Carrara Challenge #21: “Video Game - Main Scene”

-  Voting closed

Thank you all for participating!

Voting Rules

1.Voting is open to anyone with a DAZ3D account.
2.Each person may vote for up to three entries. The order of your votes does not matter (i.e. do not vote for a 1st place, 2nd place, honorable mention etc. just list your three votes in any order).
3.Votes are per entry. If an artist has two images you wish to vote for, you may use a vote for each one, leaving you with one remaining vote to cast.

Anonymous Votes

1.Anonymous votes will be accepted with good cause, for example: if a forum moderator or admin wishes to vote without giving an appearance of favoritism.
2.Please PM Pimpy  if you think you need to vote anonymously.
3.Anonymous votes for the challenge host will not be accepted.

Vote Counting

1.An artist may place in the top three or receive Honorable Mention only once per Challenge.
2.If an artist has enough votes to place more than once, the entry with the most votes will be the one that is placed, and the entry by another artist with the next highest vote total will be moved up.
3.If there is a tie for any spot in the top three during the regular voting period, it will be asked to cast a tie-breaking vote only for the competitors with the same score for a period of 24 hours. Obviously who is in tie cannot vote .
4.The current Challenge host (me, pimpy) is not eligible to win or host the next challenge.

5.1st Place winner gets to hosting the next challenge. The winner gets to choose the theme and the rules.

    Title "Saving Private Ryman"

    Artist: Headwax

    Link to WIP  http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/65949/carrara-challenge-21-video-game-main-scene-wip-thread/p1

    Credits

    Made the pebbles and the vertex planes that created the fog, retextured the flag from the USA one to the French one.

    The soldiers the jeeps and the FRench houses come from Eagle 1 package at Rendo, nice low poly figures very excellent

    Extensive use was made of Fenric's various plugins during the setting up of the scene:

     

     Back ground lifted from the movie : Playing as the remarkable Captain John Miller, you must bravely take your men behind enemy lines to find Private James Ryman, whose three dead brothers have been killed mortally in combat.

    Surrounded by the brutal realties of an inept and cruel war of obscene obscenities, while searching for the luckless and mispelled Ryman, you must embark upon a personal journey and discover hidden strengths to triumph over future of uncertain

    delicatness, dishonour and unamazing ingratitude, while showing remarkable panache and cravate tying abilities that enable you to keep your socks  clean, against insurmountable odds, till the end of the game.

    - Credits (content, plugins,…) - Everything created in Carrara 8.5
    - Description of item(s) created inside Carrara - grumpy old dude, modeled and rigged - feisty little kids, modeled and rigged - house - landscape - lawn (hair) - tree (carrara tree with custom leaves and customized shader for bark)  and other assorted details.
    - Theme, Description, postwork, comments, and other discussion.  

    The theme is that there is a grumpy old man trying to do yardwork.   Little kids come on his lawn and scatter leaves he has just raked into piles.  You get points for completing yardwork and chasing away kids.  You lose points if they mess things up or break windows.  Postwork consisted of using Photoshop to combine the main render with seperate renders for the squares in the upper right that track your score.  I touched up the frames and one of the kid's legs while I was there.

    EDIT:  Final image was swapped out as per last WIP link above.

    Credits: I used Forest Drive by HowieFarkes, A3 by DAZ 3D, Nightstorm by DAZ 3D, Dystopia City Blocks from DAZ 3D and Foberghini by Fober(?)

    Modeled and created in Carrara: I built the start flags that A3 is holding, A3's shaders are procedural shaders that I made. Her eyebrows and eyelashes were also created by me. The night shaders on the Dystopia City blocks were built by me.

    Comments: Postwork was done in PS to add graphic and text overlays, as well as using render passes from Carrara to enhance effects such as glow, reflection and specular, as well as create DOF.

    Race your dream machine against your friends! If they get in your way, don't shoot them the bird, just shoot them! Fully upgrade and customize your car's engine and armaments! Unlock hidden levels, weapons and cars! Play Road Ragin' today!

    Tough - I changed my mind several times. But here goes:

    • #6. "Outback Alien" - Stezza
    • #1. "Nearly Dead" - 5thElement
    • #7. "Road Ragin'" - evilproducer
  • pimpypimpy Posts: 274

    Clarifications about HM:

    the latest challenges (19 challenge hosted by Diomede and 20 challenge hosted by 5th Element) the Honorable Mention is the prize for the 4th place.

    I used the same rules for this challenge where at point 2 of the Voting Rules is not request vote for HM but only for three entries. (...do not vote for a 1st place, 2nd place, honorable mention etc. just list your three votes in any order).

    Thank you! smiley
