    Much is now explained, thank you for the summary (I need to get caught up on my diary, so it will be very useful).

    I far behind the best of you in the #CarryGiftsOlympics, but every gift is fitting in the bucket, without overlapping each other and Lacey still has a bit of space to breathe:

    ‘Are you sure we didn’t forget anyone? I see a little space between the two plushes…’ said Lacey, feeling a bit cramped with all the Christmas’s gifts loaded in Victoria’s parents bucket bike.

    ‘Told you we didn’t need the car,’ answered Victoria, keeping an eye on the vehicles around her.

    Thankfully, the bus driver behind was at a safe distance and didn’t try to pass her.

    ‘Well, but next time, I’m driving and you’re crushed by all the gifts…’

    ‘Sure, once you get the hang of using the correct side of the road, though.’

    You did a good job of packing all that stuff in.  It is a nicely lit night scene.

    just in passing it appears that the 3 am freebie was also from 
     

    A Curious Christmas Gift (Christmas Freebie)

    Order: #DA24-1208-D407-2D44-42A7 – 2024-12-07 11:45:39 PM
    ---
    on the other hand earlier when I use the shopping cart icon on a freebie it kept putting another item in the cart (that wasn't free) until I opened the freebie in a tab and then added to the cart
    ---
    The 4am freebie same thing.
    Now I'm normally up until about 7 am daz time...  so while this is disappointing it's not going to get me mad. 
    But if I was normally asleep and had set alarms to get up and check on the freebies I might be a little upset.

    @Elor, you might be able to squeeze the floor cleaner in the cart, but I doubt you'll be able to fit today's 3DU Santa in there.  Lol!

    Some impressive freebies today.  Thank you @3DUniverse and @3djoji for today's offerings!

    @Barbult, I really admire your creativity and patience in using all the freebies!

    Photobomber

    Jack: Richard, I'm going to whack you with this candy cane if you don't stop photobombing my Christmas card photo shoot!

    barbult, I have been amused, entertained and even bursting out laughing at your renders.  You did an amazing job using all those advent presents in an actual story!!!

    Also, I must confess I adore the adventures of Richard, Llola and (occasionally) Jack.  And they are such good sports about them, this is the kind of thing that makes me feel so at home in these forums ^_^

    Thank you SO MUCH to all the PA's for the wonderful presents, it has been a very pleasant surprise every day!!!

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    I'm glad you are amused. That is the intent. These stories are not pre-planned. They just come about on their own, sometimes because of something else I just bought, like the dystopian  environment and the photo shoot poses and props. Sometimes one story will build upon previous ones. I have set a goal to include Richard in every one of these gift renders, so that also has an impact on what the render turns out ot be.

    Merry Christmas. I hope Jack got his Christmas card photo done in time. He looks pretty snazzy in that illuminated bodysuit, fluffy socks, and headband. cheeky

    I thought I'd post the couple of renders I've done with the PA gifts in them.  I would have done more, but I just didn't have time this month.  I'm sure they'll pop up in future renders of mine, though!

    This one has “NG Holiday Gnome Stuffy”, “Xmas Pillows”, “A Curious Christmas Gift” and “MMX Stone Shader”

    This one contains "LA Christmas Morning Props and Poses", "My Christmas Centerpiece", "CGI Christmas Headband for Genesis 9", "Black and Red Fabric Iray Shaders" and "FPE Candy Cane for Genesis 8 and 9"

    And this one has “Xmas Pillows” and “NG Holiday Gnome Stuffy” again, because my family is addicted to those cute little gnomes that are everywhere, so I had to use them again for one more Christmas picture ^_^

    I love today's gifts! Morphs for all ages, yay! 

    And a sweet script from Riversoft! Little things are important. There are times when I too just need a base character. Totally armored Evil Overlord Minions, for one. Or trying out a new outfit. And as always, Riversoft's main promo is fun.

    If you haven't noticed it, the previous freebies are back, one every hour!

    I missed 'December 12 2024: Lully gifting Lullys Colors (linked to render by barbult)' and I only saw the ones listed from 4 to 5 am MST. I am not sure if I will be able to stay awake for a full 24 hours (sick with a bad cold/flu) but for those who can and also missed something, keep an eye out today. The promo is at the top of the sales page. They don't seem to be in a sequence I have been able to determine.

    @barbult, thank you for the joy you have brought everyone. I have loved your renders. To the PAs, well, I adore your gifts.

    Correction: It seems the timing has changed to every 5 hours.

    Many nice new images with lots of freebies! Keep them coming.

    @Fae3D I like the gnome who looks surprised and terrified by the curious Christmas gift staring out at him.

    @felis cat on the carpet cleaner! I should have thought of that.

    @memcneil70 thanks for the nice comments, Mary. I hope you feel better soon.

    Sorry for the late reply, didn't had as much time behind my computer as I thought I would have.

    Thank you very much smiley

    I'll add to the chorus and say that seing your renders every day is always putting a smile on my face: I don't know how you're able to find and execute so many idea, but hats off.

    Oh, and I'm not sure photobombing Jack's Christmas photo is the worse Richard did…

    My main regret is missing an opportunity to add MikeD's gift to the scene: it would have sat perfectly over the puzzle box. But that render took, I think, over 10h and I used the last possible night to do it before Christmas (which was also the last night during which I could let my computer renders, because I think my guests would have promptly unplugged the computer if I let it ran while they were sleeping in the same room blush) and MikeD's gift appeared as I woke up, an hour or two before the render ended.

    Regarding your challenge, to be fair, outside of the plushes, the puzzle box, Lacey and maybe the candy cane, every other gifts was resized smiley

    Fae3D said:

    This one has “NG Holiday Gnome Stuffy”, “Xmas Pillows”, “A Curious Christmas Gift” and “MMX Stone Shader”

    I had to play 'Where's the shader' before seing it on the wall blush

    Love the two gnomes and how each one of them is reacting to the situation.

    Thank for the nice throne and the Iray and Filatoon preset. smiley

    It is a nice throne, and has Iray along with Filament & Filatoon. Wonder what it would look like with wood shaders? One way to find out.

    Thank you! I'm not sure how it will handle other shaders, as sadly I didn't have time to UV map it better. Hopefully, it's still useful to you. :)
