    A few more WIPS

    Height map for terrain was made in Photoshop using a shape with a gradient. 'Hero Shadow' on the glowing timegate was used a Shadow Catcher. Shadow pass...ugh, I ran out of time...barely noticeable.

    Very nice, love how the final image turned out! And I am enamoured of that shadow pass!

    No point in extending it for me.  However, if anyone is interested in how I made curly hair that could be straightened by getting wet, see here.

    Thanks fir for that explanation. , ! Whenever I do stuff like that the vertex order gets shuffled or the morph target obj comes in at a different size or position

    Thanks head wax!

    Years ago I found an old chart for making your own passes...you can find it here:

    http://www.g-3d.com/Newer_AAC_3d_multi.html

    I think the native shadow pass from Carrara only renders cast shadows? I don't know, sometimes when I use it it looks painfully anemic, full of jaggies. For mine I set the Background to pure white, then created a 'white shader' where all channels are set to 'none', except color, which is set to pure white. Apply that shader to everything in your scene and render. 

    Here is a link to a recent test I did trying to manipulate a bunch of custom passes in post vs. Carrara's native Realistic Sky/Atmosphere:

    I didn't really take advantage of it in the image for challange because I got kind of discombobulated at the end. Anyways...

    The unforeseen downside to cannibalism?

     

    Nope.  Too cerebral.

    Hey UB one idea is to illustrate a quote from a book or poem.

    Lot's of examples here. You could give five examples and people could pick another if they wanted 

    https://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/books/the-40-most-powerful-literary-quotes/96712

    eg  from that list

     

    "Terror made me cruel"

    “The only people for me are the mad ones."

    "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." 

    ​The beautiful thing on that site is that the book cover illustrations that are featured with the quotes are very evocative.

    40 most powerful quotes?  40th challenge?  could be a good fit.

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    The quote from 1984 has been used already,  Was the PC club render challenge theme for last month

    How's about     "I had this weird dream"

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    how about ... pick one of the 1-38 challenges and render something for it?

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,051
