    A big thank-you to Marieah and all the sponsors and congratulations to all the winners. I had never used shaders before and this contest spurred me to learn.

    Well, that was the point... to help everyone stretch their ideas of the possible a bit, and try something new. :)

    I was delighted that this contest ran again this year, and I was happy to help with the judging.... until I saw all the gorgeous renders! This was a very hard contest to judge. There were many, many excellent entries. Reading this thread has been a real treat. Thank you, everyone!

    That's unexpected! I am thrilled about Lizabet and Dutchman ... especially since I've been feeling unmotivated for a few months now and overly critical of what I do.

    Lizabet was ever so much fun (I restyled her hair like a dozen times), though the Dutchman was a pain because of the angle. I wanted something kinda ... dizzying, because he was hovering in the air, but then he was legless!

    Thanks to Marieah, the sponsors, and the judges and congratulations to all who placed.

    Woot! It's totally awesome that I actually won something! But in consideration of the fact that I'd barely used shaders before and now use them in practically everything I do, I'd say the experience and knowledge gained is worth even more.

    And, for what it's worth, just in the days since the contest I've picked up Mach Pack, Furify, Leatherize, the Totally Bazaar Bundle, DayJob Shaders and Pattern Magic 1, so as a promo for shaders, the contest totally worked with me.

    (So... when's that DS 4.5 Shader Mixer Tutorial coming out again?)

    Hearty congratulations to all the winners, and WOW thanks for picking one of mine as a winner too!
    Thanks to all the generous sponsors, the judges and especially to Marieah for running this fun jamboree.
    PS: I've PM'd you, Marieah, about a little prize confusion of mine - hope you can help me there :)

    Probably not in March, but hopefully in April. :) (What--no quilts & calicoes? ;) )

    Congratulations to the winners! Note for "my" winners (also sent in PM) - I have a new product coming up that you might want as your prize from me, so if you email me I can show you what it is :)

    I would like to see what it is.

    Just to let everyone know, I'm waiting until the end of the week to submit all the prize choices to Daz in one single email so they can add the choices to your Daz accounts. I won't dribble the choices to them because, believe me, that would be a disaster. They are busy enough at Daz without my making a single job into 20 jobs.

    So here's hoping Canary's new item is out by then. Otherwise, I can remove Canary winners from my list and she can privately supply you with the new product.

    I don't feel it would be quite fair to hold up everyone's prizes in anticipation....

    I agree, Marieah! And it'll be a couple of weeks before my product is up, so I'll send pics to "my" 2 winners tonight and they can decide if they want to wait - if they do, I'll take care of getting it added to their accounts, if not, they can send their choices to you and be part of your big list. I'll email you and let you know how it all shakes out. :)

    Thanks for the info about the deadline for prize picks - I'll spend a little longer choosing now...
    I'd be interested in seeing Canary3D's new product pics too, please.
    (And thanks for the PM Marieah - I read your original results post after midnight my time, so maybe my brain wasn't fully in gear! Like I said in the PM, "WOW what a generous prize"!)

    The clothing kitbash prize was so substantial we really wanted to encourage people to have a go at the prop kitbash as well, so piled some PA products into it.

    Canary, that sounds good to me.

    Marieah I have chosen to accept Canary3d's new item instead of the choice that I had previously indicated to you.
    Canary3d, I have sent you a reply to your email indicating my preference of your new product item. Thank you for making this choice available to us!

    I'd like to say thank you for having this contest and liking my image. I enjoyed creating it and getting to learn shaders better. Thanks to all the judges for taking the time to look over all these great pictures and voting.

    Marieah I send you an email, while I suppose in my case it isn't necessary (My prize haven't selection) anyway I send it.
    zigraphix, I send you a PM too, with choice.

    Thanks you again for contest and in most general way for her/his entire products/tutorials, source of fun/joy and usefulness.

    Ditto on the confirming that I sent an e-mail a few days ago. And thinking on it, if there are tardies, it might be helpful to post a list of who you HAVEN'T received emails from yet, just in case there are those who've sent but somehow had their e-mails lost in the net.

    And man, I didn't win anything in Canary's contest, but now I'm really curious as to what this new product is as well.
