I hid not only the legs on G2 female, but also the cage on the caged cart. I re-textured the tower using Sha’s shaders. I think that’s a freebie as well, but I can’t remember where I got it. I also changed a few diffuse shaders on the gun, and the plants.

This is such a great idea! It seems to work for her. I love the hair...so cool. Good freebies.

ENTRY ACCEPTED.

GrapeGrandpa, thanks for your entry. I like how the textures are laid, you can almost feel the rock. I'd only kindly ask you to edit your post with the image and copy the links into it, add the link to the rope and delete the second link to Soto's Flat Top Hair. Last, but not least, please write which items require registration. Then the entry will be eligible for acceptance :).
Tramp Graphics, you did a really good job on lighting. It looks as if there were candles lit on the other side of the wall. You have many freebies used. However, I feel that there could be less empty floor on the lower left side of the image. I never understood ninja popculture, but I guess you know what you do since there are many renders of yours with this theme. What is a bit troubling is that the arms - well, they look as if he had gauntlets on them (you know, if it wasn't for your description, I would never guess the theme). Thank you for submitting it.

They're cybernetic prosthetic arms from the Cyberpunk for M4 set with a black Supershine shader applied. Before getting that, I had been using combinations of gloves as his cyberarms. a good pair of cyberarms should look like real arms, except metal, and these certainly do. As for the lighting. There are six lanterns spread throughout the dojo—one in each corner, and one each one the left and right sides. All have linear point lights in them.

cecilia.robinson · August 2013

My second entry focuses on all those people with physical disadvantages that excel in science and culture. Think of prof. Hawking or Jamel Debbouze for instance. The most difficult thing was to catch a good spot - Dreamlight's environments are cool, but very big and therefore a bit difficult to find a good place for the models. Another issue was with the wheelchair - teen version is posable, but the model was too big, so I used the adult version, but it wasn't posable. That's why the graduation gown on the main model is longer (I used Gwyneth Gown, because it's nicely posable). All clothes have my own shader applied (red 39, green 39, blue 39 is you want to recreate it). I also adjusted colours of hairstyles a bit. The frame was entirely created in MS PowerPoint and the texture is from the clipart gallery of MS Office. It was then altered using some tricks on saturation, hues and temperature to resemble wenge wood.

After struggling with the personal nature of this handicap (NOT!), I decided to create and post it anyway. It should require no explanation, even though the disability itself is not a physical one. Nevertheless, this handicap is real and its effects are glaringly visible. Those bandages were mine, the pills will always be in my own handbag, the scars under those bandages will always be in my own skin, and the smell of the psychiatric ward is forever in my head after a grand total of nearly 2 months within those walls. I understand this may not receive points with the judges for not being a PHYSICAL handicap, but it is my own disability and it is one I fight daily.
For some of us, the act of embracing life makes one a superhero. Just deciding to breathe is another one of those everyday activities that most people take for granted.

Oh, this must be either cutting or slashed wrists. Not easy. I never heard of the former until a few years ago.

I think the Morphs++ is a no count, but I'll leave the final say on that to Music.

Dana

6. Morphs will count toward a purchased item, unless free with a working link to them.

:-)

When did that change? You used to allow Morphs++ because so many characters depended on them, even free ones. I've been out of this for too long if I didn't notice this change.

Nice lighting. And nice touch with the eagle there. It gives us an idea of how high she has climbed.

I would have bulked up her arms a bit...if she has been climbing like that often, her arms would be quite muscular.

Other Freebie:

Cecilia, this is a wondeful render. The lighting is exceptional and so realistic. The way you have the group kinda off to the right, showing the potted plant, would be just like someone whipping up a camera, or cell phone and snapping a nice quick picture of the moment.

It was actually decided on back before the new site changeover. We just copied it over from the old one and gave it a sticky on the wall. No changes made on this rule that I know of. I don't think the Morphs++ were given with the Daz program, maybe they were a paid for add on...I am not sure, but I don't think they were free.

Hooray for Jeeperz! We kept our fingers crossed :).

Luci45, the best thing of that image is this lovely T-shirt. It sums it up perfectly! I also want to praise how well you managed to fit the hairstyles to those hats. Fitting a headwear onto a hair is always tricky. Good job. Yes, Cyclorama is not free nowadays, but you still don't exceed the purchasable limit. Please add information on which sites require registration and that's all.

Star Books, I really like you post more than one pictures in the thread despite the fact you might have missed out with the first one. Now, your entries are better and better - that's exactly what we as judges want to see! I like how the reflections are laid. The ball looks realistic too sinking a bit, yet floating. If I were you, I'd add some plants and/or buildings in th background, because the panorama is a bit empty. Good job too! Please add information on which sites require registration and that's all.

Music2U4U, thank you so much for your opinion and acceptance. I was overjoyed to see somebody perfectly understands the feeble way people use cameras during important events :P! I love photography and use my little camera quite frequently, but blurring is always a problem.

To all entrants: please speak up for the texture case I have been mentioning before, I don't know your answers on the prizes. Thanks in advance.
