To kick things off I’m going to post two NAE’s. One was my entry from last year while the other was a render I did shortly after last year’s contest ended. I have an idea of what I want to do this year, just need to find time to work on it.
PROP PIMP KIT BASH CONTEST RULES
1. You must use parts from at least two different building sets and use shaders to retexture at least the main surfaces (external walls and roofs)
For the Prop kit bash contest, do the building set parts have to be used to create a building, or am I also allowed to use building set parts to modify a vehicle structure?
Do I have to use ALL the parts from each building set, or is it ok to use only some of the parts? For example, using just the corner tower from set 1, just a wall segment from set 2, a roof piece from set 3, etc.

You only need to use some of the parts. That’s what I meant in using the word “parts”. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
Yes they do. But kit bashing three outfits together using just dress, shoes and hat would probably not impress any contest judges who might be seeking something more inventive.

Got it, thanks!
I have one more question to add to the stack while waiting for your answer to the vehicles part of the previous question:
We are supposed to list which shaders we used. If I’m using Bryce, and have either created or modified an existing shader, I don’t have a name for it. should I just say “customized” and leave at that, or do I need to do anything more specific?

I guess I should have asked if accessories count, footwear, headwear, sashes, capes, stuff like that. I’m trying to be more creative this time, if I can’t do better then my last one I won’t be entering. lol

All those things are part of an outfit, so they count. I would view things that are carried such as bags and swords as accessories that don’t count because they are carried not worn.
Canary3d has done a tutorial on how to change mat zones on the fly in DS and Poser, and I’m sure she’ll post a link to it when she drops in. It is also included in my Pimp My Prop product.
An entry please let me know if it doesn’t meet the requirements, thanks.
