    Barbult #2 Loyal Bullwarg to the recue -one of my favorite characters. Good use of your pull!
    bohemian3 #1 A beautiful render. RRRR has helped me grow as well in those same ways, as well as helping me to focus, make choices and perservere. 
    Amaranth #1 I love the mood, posing and expression; they tell the story well.

    adamsrobt #2 Vicky is always ready, whether in a temple with a sword or a in storeroom with something more lethal. (and while wearing those heels!)
    Zethara #2 I wonder if that dragon is coming back from the dead, being supernatural and all...
    Totte #1 A very dramatic, but lovely and amusing, render.
    Totte: #2 Nice diagonals and light, a great line - "That does not sound like Anubis"
    Zethara #3 Haha, I love this one. Very RRRR!
    Totte #3 I love Kotchenkov's face. Will 005 come back from the dead?
    Bunyip02 #2 Great line - "Obey the curfew you randy humans - or I'll blow you to Hell and back !" The mouse looks like he (or she?) means busi

    A bit late to the party, I know, but I stumbled across this on a Facebook post, and immediately thought..., "A new RRRR!?  Perchance an opportunity (okay, more of an excuse, really!) to render something other than my usual 'naked vampire babes with racks that practically have their own ZIP code'!?  HELL, YEAH!"

    It took a lot of copying-and-pasting to get my content inventory spreadsheet up-to-date (actually, it's a CSV file, but..., whatever), and I realized that I have a lot of crap in my runtimes!  (And I mean that, literally; the most frequent question I asked myself while sifting through this mess was, "Why the hell did I buy this!?"  The second most frequent being, "What the hell is this thing, anyway!?")

    My method of random pulling was, of course, typical Ken Overkill(R): I fired up Visual Studio, spent a few hours (and several Martinis) hacking code, and now, as they say, "There's an app for that!"

    Anyway, here's my first pull:

    7654 - Treasured Trinkets (I have absolutely no clue what this is!)
    2238 - Victoria 7 Expression Set
    6162 - Besieged (Okay, this could get interesting...!)
    4018 - Apatosaurus (And, with that, I know exactly where I want to take this one!)

    Pray for me...!

    Great to see you Mr OBanion!
    Your motto still lives in the RRRR - Sponsors play for keeps!

    Sounds like an OBanionish pull too!

    Welcome back, Ken. Looks like you got a really nice first pull.

    I don't know if I'd call it "nice", but it is, as Totte noted, pretty much par for the course for me. It will be a real "blast from the past", that's for sure! That 'Treasured Trinkets' thingie? It's a texture set for the V3 Fantasy Collar! (Victoria 3!? Seriously!?) The order date was from back in 2011!

    Lordy... TWO bundles? I suppose I did ask for this, lol. I had to go into my account and find the PC Bundle 1 from 2018 to see what was in it because it's no longer in the store. 

    RRRR Loves you! 

    I also find it amusing that RRRR gave me the Karen bundle. laugh 

    That random generator is psychic ;-

    Psychic?  Or psychotic?

    A quick question (for those inclined to answer):

    Anybody know where I can find a beach blanket?

    (And now that I've mentioned it, I'm betting you all have Annette Funicello singing that dumbass song in your heads, don't you?  I know I do!)

  • TotteTotte Posts: 14,013

    Use a plane subdivided and a texture set and dforce?

     I finally tracked a couple down, in my old, long-disused, Poser libraries.  (I knew I had used one, long ago, in a very old RRRR entry, from back when I was actually using Poser.)

    I brought both into DAZ Studio, to play with them.  In one, the morphs just did not carry over at all; and besides, it looked more like an air mattress than a blanket; yeah, it was that thick!  (And, if memory serves, that was how I ended up using it in that old RRRR scene!)  The other one had working morphs, but they interfered with dForce.  (The mesh didn't explode, so I called that half-a-loaf.)  Either way, neither was going to work for me.

    So I tried your suggestion: a plane, 4 x 4 units, with 96 divisions.  As a test, I positioned it over a sphere primitive, placed on top of another plane, applied the dForce modifier, and cut her loose; it draped flawlessly, and beautifully!  So, that's what I decided to do.

    Thanks, Totte!  You are a gentleman and a scholar, and a fine judge of kneecaps!

    Hey, Totte!  I have a question.  (This is more generic, and a bit on the speculative side.  Although, considering the scope and depth of my accumulated content, it is well within the realm of possibility; it isn't called 'random' for nothing, you know!)

    If my pull includes a collection of animated poses (say, a package of aniBlocks), is that an automatic redraw, or are we allowed to offer short animated sequences as entries?  Perhaps more to the point, will the Forums allow it?

    Asking for a friend....

  • TotteTotte Posts: 14,013

    Hi Ken, i would say redraw, or render a still with one frame of the animation as a pose
