    Hey, very interesting contest.
    One question … by purchasing the Bad Santa Bundle – does that count as three New Releases being used?

    Just wondering ;-)

    Yes, makes sense :) 

    Actually, I misread the post - sorry.

    I think the spirit of the contest is to support more artists, so on reflection that bundle would probably just count as one item.  If you want to purchase the items individually to count as 'multiples', then go for it.

    Speaking from the Daz+ weekly contests, some of the best and most imaginative entries have been from people using a weird mix of products to create a great render - and I think that's the intention here too.

    STORY: Akki, being one of the youngest of the sisterhood of the 5 fragments; was eager to win the honor of the other 4 sisters by any means necessary. With this foolhearted mindset directing her actions she set out alone to  bring down the queen of death once and for all. Being significantly underpowered and ill prepared for the battle to come; the queen of death slolwly tortured her to the brink of death. Realizing their foolhearted companion was no longer in their midst; two of the strongest sisters came to Akki's Aide. 

    Qualifying Products Used are:

    1. dForce MKTG Ghost Bride Outfit for Genesis 9, 8.1 and 8 Female
    2. High Edge Outfit for Genesis 9
    3. Vision Add-On for High Edge Outfit
    4. Z Mixed Martial Arts Pose Mega Set for Genesis 9 and 8 Female

    Happy rendering everybody!

    It was a simple mission, they said. Just go in, take care of a malfuctioning Santa who'd gotten a little handsy with some of the tech crew, then get out before Amaget opened up their Christmas village for the season. Once she was done, Josephine would have plenty of money to cross a few names off her gift list. Of course, Santa has some thoughts about what he'll put up with from naughty little troubleshooters! Fortunately, Zomboy is the best boy, and more then willing to show that even dead dogs can still teach a few tricks!

    Santa is wielding a bloody Candy Cane o' Doom courtesy of MRD's Bad Santa Outfit and Weapons

    3DLoki's Josephine is wearing Lilflame's High Edge Outfit in lieu of body armor as she tries to keep her head in one piece

    And Zomboy's looking a little thin courtesy of ND's Mortis Dog Shapes. Here's hoping that festive sweater Anubuis gave him can keep him warm!

    I have a few questions? My first Question is does it have to be renders? instead of a render could I use software like UE5 or Iclone 5 to make a short animated film? 2nd if not an animated, what about a comic dub. Where I make a couple of renders in a comic format,put a voiceover and record the whole thing as a video. 3rd you said no AI when it comes to Images and post processing. Does also applies to voice acting,sounds,rigging,etc....

    What is the complete list of assets that are "battle" assets? I've purchase a couple and they no longer show up in the shop as part of the list. But I purchased other things at the same time so I have no idea which ones are "required".

    Fun idea for a contest, so many great entries already. My version of an epic battle is more of a losing battle, I think haha. Tentative title "Don't leave now, things are just getting fun!"

    Qualifying Items: High Edge Outfit, ZK Sci-Fi Skull 01, MightyMite Poses 004.

    Hi all!

    Long time Daz member, first time (that I remember) competition entrant. Sadly, the creative juices weren't flowing as freely as I'd like them to, so this will probably be my only entry.

    This work is called "The Protector" and I used the MKTG Ghost Bride Outfit.

    I also used:
    Futuristic Samurai Compound - Environment and Props
    Orestes Iray HDRI Skydomes - Starry Night
    DD PBR Metal Panel Shaders for Iray Vol 1
    Cybernetics Iray Shaders on a couple of sphere primitives
    Lots of Photoshop adjustment layers.
