    Hey everyone. I'm just popping in to see what kind of interest ther is in having the Raining Men Contest again. I've been super busy since June and I haven't been on the forums as much as I should be so I'm kind of out of touch. I have way too many projects and not enough time type of stuff going. However, I'll still run the contest again this year if everyone thinks there will be enough interest. So, lay it on me, give me your thoughts. Because if we're going to do this I need to start soliciting prizes in October.

    You know I'm interested.

    Already thinking about what to do for my entries…!

  • MollytabbyMollytabby Posts: 1,163

    I'd like to have a go this year. It looked like fun smiley. So, yes, I'd be interested too.

    I LOVE the raining men contest, it's one of my favorite contests. Would be sad if it didn't happen, but can understand if you have too much on your plate Knittingmommy

    I'd be interested in the contest, though I'd need a review of the parameters.

    I would expect the rules to be much the same as those for the last contest:

    Knittingmommy said:

    So show us your best Male renders.
    Any Humanoid Male figures can be used. 
     

    The Challenge has Two Parts
    Prizes for Be    st Render, 2nd and 3rd Places
    Separate prize for B    est, Most Original Re-Purposed Non-Male clothing Item 
    (Please note this doesn't mean just stuffing poor Michael (or whoever) into a dress -  it needs to be a genuine alternative usage of a non-male item.) Chohole has kindly donated a $30 dollar prize for the best, most original use of a female item. This image from the first It's Raining Men contest would be a perfect example of what we are hoping to see. 


    All images will be entered for Best Image; any image which uses and mentions a re-purposed item also will be entered for Best, Most Original re-purposed item. However no image can win the same level in both categories.
    For the re-purposing voters should favor those who give some explanation of how they re-purposed.
    Donations to the prize kitty by both Vendors and Forum members will be gratefully appreciated. We will continue to take prize donations until the end of the contest.

    Challenge starts now, November 1, and will end on December 31 midnight DAZ time, to give you plenty of time to do your best for our poor hard done by 3D men.

    Rules  

    1.  You can enter up to 3 Images
    2.  Entries must all be new renders.
    3.  Please submit your entries to the Entry thread with an attached file for voting purposes.  We do need the attachments to compile the voting thread.  In the spirit of the contest, please post your entries here before entering other DAZ contests.  Entries can be submitted to other DAZ contests once they have been entered here as long as it isn't expressly prohibited by the other contest.  Yes, you can post to your DAZ Gallery and your Deviant Art gallery. Being able to post to your DA gallery was widely requested last year and so we are allowing that this year.
    4.  Entries can use any render engine/program of choice as long as the main focus is the male figure.
    5.  Title is optional, but please state if your image is to be considered for the Re-Purposing category by tagging it Re-Purposed.  You can tag an image Re-Purposed by putting the word Re-Purposed somewhere in your post when you submit your image to the Entry Thread. 
    6.  Postwork is allowed.   
    7.  Female figures are allowed in an image, but the main focus of the image must be the male figure.
    8.  Keep it within the TOS.
    9.  Re-Puposed Category - This category is to take an article of clothing NOT designed for the males and using it on or with the male figure in a new way.  This does not mean throwing the male into a dress and calling it done.  For inspiration, please check out voting threads from previous years in the links and look for those images which are tagged Re-Purposed.
    10.  Female morphs are not allowed in this competition including, but not limited to, the use of such products as GenX which enable users to apply female morphs onto the male body.  We want to concentrate on the male figure.  However, scripts that allow artists to swap UVs allowing female skins to be used on the male figure WILL BE ALLOWED as no morphing is involved and UV swapping is a pretty common occurrence for most of us.
    11.  Swapping out an entry is allowed as long as your final entry is in by the "end date".  No swapping will be allowed once I've posted the  'Contest Closed' post and whatever image you have posted at that time is the entry you will have to keep.
    12. Prize listing for Special Carrara Incentive.  If your entry was made in Carrara, please post a screenshot of your entry in Carrara in your entry post along with your entry.

    Thanks, Carola laugh

    In the meantime, here's something new.  Not 100% happy with it, but it's too close to bedtime to worry about it.

    A couple of new things from me: Bucky

    And Beach Brute

  • NathNath Posts: 3,048

    Here's a few older Bucky/Winter Soldiery things I did. I've also been trying to get a Sebastian Stan look-alike, but it's not quite there yet.

    Thank you. Yours is a good start, I'd maybe narrow his mouth a bit, but he looks good thus far.

    Thank you - I really should pick this project up again, maybe move to G8.

  • zombietaggerungzombietaggerung Posts: 3,938

    I really like the cowboy portrait. Well done. yes

  • KnittingmommyKnittingmommy Posts: 8,191

    Looks like there's still interest. I'll be posting a thread soon to get the ball rolling on prize donations and see what shakes out. I have projects that are almost done outside of Daz so my time away from the forums won't be quite so bad as it has been the last few months. 

  • xmasrosexmasrose Posts: 1,409

    Good news, that's a great contest!

  • TimbalesTimbales Posts: 2,451
    I'm almost done with my own personal "Man of the Day" challenge in my Deviant Art gallery, so this will be fun.

    I'd be super interested in another Raining Men challenge...it's what I was looking for two days ago when I dived back into the forums and got distracted (again) by all the amazing threads--just found this today... :-)
