*Closed* RRRR Render Contest Summer 2024
The RRRR is back for another round!
This time the theme is.... No, no theme this time, just pull, setup and render.
RRRR stands for Random Runtime Roulette Renders, and it's a contest that has been running for over seven years until it needed a well deserved break. We invite anyone to enter, specially all those new users who have shown up the past years. This is not the usual make a very nice render contest but more like tell a really great story, often fun, with your render!
How does it work?
Make your pull of 4 items, and if your any Lucky Bastards, you pull one extra item per LB.
Who can play?
Anyone can play!
How do you prepare yourself for play?
The rules are very simple, but first you need to have all your items in some kind of order in a text file, dumped from the itemized history into a text file or a spread sheet. Remove things like software, gift certs, and special plugins from the list and items that wil not work with the software you work with.
For example if you have items for Poser, Bryce or Carrara, and want to use DAZ Studio, remove those other items from your list. If you have loads of older figures, M3, M4, a ton of non Iray stuff and you only want to use Studio with Iray, remove all the junk from you list.
Then you use a randomizer to randomly pick items from your list (your Runtime/My Library) for your start pull . You can use items from any store. Now build a scene with those 4 items plus any other items you want to add to make a fun scene. For newcomers I heartly recommend looking at the previous contests below to get ideas how you can do this.
Working randomizer:: https://www.random.org/integers
There are some situations where you allowed to redraw, these are:
- You pulled something that doesn’t work, broken thing, only works in a version / software not used etc etc, or you forgot to remove that item from you list even though you knew it wont work, or figure that out later.
- You pulled a software or add-on to a software or anything you should have filtered out from the list.
- You pulled only huge environment props and will not be able to render a scene without crashing.
- You pulled an item you already have been using in two RRRR renders in this content and that was picked randomly. Three is a curse - rule!
Lucky Bastard Rule!
I say this again: If you have Lucky Bastards, you pull one extra item for each LB you have, simple as that.
Explaination of Lucky Bastards.
Lucky Bastards, or LBs, are a form of handicap system which makes the contest a little more difficult for those who have won. No lucky bastards are in play now, but will be for the next run.

---|---|
Luci45 | 2 |
Totte | 1 |
acb | 2 |
katfeete | 1 |

katywhite | 1 |
How to play?
You pull, you compose and you Render. You post your images and pulls in this thread (Don't miss that, entries without pulls and posts in this thread will be disqualified!!).
Then the entry should also be posted in the Entries only thread
Bundles
If you pull a bundle, use two or three complete items from it, or more if you like, but you do not need to use all, but only picking a hairpin from Victoria 8 Pro Bundle is “too little”. Clarification: A bundle still counts as only one pulled item.
Poses, Expressions and textures/colors
If you pull a pose pack, an expression pack or a texture/color pack, you only need to use one of them, not all. For example if you pull 500 expressions for Genesis 8 Female, use one, if you pull 128 colors for Frappe Hair, use one.
Accidenty breaking the TOS
If your entry is removed by the forum mods because it accidentally, not deliberate, broke the TOS, you do not have to redo that entry but can move on and make a new pull.
The rules of madness!
Now you have successfully and randomly picked your items, make a scene, you can add other items as well but the one you picked should be prominent or cleverly used. Render it, post it and make us all laugh! Remember though that the renders must follow the TOS of the forum. As we have a theme on the contest, the render should in some way touch that theme.
The contest categories!
There are two categories Best and Funniest. Every image will compete in both categories.
Contest duration!
It starts now at Wednesday July 31, 2024, and will go on until Sunday September 22, 2024 at 23:59:59 local DAZ time.
This months sponsors so far:
Totte (Code 66) is sponsoring with two items from his store
Elliandra is sponsoring with two items from her store
We want more sponsors!
Do you want to sponsor the RRRR?
Please chip in a gift card sponsorship, sponsors can play, they should play, they are even extra encouraged to play, as sponsors always plays for keeps.
Maximum number of entries?
For this round it will be a maximum of 9 entries per player.
So, good luck and start your render engines!

The Paranormal Specialist
Dick Dunwoody, specialist in paranormal activities, was called out to the old asylum, The Priory of St Mary of Bethlehem, which was originally built when Henry III was king over England, in the year of the lord, 1247. When he opened the closed door to the very old section that had been closed for centuries, he saw more paranormal activities than he had ever seen in his whole life. He knew exactly what to do, run away and run fast.
nice one!

Thank you. Also for the reminder.

Left Holding the Barge
Queen Hatcheksup and her funeral barge were dispaced in time and space by a vengeful priest's curse, resulting in being shrunken to Barbie doll size and popping up at various times and places for 4000 years. Anubis caught up with her at Witch Walda's home in New Orleans just as the elite US military unit for recovering anomolous arial objects was closing in. He wisked her through a portal to the Underworld, leaving a surprised Witch Walda holding the barge.

Lighting the Float
They gathered enogh of the yellow lightning bugs to light their float for the upcoming parade. But of course, they still needed to find the blue and red ones - presumably at monoliths with blue or red glowing holes at the top... Maybe they could change the color of the monolith to get different bugs? That's how it is in every other adventure game, right?

The Wormhole Portal
Marine Pilot, Major Jessica B. Caldwell, was flying a routine patrol mission over Iwo Jima in late April, 1945, when a weird lightning storm hit her plane and when she looked down, the world looked very different. She successfully landed, and when she exited the plane outside some weird aerodrome, two strange looking figures appeared with a floating table with stuff on it. One of the said: – "Welcome to our universe. We asked for help from the ancients, and they sent us these items, and you. Solve the riddle, and we can bring down the evil empire."
Major Caldwell looked at the items and thought what am I experiencing right now?
@Totte: #2 What she's experiencing right now is an adventure game. That's what it is! I sense a hidden theme But I hope she doesn't combine the lighthouse with the plunger. That could make a Dalek.
Thanks @acb!
You're right I guess, you did an adventure game, Luci seems to do one too, where the player keeps mixing the wrong ingredients and burns, and then this, I think the "puzzle" is what needs to be solved, the rest of the items are just red herrings, to confuse the player. On a side note: I participated in an "Escape Room" event last weekend, that's where I did get the idea of a lot of useless red herring clues.... (No, we did not succeed)

The Last Hipster
To solve the riddle, Victoria and Karen needed to find the answer to a question, a question that only one of the last Hipster could answer. The last hipster was the only surviving hipster from the great purge in 2347, and have been kept alive even since, together with three clones, just in case. The question they needed the answer to was:
- "How to you make a perfect vegan chai expresso latte with almond and soy milk?"
I have been struggling with my last pull. So aweful. I decided to look for some inspiration here and wow, I got some! I love all the crazy surrreal game stuff, Totte and acb! I especially like Totte #3.
Thanks!
What I do when I end up in an "Artist's block" with a pull, is that I setup the different parts pulled (fix mats, check what they are), then I toss everything into a scene and just move stuff around to see if something pops up, usually it works, but 've had a few pulls that has been imposssible, so then I just do something with them and move on, knowing "this wont get any attention", but at least I can ake a new pull.
