    Q. What do you call a tomato that sits at the bottom of the ocean that is rendering and shakes?

     

     

     

    A. A nervous wreck

    a bit more info....... not long now

    How to get your tomato

    Any way you can ( legally ) 
    The easiest way is to download the free 'Killer Tomato' donated by GKDantas.
    His "Killer Tomato" scene was 100% modeled in Carrara.  You can download the complete scene here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h6tk46b3bu6s74r/KillerTomato 
    No sign is is required to download... I know as I downloaded it. But if you have problems let us know and we will try and work something out.

    Thank you Marcelo!

    A real cool way is to model your own tomato in your favourite modelling software ( a good challenge ) and go ballistic... one of our Carrara'ists may post a detailed step through on how to model your very own tomato ( extra Tommie points may be earned ) What every 'Supweme Wuler' wants and I want your tomatoes!

    There is a tomato at ShareCG as well you can use....

    how many rotten tomatos will I get if I make a movie?

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,116

    and who will model said rotten tomato?

     

    intrigue at its best devil

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,116

    all seems to be clear so far... either that or everyone is asleep.... shhhhhhhhh

     

    be vewy vewy qwiet

    Would be good but not a requirement
    To use in addition or to compliment your Tomato et al., is to use one of our Carrara PA's products in your final image ( if you have any that is ).

    How Many Times Can I Enter?
    You can do as many WiP works as you please, maybe even get some tips/hints off other Carrara'ists on which WiPs are more betterer than others... but don't be fooled if there is a rotten tomato out there!

    You can ENTER as many final works in the ENTRY Thread as you like... go for it

    No other requirements are needed but if you do model or use special lighting or maybe use some hair on your tomato it would be great to show how and would probably earn extra tommie points.

    Most of all have fun, your only limitation is your imagination of tomatoes. And ask for help if you get stuck on something.. we are all here to help you.

    As the host I won't enter any images in the entry thread but will post every now and then my tomato render in the WiP thread... well, probably more times than not.

    What does PR image mean in this context? Sounds like a funny contest.

    No two tomatoes are created equal.  Most common of course is a Red, somewhat round one, with smooth skin. But alas... what about yellow, deep purple (nearly black)... or perhaps a yellow one... even one with pronounced ribs, is that the right word... hmm.  Walk into any store that sells seeds and you'll notice only a few of the very long list of varieties.

    Click image below for a list of a lot but not all dem varieties with some pics below.... should open a new tab/window which leads to Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.

    Thanks for the tomato info,wdjohn and Bunyip02. 

    I loaded up Marcello's free killer tomato and combined with a character I've been working on (base is Ralphling that comes with an old edition of Poser).  Let the fun begin!

    Stezza Wuler, you can't fool me.  I have uncovered your nefarious act of plagiarism!

    First, you pilfered a tomato from my (glorious) Challenge.  Even more sinister, you fully knew that it was a member of the nightshade family, which sometimes "only comes out at night."

    My attorneys will be in contact.

    Edited to hide the fact that this was posted as an excuse to test stealing Stezza's signature.  Did I write that where you can read it?

    Stezza, I copied your signature to help promote the challenge.  Hope you don't mind.  I will delete it if you do.

    One more resource - here are some tomatoes that come with Carrara's native content.  In the object browser in the "food" folder, there is a taco salad with some tomatoes slices and a catsup (ketchup) bottle.  Worth taking a look at.
