The Final Render Challenge

:bulletblue: The Journal: [link]

:bulletblue: The News Article: [link]

:bulletred: Notice:

This is the final Open Render Challenge, and thus the last chance to become a Finalist. After this Challenge, only Finalists will be able to compete for the Grand Prizes



:bulletblue:The Theme

      Dark

:bulletblue:Time Frame

Starts November 15th, ends December 15th at Midnight U.S. Eastern Time (GMT-5)

:bulletblue:Discripition

In past challenges we have explored Fantasy, Sc-fi and Comic genres. We have also enjoyed emotions such as love and humor as well. Now, for our final challenge, we will delve deeper and explore the darker recesses of our minds...

You deepest fear, your worst nightmare, the future you hope will not come to be, or the present in which we already live. Any genre is welcome, as long as it contains a dark atmosphere.

Fear, paranoia, suspense, mysterious, sadness, hopelessness, foreboding, ominous, sinister, disturbing, morose, and grim are some words that come to mind, just to name a few...

While some blood and gore is acceptable, we are not looking for blatant explicate gore or horror, for that is more of visual shock. What we are looking for is pieces which effect our mind, evoke emotions and give us a chill. This is not Halloween campiness, this is darkness at it's core. How deep are you willing to explore...

:bulletblue:The Rules

Must contain significant 3D elements.
Examples: Use of programs from such companies as Smith Micro, Daz 3D, e-on software, Autodesk, MAXON etc.

Postwork is acceptable.


:bulletblue: The Judges:

:iconsmithmicro: *SmithMicro

:icondaz-3d: *DAZ-3D

:iconaerysoul: *AerySoul

:iconjoannastar: ^joannastar

More to be released soon...

:bulletorange: The Prize List: [link]


:bulletblue:The Premise
"Render Challenge" is our monthly themed contest. It is designed to challenge us through subject matter, a timescale and a limitation. Themes will start off easy, but will quickly move on to more challenging subjects and rules meant to test us creatively and explore different genres, styles and subject matter. I will provide a list of subjects for our next contest, and you will be able to vote on which one you would like the most.

The real trick is, to compete in every one to truly test ourselves. The more out of our comfort zone the subject is, the more of a challenge it is for us. If we simply pick and choose that would be too easy, this is a challenge. So there will be a bonus for people who compete in every single challenge, and will be awarded at the end of the year.

:bulletblue:The Info:
A theme will be voted on each month by a public poll. Then members have one month to complete pieces in that theme. Voting will start on the last week of the month to decide the next months theme. The beginning of the next month a new contest will start and there will be a short voting period to decide the winner of the previous month. That winner will get a feature of that piece on our front page until the next winner is decided, as well as a feature in our monthly News. There will be a limitation chosen by myself every month, a rule that changes from month to month. The theme and rule will be posted at the top of this journal every month.

:bulletblue:The Finalists:
The winners of each month will be finalist's eligible to enter an end of the year challenge to compete with one another, exclusively for monthly winners only.

:bulletblue:The Wildcard:
I can pick one wild card to enter the final challenge, one artist who I think had a worthy piece but just didn't get the public vote and never won a contest. I will not play favorites, this decision will be based solely on artistic merit of a contest entry.

:bulletblue:The Judges:
The panel will consist of a special selection of guest Judges from the 3D Digital Scene.

:bulletblue:The Prizes:
Monthly features and prints. And a chance to win end of the year prizes such as 3D Programs, Gift Certificates, deviantART subscriptions and much more...

:bulletblue: Welcome

We're a community for artists on Deviantart who either use or enjoy Poser. Developed by Smith Micro Software; Poser is a 3D rendering and animation software program optimized for models that depict the human figure in three-dimensional form.



So this group is to showcase Poser Artists; who share their work, ideas, and techniques with others. So whether you render in Poser or simply enjoy the work, you are all welcome. Daz Users are also welcome




:bulletblue: Are you a Poser Addict?


Not sure if you are in denial or a true addict?

:bulletblue: Renovations...


With the new deviantART Groups System almost upon us, we are preparing for some major renovations to this Club. There are many new ideas in development for Poser Addicts which will revolutionize the way things are run.



We aim for this to be much more than just an art gallery club. Our goal is to become a place of valuable information, resources and content while providing an enjoyable interactive experience. This will be a place able to facilitate art enthusiasts, showcase Novice to Professional artists work, Software and Content Providers, Tutorials and Training, Trouble Shooting and much, much more...



Here are just a few new things in store for 2010: Contests, Artist of the Week/Month Awards, Monthly Artists/Merchant Interviews, Freebie Content and Tutorial Sections, Sponsors, Forums, Chat, a new format and a new look.



Members will be able to submit their own work to the Group themselves with Staff simply monitoring the Content. Software Companies, Content Providers and Vendors will have special access to the Group. As will people providing tutorials and Q&A Support. Many other benefits of the Group System will be utilized as well. <lp>

And there is a sister club in development at the moment which will encompass all 3D Aspects and programs, from modeling to rendering, even animation.



So stay tuned, this is just the beginning...




:bulletblue: Positions Available


We are looking for more people willing to help out with Join Requests, Affiliates, and Submissions. We are looking for people that can devote an hour or so once a week, at the very least. Though more time is definitely appreciated. If interested please send a note titled "Staff"




:bulletblue: Artists for Hire


Are you looking for an artist to hire?



Or maybe you are an artist looking to advertise and promote your services?



Either way, we have what you are looking for. An extensive directory of artists available for commission work.
