@NewGuy yes, I used UltraScatter Matrix mode to create 9 vertical rows of 11 horizontal rows of Gnome instances, from a group of 4 actual mesh Gnomes. The shelf rows were created UltraScatter Matrix mode, too, from one actual mesh shelf. I had UltraScatter scale the Gnome down to fit all of those on the wall.
This render has been so popular, I think I'll enhance it with the Curious Christmas Gift and enter it in the contest. Is that OK?
Pas it around? You mean share my toys?
(These really aren't very good emojis)
Oh, how inconsiderate of me to suggest such a thing!
Dance Lessons
Richard wants to surprise and impress Lola when he takes her to the Daz Holiday Party, so he signed up for private dance lessons.
Gift Used: December 13 2024: Nelmi gifting Black and Red Fabric Iray Shaders
Such an impressive work here. That would be an acrobatic skill for Richard. I got a feeling I know who Lola is :)
I totally missed Lully's gift on the 12th too! Where was it? It is right up my alley with my love for shaders.
@barbult, Richard is having a ball this year.
@Muscleman your gift of those treats will be well received by the FilaToon crowd. Too cute.
Charlie, one of my gingers woke up this morning with his eye closed shut. His allegies to food struck again. Picky eater doesn't come close to describing him.
Thanks to the PAs for their Christmas freebies :-)
The advent calendar has been awful this year though - Michael 3 tunic, a poser garden tool, other poser files that must be older than DAZ Studio and genesis textures.... Last year there were wonderful advent freebies. The comparison to Renderosity this year is very very shocking - the Renderosity advent calendar is offering 2 or 3 free items each day, including Genesis 8 and 9 characters and outfits and i-ray environments, they've all been wonderful.
Every day I look forward to the Renderosity advent calendar with excitement - which is always rewarded - and have only been disapponmited by the Daz calendar so I don't even pick up the freebie and wont be buying things each day to get the freebies like I did last year. To make matters worse, I look forward every fortnight to the fortnightly DAZ freebies, usually nice Genesis 2 and 3 products, to find this fortnight the freebies section is empty.... I hope that that's not because of the Michael 3 and ancient poser content in the advent calendar. :-(
I love the ballet cat :-)
or going to one. Hmm, claws may be an issue in a partner dance - still, genial ineptitude seems popular on Strictly.
The link to it was in the sale page, like the others: https://www.daz3d.com/2024-holiday-sale
Abandoned
Thank you to Nelmi and Muscleman for the freebies.
I look for it on the sales page. But some mornings, I wake early and coffee doesn't set in and I think that was the day the new G9 core was released, so the pages were totally a mess from the normal format. I didn't know which page to look at for what and kept switching back and forth. And then waited till late in the day to buy and barely remembered. Failure to see I had no gift item was on me totally. Tired coming and going.
A cat is more than capable of pulling in his claws, if he wants to. My younger ginger, the 3-paw, was very hostile at first and would sliced and diced me but I gradually taught him to play 'pat paws' with claws retracted. Now he invites touching, brushing, rubbing, and yeah, I can still get scratched when we play 'monster under the covers' and I am not fast enough.
Richard's claws vs Lola's fingernails. Seems like an even match to me. I'm sure they will be careful and respectful of each other, as always.
+1
Thank you, I'm glad. At first I thought the mugs aren't modifiable.
Love it! And thanks to all of you like this year gift...Not modifiable? I'm not that bad! :D
Eat Dessert First
After a strenuous dance lesson, Richard sat down to a giant feast. Where to begin? Dessert is always a good place start.

Hahaha, I thought it only works with FilaToon because of the promo images. Glad to be wrong. Thanks again :)
Cute toon render! Unfortunately at first glance there is no meal for cats there. Had he followed me today, he could have Tuna Sushi and Shrimp Tempura.
He would have enjoyed that!
More practical gifts.
Now there is where a cat's (Richard's) claws come into play, swipping at the tops of the food, just as the guests are welcomed at the door!
Oh you are too kind! :)
Green Holiday Hair
Lola: I hope Richard will like my green holiday hair!
Richard: Gaaah! What happened?
Gift Used: December 15 2024: Color Galeria gifting CGI Christmas Headband for Genesis 9
Mike Toon is shocked when a brick flies through his window. Richard is trying to point at Mike's archnemesis ND Gudann just outside the window, but it is hard to point with cat paws.
Gift Used: December 15 2024: Nathy Design gifting ND Gudann Fantasy Shapes for Genesis 9
@barbult, definitely enter it into the contest!
Thanks @Laia, @3D_Sugar and @CosmoXpression for the poses today! Also, I've missed thanking a few so thanks to @Nelmi, @Muscleman, @Color_Galeria and @Nathy_Design for your freebies as well!!
