is a tradition of mini-contests during this month. More than likely there will be at least one of those, so keep monitoring this thread.
The contest ends December 31.
Any non-entry posts will be removed.

Title: Steampunk Santa
Setup and Rendered in: DS 4.7
Postwork: fixed some visible seams (on the tuxedo coat for instance, or blending the place where the hair and beard joined) and pokethrough, tweaked lighting/color palette to be more dynamic, added snow. All in the free program paint.net. The original render wouldn't fit in this post because both pics are very large. Will post the original in a followup post.
No-count items: Michael 4 and his Morphs++ addon, various primitives used to create the "reindeer" harness.
Freebies no longer available: Teresa Tyllo used to have a rusty camo themed texture resource freebie which I used in texturing the Adrian helmet and Hailey's Comet in the freebies listed below.

Here's the original render.
Wow, I didn't think I was going to make it this month! I tell you, the holidays should not occur during the holiday season! This was a really fun challenge for me and a lot of learning, starting with the Steampunk theme itself! Special thanks to Chelle the Cat for all the great information and ideas and to Chohole for that link to that awesome video!
Well enough about my story, on to the render!... Santa's daughter decides to "modernize" the family business... wait 'til daddy finds out!
