November 16, 2022 at 5:18 am #1890770Thank you SO MUCH for hosting this! I can't wait to see what Winter Wonders are submitted!
My machine will not allow me to make complex renders for the contest, but I can make a Christmas Tree or something!
November 19, 2022 at 1:39 am #1891954November 19, 2022 at 5:57 am #1892000Just a reminder for the contest-
"Dimensions must be the banner size of 2048px x 1152px or larger. If larger, please post a link to a second, scaled-down version that is 2048 x 1152"
The render I'm working on isn't so I'll have to do some deft cropping to fit those dimensions.
Thanks @Enjoyify for organising everything. The images so far are really good. Enter and get a slice of the points.
ps. @Ninianed my system's not really up to it either. I tried to put a dog (with fur) into my scene and it crashed my whole computer, twice. I think I'll try a cat.November 19, 2022 at 7:53 am #1892016@Frank22 Feel free to post your original along with a second link to a cropped version. I don't want to limit people too much, but a standard for the banner is necessary. Btw, if the cat doesn't work, you can keep scaling down to a festive mouse king!
Speaking of cats, @Lucafeelgood thanks for submitting another great render! But I think there is some spillover from Halloween. Those flames
... I'm beginning to think these cats are up to no good. Hopefully the music keeps them satisfied.
November 19, 2022 at 8:58 am #1892046Well the cat worked for me even though it had fur too. I sorted out why the dog f'ed my whole PC. It came in at default subD 4 in an already heavy scene.... PC said fuck this and pull the blankets over its head... poor thing.
November 19, 2022 at 9:58 am #1892074Aww poor doggie. Welll I'm still trying to get the LAMH to work, sometimes it does, most times it doesn't. I did get a really great render of the white Zeus... hair, whiskers and all though. So was happy 'bout that.
Which dog came at default Sub4? I don't want to even try that...
I'm enjoying this so much!
Keep up the Wonder-ful work!!

Baxter The English Bulldog For Dog 8 comes in at sub4 by default.
@Lucafeelgood I've been living with cats for 50+ years.November 20, 2022 at 7:30 pm #1892631Thanks for your festive entry, @Littleevie! The emission from the snow globe was a good choice. I especially love the refraction through the glass!
November 21, 2022 at 1:01 pm #1892833I'm not really good at reading so, I have a question. Is this a community vote or is this a single vote by the contest creator, @enjoyify ?
@littleevie I really like your render!
@titan3d I also had an idea for a family of Yeti interacting with Santa Claus.November 22, 2022 at 7:23 pm #1893338Contest points are now up to 205,000!
@Kefka Community voting. I haven't decided on the specific rules for voting yet, but I will create a post about it once the competition ends. Let me know if you have any advice about organizing the vote.
@Titan3d Great entry! I love the framing/perspective and the non-traditional winter wonder! I also appreciate that you included your list of assets used.
@Lapucelle Thank you for sharing the story about your mom.Your AI image is very sweet.
@Frank22 Adorable! It can be difficult to create a sense of movement in Daz, but you did well here. I really like the deer poses in the background--very realistic.
@Serge2804 Winter can be tough on animals and people forced to live outside. A (Blender?) donut treat is welcome. Well done!November 23, 2022 at 8:53 am #1893476A simple "Pozer" Donut
November 24, 2022 at 12:58 am #1893736I think I've changed my mind about cats. I want one of these instead..
November 24, 2022 at 1:21 am #1893742His points aren't really all that great.
I added my depressing art to the contest BTW.
