I'm still struggling with pull #4 but I think I'm slowly moving a tiny bit in the right direction....
Ooops... forgot to mention the name of the picture and text - edited post. Yes, I'll admit, it's a little obtuse, but I so wanted to do something film noir.
Thanks for the head's up.
Not only did I have to pull 6 items.. one of them is a bundle. Boo.
But I can do this. I think.
148 Candle Collection
152 Carnival Extravaganza 1
Carnival Midway
Midway Games
Fortune Teller 1930 for V4
Joint Flash for Midway Fun
Working Man for M4
Finger Wave Bob
Colors for Timeless Male Hair
205 Courageous for V4
231 Daz Sheep
533 Lands of the Sun
772 Picnic Basket
Hmmm. Getting an idea, but not sure what the April Fool's joke is yet.

Trying not to be a nag, but don't forget your tag bohemian3#1 so we can vote for it when you post it in the other thread - hint hint. ;-)
Seriously, dude, I blame myself for that...!
(And I think the obligatory response from you is, "So do I!")

Yupp, but I'm gonna spend the rest of the contest time making it as it's worth doing, so it's worth overdoing!
Soon converted 20 props from the Log Cabin Construction Set - MegaPack to Vue.....
eta: also used Jai Hair, Casual Slick Hair, Sea Dragon, and a piece of Lunar Craters Moonscape. The ocean came with Carrara.
Ok so my original idea didn't work out and it took me a while to finish but here it is finally...

Whoa, Totte, that is brilliant!
(And I think I just got skunked on the funniest! Well, if I'm gonna get beat, I at least insist on being beat by the best!)
You totally rule!

Title: "I see a tall dark stranger in your future...and a foreign landscape..."
Wow, W.B.... you've really outdone yourself. Rich, amazing attention to detail, complicated yet still artistically composed. The whimsey and wonder are contagious. Really good work!
Awesome stuff. Just awesome. speaking to many, lol, all really.
I ran into a problem with one of my pulled items. The geometry for the shirt for the Underground King M4 outfit is all goobered up; the cuffs collapse to a singularity, where they're supposed to be all lacy and frilly and..., well, you know - David-Bowie-on-bad-dope-ish.
I tried resetting the download and re-installing, but that accomplished a whole lot of bupkis.
Since I have absolutely no intention of pulling the OBJ into Blender to fix it, I've pulled a replacement item. And that item is:
729 - Drama Queen Drama
Great. Poses.
Anyway, my revised draw is as follows:
431 - Goth as Fashion for Victoria 3 and Stephanie 3 Petite
729 - Drama Queen Drama
1256 - Darkwave
1054 - West Park Basement
So I guess it's back to the drawing board....
To give you an idea of what the problem is, here's a quick render of the outfit, as it installed and loaded into Poser 9 (which I normally use for character composition, when the character is not Genesis). Note the sleeves....
UPDATE: Just for S & Gs, I did open the geometry file in Blender, and it looks just fine. So I brought the figure into DAZ Studio; loads without problems, works great. So I tried it in Poser 8, and it caused Poser to hang. something flukey in the CR2, perhaps?
In any event, I don't feel like doing battle with it, so I'm sticking with my re-draw....
Wow, W.B.... you've really outdone yourself. Rich, amazing attention to detail, complicated yet still artistically composed. The whimsey and wonder are contagious. Really good work!
I really like how your colors mix so well together. Wish I knew how to do that.
Can Ken OBannion gimme 6 new fresh lucky numbers between 1 and 3410?
Even though the pull was off the charts bad, I think I succeed with it so you are not Banned anymore.
or anyone else wanna try?
@Zawarkal#03 i bet those aliens are making crash videos to post to you tube
@Totte#4 thanks for the comments. lol. i knew a first grade teacher who would lie on the floor and cry when the kids went home.
whether from joy or relief she didn t say.
@Totte#05 and say it s true!!!! firefly is back! a show with heart.
maybe after the movie they ll do a star trek and just do movies from here on.
@Luci45#3 ha!! it s those flailing mechanical legs that you put in the trunk of cars to get pedestrian reactions.
@Luci45#4 big jim is wearing his trucker hat so that he ll be the only one who doesn t have to wash his hair when they go home!
@barbult#3 good one! do you think that they ll just pile brush in the appliances and use them as ovens?
@Karibousboutique #1&2 thanks for your comments. you re right blind dates are a great source of humor.
well... if you approach them with little expectations and an open mind...
@Karibousboutique #3 this one would make a great inspiration poster for the lunchroom. especially for us on the graveyard shift.
@obanion#03 ha! if your pants are a loose enough weave you can light up without removing them.
to the appreciation of all the bystanders, i m sure.
@obanion#04 lol. scary movies sometimes work also
@0banion#05 rofl. i have it on authority that if you take a vw to the drive in the person in the trunk
can pass the beer back thru the glove box.
@obanion#06 the drama club is certainly notorious for giving as much drama as they receive!!
@MelanieL#2 thanks for your comments. lol! if they offer a meal to get your blood flowing you better be sure to put plenty of garlic on it.
@MelanieL#3 ah! vegas!! an adult theme park
@bohemian#1 Final Reel. film noir certanly has an attitude. good one!
@emsim #1 most people i know would be more likely to hug the sea dragon instead of blowing it away.
but this is a good method for revealing a persons fears and character. good one!
@warmblood#1 good one! she doesn t have to reach far to pull the wool over her clients eyes!
Finally done with this one! ¡Que lata! from my squirrelly machine.

Daniel's Childhood Wish
Tag: Luci45#5
Daniel ran into his childhood friends Rick and Raul on April Fools day. They had a few drinks and, being a lightweight, Daniel passed out.
"D' you remember how he always wanted to run away with a circus?" Rick said.
"Yeah," replied Raul. "And what are friends for?"

I couldn't initially work out how to fit the Cyclorama and the King's Pass together as they are at vastly different scales, but then I discovered an Ancient Egyptian Cyclorama texture in my Runtime, which gave me this idea ...
TAG:MelanieL#4
Title: Mission Impossible
Laura and Jonesey were visiting the Museum of Antiquities where they were excited to see a scale model of a temple complex, which they knew had never been discovered - perhaps this should be their next mission?
What they didn't know was that the model was a pure invention, built by the guard to fill his long hours of boredom outside the tourist season.
Used:
Laura and the Guard both have Aredhel (Elf) Hair
Laura's and Jonesey's clothes are all retextured with various MachPack shaders
Also Used:
Museum Guard = Genesis with Raphael for M4 skin texture, Corsair for Genesis clothes and Rosemaryr's (freebie) fez
Laura = Gabi for V5 with Tankini, shorts from Mall Girl and Headkase's (freebie) Sensible Shoes for V3
Jonesey = Genesis with Stefan skin, Town and Country shirt, pants and boots, Teen Swag vest, SAV's (freebie) Indy hat and Tempest's (freebie) Versatile Tentacle morphed as a whip
Table from East Terrace retextured with Pimp My Prop, with glass-shadered primitive as the display case
Props and Egyptian backdrop (applied to the Multiplane Cyclorama) from Treasures of Egypt 1 & 2
Barrier from Cheapskate's freebie Railings prop, retextured with metal and rope shaders from Gemologica
Thanks for the comments, Totte, barbult, KaribousBoutique and gopherus.
Looking back a couple of pages...
Luci45 "Lame Prank at the Palenque Cafe" - well, you might hate it but you're getting your moneys-worth from that Cafe!
"Daniel's Childhood Wish" - hilarious! Wonder where he'll wake up?
Ken OBanion "Friday Night at the Drive-In" - never been to a drive-in, I guess they're trying the "cheap seats"?
"Revenge of the Nerds" - plenty going on here, yes those girls look mean
"??next one??" - pity about the re-pull, I'd have loved to see what you might have done with the original pull "the man with the pointy arms"?!
bohemian3 "Final Reel - April's Fool" - very noir! Love the light effects and the ambience
KaribousBoutique "The Ghosts of April" - dark again, like the fuzzy background and misty lighting
emsim "Having Fun with the New Recruit" - you've got that snakeskin looking very slimy - nice posing too
Totte "Do you belive the papers on April 1st" - thats really funny, you must have spent quite some time on that...
warmblood "I see a tall dark stranger..." - lovely colours and so much going on there, really nicely done
gorpherus "Ashley never expected..." - love the idea, really funny - pity you didn't actually pull a Morphing Python!
Oops, nearly missed posting my next:
920 = Jade Hair for Genesis
965 = Headphones
973 = Candle Collection
235 = Millennium Dog Starter Pack
Well, lower than my average on environments, so plenty of scope there...
...Stick pins in Ken's doll.... :coolgrin:
Again!
