Kindly Sponsored by OrestesGraphics and Daz

Please see new concept rules for voting - at end of this post

With things going on In the last winners life I have volunteered to run the challenge again.

But also in honor of what is going on in Phil's family life we have come up with the theme of Marriage.

That could be as simple as portraying a couple, but could also be putting two disparate items together that would not be usual, or any kind of "joining together"

So the rules are simple:

1) Make a render having to deal with the theme of Marriage..

It could be a design of a new shader Joining two or more basic shaders with the layer shader options.

It could be a Car crashed into a tree in an unintended Marriage of Carnage.

It could be Sci FI shotgun wedding because someone was messing around with the wrong alien

Or it could be a traditional Marriage style image in either Realistic style or non photo-realistic style. 

Basic rules will be:

1. Each participant may submit up to 3 images into the Challenge.

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 Images must be new (previously unpublished).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

7. Screen shot of the scene in Carrara to be included in WIP - (sorry added this later).

Please note, there is no requirement for the winner to host the next challenge, unless they want to.

CONCEPT VOTING RULES PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT

As with the last challenge because we are having up to three images an entrant we could 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.

This seemed to work quite well.
