• 24th Daz3D Bryce Render challenge

•  

• Now Sponsored by Daz 3D

•  

•  Theme for this challenge is ~~"FOOD"~~

•  

 

• Horo said 

  As a theme, Food. In the literal sense like a cow on a meadow, a fish in the water or an apple on a plate, but also in the figurative sense like food for thought, the eye, the imagination.

            

             

  Can you think outside the box with this one? or would you rather be traditional. 

  Your imagination is the only limit.

 

This thread is the WIP thread, so you can post here to show us how things are coming along before the render is transferred to the actual Contest thread for judging. You don't have to do that.we collect up all the finished ones and make the thread, with each render given a number and title, but no artist name shown, so it's a blind judging thread for the judging panel.

 

Rules

• All renders must be new renders.

• You can enter up to 3 renders.

• You must abide by the DAZ 3D forum TOS

• Imported content is allowed, but the render must be obviously a Bryce render.

• Post Work permitted, but please keep it to a minimum.

• Rules may be changed for subsequent Challenges, depending on the theme and the person who has selected it.

• The winner of the Challenge will get the chance to name the theme for the next contest.

• This will then continue with subsequent winners choosing the theme for the next contest, which will enable a new contest to start with the minimum of delay between contests.

• Whoever nominates the subject for the Challenge can modify the rules to suit that challenge.

Please don't post your entry renders anywhere else until after the Challenge is judged, as judging is done in a blind judging thread, so the Judges don't know who has done which image.

Challenge ends on 31st December :- Midnight DAZ 3D time. 

DAZ 3D Sponsorship, in the form of Store credit

Ist Place $30
2nd Place $20
3rd place $15

In addition DAZ 3D Store Credit will be given to the people whose renders are selected as the Honourable mentions,
$10 for each of 3 honorable mentions

We will also be offering a special prize for the render judged the best from a Bryce New User. DAZ 3D will add $10.

Judged by members of the DAZ 3D CV team and guest judges.

By entering this contest, you agree to allow DAZ3D to use any artwork you submit in any promotional materials they may choose.

I do apologise for being a day or 2 late in posting this one,  I quite literally forgot I hadn't done it.    

Dave Savage

Eat more fish Pam.... It's good for the memory

Chohole

Hey,  I don't often forget things, usually I procrastinate.  Thought I would have a change this week.   See, there's some food for thought.

 

Hansmar

Hi Pam, Interesting challenge!

mtnmen

Sound Yummy!

drachenlords

Oh, cool theme.
Here comes my first entry:

Italian Dinner

Hansmar

Drachenlords: you got off to a very good start. I wonder whether this time the first entry will be the best!

MelanieL

drachenlords - nice tableware! You got the challenge off to a great start there.

drachenlords

Thanks Hansmar and MelaniL. 

mtnmen

@drachenlords...  A delicious start of this challenge... Fabulous lighting!

drachenlords

Thank you very much, mtnmen.

Here comes my second contribution.

Spaghetti with meatballs? No, it is food for the soul, food for the mind and it has its own church.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster:

If you do not know it, you can read about it and find out what it is about pirates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster

Then it is clear: it is mainly food for the humor :)

mtnmen

FSM Bless us all.  Thank you for this.

Let me guess......Chips again?

 

Horo

drachenlords - beautiful place to have a dinner. Great scene with the spaghetti monster, awesom metaball work.

 

Yellow Pen

Drachenlords: the dinner is outstanding. And beautiful light...

and the Spaghetti Monster is so funny.

Jamahoney

Heh he, I like your abstract approach, Stuart  I bet he's going through the same old food circuit

Jay

Hansmar

drachenlords and StuartB: you both are really thinking out of the box! Well done.

Horo

Stuart - great render with Asimo(v).

Yellow Pen

oh, Stuart....I haven't seen yours before, sorry.... really beatiful, and so funny

 

drachenlords

Thanks for the nice comments.

@ StuartB:
Great render and a fantastic idea. Can only be liked

MelanieL

drachenlords - that's really funny! (So was the wiki link - I'd not come across this before)

StuartB - great idea, and I love that newspaper title!

drachenlords

Thanks MelanieL 

StuartB

Thanks very much you're all very kind.

Looks like a good start to another challenge.

Think I'll have beans tonight, suddenly gone off spaghetti. :)

S Ray

#1 Food Chain

drachenlords

Hey, S Ray. Great perspective, very nice grass and a beautiful DOF complete this successful scene. Compliment. Very nice picture.

StuartB

@S Ray.

 

I can't believe the coincidence.

My neighbour has a ginger cat and recently he's been chasing a squirrel up the christmas tree in my front garden.

Not caught him yet though, he's just too fast.

Great render.

Horo

S Ray - great render, excellent vegetation.

My first entry: a pizza delivered and Bryce beckons. All objects are from Daz 3D, backdrop and light from the WestRoom HDRI, additionally a dome light and the sun. 

Title: Delivery

drachenlords

Horo, this is a more than realistic light. The material of the bones I find a little too shiny. I think this bone texture might be more appropriate if they look a bit "dustier". What do you think?

Hansmar

S Ray: Such a great scene!. Guess who I am having for diner?

Horo: Lovely render. I guess the delivery boy himself forgot to eat in time :)
