    Thank 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!

    Great early entries, @Madmungo and @Kefka! Two beautiful, snowy scenes!

    Just 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.

    @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.

    Well 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.

    Aww 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!!

    @Ninianed "Which dog came at default Sub4?"
    Baxter The English Bulldog For Dog 8 comes in at sub4 by default.

    @Lucafeelgood
    I've been living with cats for 50+ years.

    Thanks for your festive entry, @Littleevie! The emission from the snow globe was a good choice. I especially love the refraction through the glass!

    I'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.

    @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!

    I think I've changed my mind about cats. I want one of these instead..

    His points aren't really all that great.

    I added my depressing art to the contest BTW.
