Pioneers challenge

This is a Carrara Challenge to Eric Winemiller, founder and owner of Digital Carvers Guild (http://www.digitalcarversguild.com/), a true pioneer of the Carrara plugins.

In his owns words:

DCG, like most plug-in businesses started out as a small single person shop. We released DCG's first commercial product for Ray Dream shortly before Carrara 1 was announced. Over the years we've expanded our product line and the number of developers.

Winemiller E. 2004. Plug-Ins and the SDK. 3DXtract.com. 2 [may 2004]: 18-19

Many of us have worked with these plugins. Now, as anybody here knows, recently, Eric has generously released DCG plugins as open source, thus all carrarists could make use of theses fantastic tools.

You can develop the theme of the Challenge 42 as your imagination would allow!

 

Rules:

  1.  You may enter up to three images. Images must be made for this challenge specifically. Votes will be on a per image basis. Each voter may vote for four images, one vote per image. An artist may only win one prize. Final images must be posted in the Entry thread to be considered. Voting is open to anyone with a DAZ 3D account. 
  2.  You must use at least one of the Digital Carves Guild plugins for Carrara, you can choose which one. 
  3.  Other plugins are allowed. If you do use a plugin, please let us know how you used it in the WIP thread.
  4.  When the entry thread is opened, you must link to at least one of your WIPs from this (WIP) thread in your entry. The WIP should contain your scene set up, or lights, or some other major scene component. 
  5.  Renders and scene set up must be done in Carrara.  The renderer could be the native one or a third part using a Carrara plugin, such as Octane or Lux, in which case a description of the process is required in one of the WIPs.
  6.  Postwork is allowed. If postwork is used, you must post a before and after render, and a description of the postwork that was done in one of your WIPs.
  7.  Pre-made content is allowed. Content should be listed in the entry when the time comes. Links would be great, but not required.
  8.  An artist can only win in one place.  There are four places and an honorable mention. The first place is for the image with more votes, and so on. 
  9.  The winner of the Challenge becomes the next Carrara Challenge host, and sets the rules for the next competition.  But should the winner decline this honor, the 2nd place winner will then get the opportunity to step forward and fill the role.

Special thanks to DAZ 3D and DimensionTheory for sponsoring this challenge!,  

After a life of composing music, Jeffrey Felt (DimensionTheory) found his way into the computer art world in 2004 as another means of artistic expression after his discovery of a program called ‘Carrara’. Starting small and keeping strong focus on the techniques he needed to work on has made him what he is today. He believes that addressing shortcomings with the help of an awesome community in turn makes all things possible. With this in mind his love of the industry has grown, and continues to grow with each new render
