...was there a penguin on top of it?
Posting as we speak! Please give me the 2 minutes it takes to upload...
Stupid DAZ site with it's stupid 1AM "uploading everything to the store, so the entire site stops working." I hope this counts!!

Title: Cutting the Graaz
The Night Elves were losing the war against their evil enemies. It would be mere days before they fell to the Graaz. In a last, desperate attempt to turn the tide, the last Sorceress chanted the sacred text... well... almost.
She had asked for a weapon that would cut down the Graaz. But she apparently didn't enunciate clearly...

Neither frog nor penguin!! :lol: And it was an unholy mess. Clear water, but water EVERYWHERE. Maybe I should be thinking "penguin" in the future!
Even if the render doesn't count, I am very proud that I (almost) managed ALL SEVEN renders before the deadline! It's a first for me!
And now that the render AND toilet are taken care of, I shall go back and look at all the amazing things you all did while I was stuck in RL!
Well, you got a lot closer than I did. My #7 is still a WIP that needs a easy hour to finish. Well I'm gonna breath a minute or two and then go finish it just to post as a NEA. Piddle, why did I play with those shaders for so long? ARGH!!
..I'm still shocked that I was able to pull off a second one and that was with about a two and a half hour break to sit in the sun at the local Bierstube.

...nice one.
Maybe they can mulch their enemies.
Hopefully it gets accepted, not every day does one's dunny just explode.

Holy crap!!
Um, no pun intended. Okay, maybe a little, but....
How does something like that happen? Did the tank rupture, or something?

Wow!!! Some awesomely wonderful renders in the past few days. Kyoto Kid and KaribousBoutique, Ken, MelanieL Barbult et al. And ending the contest with an exploding toilet story! Classic. ;-P
I take that as a compliment Ken ;-)
Good! Because that's how I meant it!
Totte is an inspiration to me for sure to post stuff, in spite of my fear and shame. And I meant that as a compliment too, Ken, %-P
I think Karribou just defined the theme for the next contest.... Freak Accidents ;-)
Gonna set up voting this evening btw ;)

Freak Accidents sounds as good as Refused Sports! And that was AWESOME!

I look forward to Freak Accidents!! Glad the exploding toilet was inspirational!!
I fell asleep halfway through catching up on my comments from this contest. I must go finish them before something else in the house explodes...
@Ken OBanion / @KaribousBoutique - thanks for the tips, one day I'll try out Poser properly. I won a copy of Poser 10 in a prize draw and installed it but found it hard to find my way around (I started dabbling in DAZ Studio in 2010 and have almost found my way round that!) Maybe I should try reading the manual too :red: I'm impressed with the examples shown here. (I also took at look at your "full" version of "Shrouded", KB - it's lovely!)
@barbult "Pigeon Poop Patrol" - great idea, really funny - I like the way you used the Mil Big Cat. I thought you'd decided to sit this RRRR out, but here you are with just hours to go...
@Kyoto Kid "uhhh, Mr Soldier" - ooh, scary! I love the use of the toxic puddle and the colours here, and that arm...
@KaribousBoutique "Cutting the Graaz" - another clever idea, reminds me of the trouble folks have with those automated answering systems that completely mishear whatever is said - neat use of the lawnmower and another super render. (Hope Totte lets you off for those 12 minutes - looks like he allowed an extra hour - congrats on the 7/7 if so!) Hope you've dried out by now too :)
@Totte - Freak Accidents sounds like a fun idea
Thanks, Kyoto Kid and MelanieL, for your comments. I had almost decided to sit this one out - not because I wanted to, but because I was overwhelmed with other things going on. I drew my items weeks ago, but I never had time to invest in it. Then I saw Ken's "12 hour" message and it was do or die! So I "did". I was feeling too sad at the thought of being left out of the fun. Now I need to go back and look at all of the entries. I'm sure I've missed lots of entertaining renders while I've been inattentive to the forums. Getting the email notices sure seems intermittent.
...was there a penguin on top of it?
And did the penguin have "Property of the Zoo" stamped on it?
I'm sorry I wasn't able to do more than the one entry. Sometimes life gets in the way.
What is this "life" you speak of? ;-)

...that thing which keeps demanding all of your attention thus distracting you from more important things like creating and rendering scenes?
BTW thanks for the link to your water shader. Came in real handy.
I'm humbled, thanks so much. I think it could have turned better if there were not limits set for my software... The full version is around 4000 pixels long :shut: ! I research fantasy and gaming culture, so I couldn't resist.
Listen up!
I'm making the vote setup, and some entries in the entries thread, all by the same person, does not conform to the rules about how an entry post should be written. There is a reason for this rule, it makes setting up the voting feasible, those entries has to conform or be DNF:ed.
Mine are correct, right? I included the number tag (I made three), my nick and the title. Even a short link to the post... Please tell me if it is correct, if not, apologies and let me correct it. It is the first time I play in RRRR...

Nope, they are not, look how every other entry is tagged, and there is a description in the first post, and all other first time players got it right.

Entries must conform to that!
I don't play, but I do watch, and the first post says

Glad you found it useful. I purposely tried to keep it simple so the reflective and refractive would be easy to adjust.
Love that render. :)
Thanks. A lot of weird goes on in my mind. :cheese:
(For mine, Emotiguy was just an extra and not part of the actual pull. Although I did notice Summertime Grill in a number of pulls)
As I was sifting through the thread, typing up my comments, I realized that HastyDave's entries aren't in the entries-only thread. Shall I PM him, or is it already too late?
...so I hope that both of mine are good. Are they?

Looks like you did it correctly
