    @Alberto - Eradicating diseases - that is a great interpretation of the theme.  Excellent modeling.

    wow Alberto that's wonderful and left field!! (lateral thinking)

    Thank you, Diomede and Headwax!

    I added two figures, Genesis 2 male (a little boy) and female (the nurse).

    The idea is to focus in the vaccination itself:

    I used dynamic hair for the hair and the eyebrows.

    Although it could be much easier to use metaballs in this case, I used Fluidos wink (well, this way I can find bugs and other issues in Fluidos)

    pretty brilliant, once you get that lighting happening it will sing - great to use Fluidos :)

    Extension.

    minor.

     For those of you you rushing for the deadline, please note that the effective deadline is extended 8 hours to 8am Daz Utah time on Sunday, March 24th morning.  That is when I will have woken up, had some coffee, and have started my day.   I don’t feel like staying up late just to close the thread, and I assume no one will mind the minor extension.  

     

    Love the progress, Alberto and DesertDude

    I take it an extra 8 hours won't make the difference?

    Hopefully, another time soon.

    the dry bones.

    this is the render.

    i enlarged it and used filter forge's oil and pointalism,

    multiple sizes.

    then back to pd howler to adjust and merge them.

     

    superb piecce of work there shlomi

     

    headwax i liked your #44 challenge entry #12 skeleton rampage.

    and wanted the same look. so:

    a terrain with mainly a terrace filter, and a bit of higher island in the low part for the muscle m4. 

    3 surface replicators;

    m4 skeleton on the low flat parts, below the island.

    muscle maps m4 on the higher flat parts.

    and a group of fire plus bulb on the low flat parts.

    and a volumetric clouds.

    Resurrection of Victoria One

    This is my second time to use V1 in a Challenge, so I guess this makes the resurrection official. smiley

    However, I discovered that this version of V1 (which comes in the Mimic Lite package) is not the "full" V1, but rather a low-res NG version.  Still, it works for me.

    The people are V1 and M3.  Shirt is M3 everyday wear.  Goggles come from B25 Steampunk Aviator.  The set is The Mad Lab, with some alterations and additions in the model room.  Carrara processes include, aura and text.   GMIC was used, as always.  No postwork.

    This is as much as I could get done for this image. Pretty simple modelingfor the most part - just some boxes and cylinders made in the Vertex Room, textured and assembled together. The two main robots have IK chains for their arms. A few of the objects have Aura enabled under the Effects Tab. The one industrial robot arm has a Bulb attached with some Light Effects turned on: CrossScreen, Glow and Stars. Industrial robot arms are textured with Anodized Aluminum from Carrara native content. I rendered the background robots serperate from the foreground and added a subtle Curves filter to each in post.

    Thanks Headwax and Diomede for hosting the challenge!

    Alberto - final render looks superb

    UB - very nicely placed straps on Vicky - looking good

    DesertDude - love the Toon look, hope that leg's mending well

    Some great last minute additons!

    UB - that V3 image is not just great it, could almost be your signature piece.  You are the master of the older generation figures.  yesyes

    DesertDude - so much fun.  I'd love to see those models in an animated short.  Very expressive.

     

    I am headed to the Entry thread to start the voting process.  Thank you to Andrew for such an inspiring theme, and an interesting change of pace (more serious).  Thank you to everyone who participated or visited. 

    Please vote in the Entry thread.

    I think that you meant V1, but thanks, I really appreciate the comment.  My experience is that with very little tweaking the old figures are just as useful as the new ones, at least for 95% of the renders I do.

    Thanks Stezza.  You continue to set the bar very high.  My grasp of Carrara tools is much less than you imagine, but your words are appreciated!

    Another great Challenge.  Thanks to HW and Diomede for all of their work in making it happen!
