Many fantastic renders here.
In this forum, I'm a newbie. I could not refrain from entering, however, given the great number of wonderful freebies given away.
I tend to show my works elsewhere, I must confess. But this one is a first here at Hivewire.
Freebies from the 'stay home spread hope challenge' used:

• Diva for Dawn
• Lisa's botanicals potted palm
• Hivewire house cat (twice)
• Cat double bed
• Flower Fountain and bird bath

Other items are mostly freebies from other providers. The painting on the wall is an original pastel drawing by me (though the height/width ratio was accidentally changed in the 3d model) and the object on the table was also made by me.
I textured several items with procedural textures in Bryce Pro 7.1, that I also used for rendering. I used the sun, an IBL from the sky, some lights in the lamp and the fountain and a fill light in the room.

This is a great scene. Tells a story. All elements are well done! That train reminds me of the short trip on the train at Clark's Trading Post in Lincoln, NH! Similar passenger car, too.

I just love the idea of offering free stuff to get our creative juices flowing. I used Molar Island, the Fantasy Gazebo, and the Bellflowers to create the following island in the sky. I love the idea of floating islands, so this was a great chance to make some of my own...with the perfect models as well! Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have a question.
I'm not planning to enter the challenge so as to compete, but I would like to follow the rules of the "game" and share an image, just as a Not-an-Entry. But I'm working a lot as usual, and these days _all_ of it is done via the computer, which means that I try to spend my free time doing other things. So there is a chance that I may not manage to get my image finished on time. Could I still share it here after the challenge is over, then?

This is not an entry in this contest, I just wanted to join everyone in this fun Challenge. What wonderful work you have all done! The judges are going to have a difficult time picking winners.

I enjoyed using Ken's SBRM Parrot Play Pen offered free for the Stay Home - Spread Hope Challenge. It fits perfectly in The Aviary that Ken did.

Instead of locking the thread on June 1st, we will leave it open noting that all entries after May 31st do not count toward and entry.

Enjoy creating!

OK, this was fun. This is Tommy Toon in Poser, I found some props I kinda liked so I made a little composition. Rendered it out and added some extras in Photoshop. I rather like it. FUN! It's like a Mystic Tommy! LOL OH, and NOT an entry. I didn't use any of the free content!

 

[Pendraia]

Did another Diva (not sure why she has creases in her armpits) piece of artwork... This time using a dress that Pendraia recommended... I added a little dforce to the dress to make some folds and created my own fabric with the sunflowers. ENJOY!
"Diva"

I'm not sure why you would have gotten creases. Is it a Diva specific pose? If not it might just be that the arms need adjusting slightly. I always found with the expressions that 50% dialed in worked better than 100%.

Finally got mine done! Decided I wanted to make a a coloring book design.

Love this! Could you let me know what filter you used to get this? thanks!

 

[Wildlyfe]

Love this! Could you let me know what filter you used to get this? thanks!

Nothing special, actually. I used the Photoshop CS3 Poster Edges filter several times, and played around with saturation, hue, brightness and contrast, exposure, and various layer modes like soft light. I used the paint brush to soften out the darker areas that still remained, and added outlines in places where it had been faded out or was missing.

 

[Wildlyfe]

I'm loving it! I'm sure it looks great in full color as well.

Thank you! I had been thinking about submitting it in color too.

Just a silly little image showing the trials of gardening in a small terraced house when surrounded by cats.
The Hivewire cat is rolling in the window box while having his chin scratched by BlackHearted's GND2. In doing so he's flattened at least two HW tulips. The next boxes have HW Day Lily's and more Tulips. In the gravel on the ground in the corner is some self-sown HW Black Eyed Susan along with a Hydrangea from Rendo. The Millenium Cat LE is about to whack a Dragonfly resting on Glamorous Vickie's knee, and consequently Vickie's tea is shortly to go flying. Both figures are Victoria 3 based, as I wanted to try them in DS4.11 and iRay. I got them in 2004/5 for Poser4 initially, then DS 0.7 and after that took a 12 year break from playing with 3D figure software until 2019.

Anyway, thanks for the HW freebies, it has been great fun creating this image, even though my cats didn't stay still long enough to model for either cat pose.

Regards,

Richard.

Not an entry (only used the Mother and Child Poses by Pommerlis)

Water Baby

Dawn, Luna, the cute little Chug, and some shells and seagulls. I recently bought a set of iray lights by Fabiana and am still playing around with its features. Not sure why the clouds engulfed some of my birds but eventually I'll figure it out.

I'm glad we can keep posting. I just didn't have time to do as many renders as I'd hoped -- and looks like folks are still having a lot of fun with it.

Wonderful image! I do know why your seagulls are dong that- I love that set! (Heck I love all Fabi's light sets Basically some of your seagulls are "behind" the cloud plane- that's what's making them that way.
