• Welcome to the Community Forums at HiveWire 3D! Please note that the user name you choose for our forum will be displayed to the public. Our store was closed as January 4, 2021. You can find HiveWire 3D and Lisa's Botanicals products, as well as many of our Contributing Artists, at Renderosity. This thread lists where many are now selling their products. Renderosity is generously putting products which were purchased at HiveWire 3D and are now sold at their store into customer accounts by gifting them. This is not an overnight process so please be patient, if you have already emailed them about this.

Okay, folks. The Render Challenge is officially over and we are not counting any images for judging that were uploaded after midnight May 31. The thread will remain open so you can continue to upload and share here.

I have downloaded a bit more than half of the images in the thread (skipping those that were marked 'not an entry') and will be gathering the rest and sending a package out for judging. We are striving to have winners selected and announced by Friday, June 19th.

In the mean time, we are posting entries twice a day on our Facebook page and will be doing some additional things to spread hope here and there.

Thank you all so much for your caring and your enthusiasm in sharing your messages of hope with others. :thankyou2:

This is exciting. So happy that Lisa came up with this idea. Also very glad that Laurie Prindle who owns part of the House Cat and Whisper revenue was so eager to jump at the chance to support the freebies, so that everyone can have some fun in these recent times of stress and concern.

I agree with Lisa's initial comment that creating things we love with others can help us all to feel some relief. By being a part of this challenge I believe folks in this community can rally around each other for support and share in something fun to take our minds off of the social distancing and other important things we need to be doing. We can continue to feel close here and share in the creative process.

Let the rendering begin!
