    How to get your tomato

    Any way you can ( legally ) 
    The easiest way is to download the free 'Killer Tomato' donated by GKDantas.
    His "Killer Tomato" scene was 100% modeled in Carrara.  You can download the complete scene here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h6tk46b3bu6s74r/KillerTomato Public.zip?dl=0
    No sign is is required to download... I know as I downloaded it. But if you have problems let us know and we will try and work something out.

    Thank you Marcelo!

    A real cool way is to model your own tomato in your favourite modelling software ( a good challenge ) and go ballistic... one of our Carrara'ists may post a detailed step through on how to model your very own tomato ( extra Tommie points may be earned ) What every 'Supweme Wuler' wants and I want your tomatoes!

    There is a tomato at ShareCG as well you can use....

    Would be good but not a requirement
    To use in addition or to compliment your Tomato et al., is to use one of our Carrara PA's products in your final image ( if you have any that is ).

    How Many Times Can I Enter?
    You can do as many WiP works as you please, maybe even get some tips/hints off other Carrara'ists on which WiPs are more betterer than others... but don't be fooled if there is a rotten tomato out there!

    You can ENTER as many final works in the ENTRY Thread as you like... go for it

    No other requirements are needed but if you do model or use special lighting or maybe use some hair on your tomato it would be great to show how and would probably earn extra tommie points.

    Most of all have fun, your only limitation is your imagination of tomatoes. And ask for help if you get stuck on something.. we are all here to help you.

    As the host I won't enter any images in the entry thread but will post every now and then my tomato render in the WiP thread... well, probably more times than not.

    Clarification on PR/NPR/Postwork

    Most votes single PR image No Postwork:  $50.00 towards DAZ 3D owned item(s)

    PR = PhotoRealistic setting in Carrara render room.. Only postwork allowed is your signature nothing else


    Most votes single PR/NPR/Postwork image Postwork allowed:  $50.00 towards DAZ 3D owned item(s)

    PR = PhotoRealistic with postwork to fix up or add stuff
    NPR = Non PhotoRealistic setting in Carrara render room with postwork
    Postwork = as it suggests... postwork your image type to your hearts content.

    In other words any image with postwork apart from signature


    DAZ's Choiciest Juiciest Tomato image:  $45.00 towards DAZ 3D owned item(s)

    as chosen by a DAZ Rep

    Suspect that both of you are right... probably Easy As Pie for Stezza. :)

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,501

    Yummy! I love pie! I hope I don't have to render it though... I usually eat it before I can get the lighting just right :(

    Did you know that in order to be called "Fancy," ketchup has to have 33% tomato solids in it? And this is challenge #33. And there have been a lot of tomatos around here lately.  The first track on Weird Al's last album is a spoof of the song "Fancy" and the THIRD track on the album is "Foil" which is all about conspiracies! Connect the dots people! surprise 

     

    I'm not crazy; your're crazy! Oh, the nice men in white are here to take me away...

    But does a tomato have to be a plant of the type that is red, has the seeds on the inside, grows on a vine, and is sometimes made into ketchup?  Or, can a tomato be a pinup girl?

     

    Tomato

    Tomato [1920s+] - a very attractive girl or young woman (the name implies “luscious” and desireable, “ripe” as far as physical maturity. Considered disrespectful)

    @Diomede I like the way you are thinking 

    no... I love the way you are thinking... let your imagination go wild..

    Just waiting on confirmation on DAZ's continued support...

    but I can say that 

    Larsen will be a sponsor for this challenge -- yay 

    and I am also going to kick in a $5 Gift Card for my favourite image - Being the 'Supweme Wuler' I can be bribed...

    Hopefully you will find the guidelines of the challenge easy and open to your imagination of which @Diomede has already shown.. don't feel restricted because of rules... don't even look at the rules... heck, I don't think there are any!

    just do your thing when the Challenge Topic is posted.. whatever that may be devil

    ha ha,

    Q why did the toilet roll down to the hill

    A to get to the bottom of things...

    I know it doent have tomato in it but you said there were no rules.

    By the way I went to school with 'Al'.

    I havent seen him for a while and when I saw you wanted a render of a tomato with Al I was getting worried.

    Lucky you explained !

     

    so here's an Al joke folloing on from your killer tomato joke

    Q What do you get when you cross Al Capone and Al Pacino

    A: A. Cappucino
