Carrara Challenge 29: Anachronistic (and hair)
The WIP thread is here.
It is that time again, or is it? Time is often the centerpiece of both drama and comedy. The challenge this month is to create an image that integrates the importance of time, especially circumstances in which an element seems to be part of the wrong time.
- It can be a contemporary scene in which someone arrives or departs earlier than expected (or later), creating dramatic tension or humorous relief.
- Someone dressed for a Heavy Metal or Punk Rock concert could show up at a stadium on the wrong day (indicated by posters), meeting people dressed for something very different
- It can be a holiday theme in which most of the elements seem to be part of one holiday season, but something seems part of another holiday season.
- It can be a fantasy scene in which people with cadillacs and machine guns confront dinosaurs.
- It can be a science fiction scene in which a roman legion confronts starship troopers.
- A historical figure (Marc Antony in a toga) could be addressing a modern parliament (people in modern business attire).
- A caveman could be thawed and adopted by a modern suburban family.
- Rip Van Winkle could fall asleep under a tree and wake up 100 years later.
- A Connecticut Yankee could visit King Arthur's Court.
- Feel free to interpret the theme broadly.
Basic rules will be:
1. Participants must use the Carrara hair function, although it need not be for hair. For example, it could be used for grass on a terrain or broom thistles. People with only Carrara 5 or earlier may substitute a customized terrain for the hair requirement. The hair function is the result of going to Carrara's top menu and selecting INSERT : HAIR Purchased hair is fine. Feel free to put a fur collar on that Santa Claus coat, or fur on the easter bunny, or use the hair to make tinsel, or twist some hair to create a rope.
2. Images must be new (previously unpublished).
3. Images must be primarily set up in Carrara.
4. Images must be rendered in Carrara or in an external renderer for which there is a Carrara plug-in (e.g. LuxRenderer, Octane).
5. At least one WIP (work in progress) image must be posted to the WIP thread that includes how the hair function was used in the scene
7. Screen shot of the scene in Carrara to be included in WIP - (sorry added this later).
8. Each participant may submit up to 3 images into the Challenge.
Please note, there is no requirement for the winner to host the next challenge, unless they want to.

As with the last challenge because we are having up to three images an entrant we WILL judge the winner by their scores combined. ie if their image 1 gets 24 votes, their image 2 gets 12 votes, and their image 3 gets 12 votes then they score 48.
2nd and third and HM would be as per usual - ie based on votes for one image.
EDICT AS THIS MONTH'S CARRARA CHALLENGE TYRANT
The rules for Its Raining Men challenge permit participation in another Daz contest as long as it is posted to Its Raining Men first. http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/123611/it-s-raining-men-again-competition-starts-now/p1 ; If Carrara people can comply with both, (timing could be an issue, and female figures may only be in supporting roles if appear in the image), then the render may also be submitted to this month's Carrara challenge. Go forth and interact with the larger Daz community. Good folks out there.
