OK, just checking, but your render, when I downloaded it for inclusion in the gallery when the render challenge is over, and the judges have made their decisions, was named Zombie Dawn. I just want to make sure that's the full title you want for your entry.

Yeah. I didn't really have a good title for it.

I used the beanstalk, Sora for Dawn, Sweat Pants for Baby Luna, a modified sugar and spice pose for Dawn, Creepier trees, and though you can't see it Dawn is also wearing the leotard part of the dazzling denim.

Thank you so much for all the cool items you provided. I have been enjoying them immensely.

I read in other posts that we were to say what it meant to us that we are all in this together. I don't know if this will make it in time for the challenge, though I hope so. It'll be my 3rd entry. However I wanted to share it either way. Yesterday I lost my 9 year old chihuahua ESA to an illness that veterinarians could not diagnose. I spent much of my funds since February of this year trying to save her. (managing to scrape together enough to finally get Dawn!) but now she is gone.

What it means to me that we are all in this together? We are all on Earth together. Whatever goes on we all experience sadness, and joy. We all feel. We all bleed. We can all lift each other up. And also, it's not just us but God and the angels are in this too. They see us when we cry and cry with us. They smile when we smile. So we really are all in this together. If you are not a believer in this as I, just disregard. I mean no insult or attack, etc. I'm just in grief and can imagine tears. And anyone else out there experiencing tears, I want to send you digital comforts. We are all in this together.

I am also sorry about your loss, Phoenix. Times like this are never easy. :grouphug:

Oh, and your entry is in, as the Render Challenge doesn't end until midnight tomorrow.
 
Hi Phoenix,
I sympathize with you.
We lost our beloved little tomcat Timmy two weeks ago. 250 m away from home, run over by a car. He was only 1 year and 3 months old. He was our little boy, the only boy among three girls from the same litter (unfortunately his brother had not survived the birth). And now I have to stop, my tears are running again.
Feel hugged.

Thank you to Vendors throughout the 3D community for their inspiring products.

NB: Loik in this image is just being Loik. He insisted on climbing the tree. Inspite of his precarious position he did manage to hang on until the image had finished rendering. His friends carried out a largly successful rescue operation as soon as they were able to. He will, I am told, recover fairly quickly, infact I have been reliably informed that he is already plotting his next adventure.

A gift of fruit, a gift of flowers, a smile a wave, a message of hope, small acts of kindness help the world go round.

WOW, now that's one heck of a composition Rosie!! Very well done. :D

I wouldn't want to hazard a guess how long that would take to render, but then again, they could be a lot of small scenes composed together in postwork. Amazing!

Thanks Miss B - It took 15 hours to render in Poser Superfly - Conversations took about 10 hours - No postwork on either of them - Only the lettering was postworked on Heart Song - the file size for Small Acts of Kindness was enormous, it took about 10 mins just to think about opening up in Poser.
I keep promising myself that I will work on something less complex, it was one of the reasons I started using 3D - I used to spend hours on paintings with knotwork and small details - I guess I have to finally own it as being 'my style' :cautious:

Lots of great images everyone. I was hoping to find time today to try to get something done, but it was an exhausting day of gathering chemicals for disposal, and sorting boxes of family memorabilia for disposal, and it has left me drained. I did not even make as much headway as I hoped.

Good Luck everyone! I didn't get a chance to get anything done this time, though I still have ideas for the future. Thanks to all the vendors who offered free and discounted products again too! :)
