Comments
Considering the month's theme, could we add Daz-branded animals to the no-count list?
Your render does not have to be about animals that was just my idea, but if you do use Daz Animals yes it goes on the "No Count" list.
Unless Daz 3D store gives one as a freebie with the Daz Bi-Weekly freebies through the month.
I am sorry I made a mistake answering that question, the Daz Animals go under "Paid For" listing.
And what are the rules for Hiro 5 and Aiko 5 base figure, are they considered as paid item?
yes they would be Unless they are with in the bi-weekly freebies within the month
I've never done this before and am hoping that this month I have the time. Question, can postwork freebies count, like brushes and such? And if you use a paid environment like a room that came with a ton of props, does the whole set count as one paid item? Thanks.
Sorry to be contrary, Saph, but in answering Milos' question, I believe that the A3 and H3 figures would be "no counts", not paid items, as per rule No. 3: "Base figures (All Gen 2,3,4, and Genesis 1,2,3) as well as their general morphs packs (Morphs++ and similar) do not count as a purchased item or a freebie". The Hiro and Aiko figures are base Gen 3 figures.
As I understand it, what you're saying is true for Aiko/Hiro 3. Milos asked about Aiko/Hiro 5 though, and those are not base figures. They are based on Genesis.
Yes that is true about A3&H3 as they are base figures butttttt A5&H5 are not base figures so therefore they are considered "Paid For" items.
Yes I agree with you @Hylas A5&H5 are not base figures so therefore are under "Paid For" items.
Oops, sorry all. My bad. I don't know why I looked at a five and saw a three. I guess I'm just too accustomed to associating Aiko and Hiro with the generation 3 versions.
Yes, I am using H5 and A5, and this month I have to finish my entry :) hopefully. Thanks for answer.
Too much Monty Python?
Yes, it counts as a single item.
I am sorry @Wonderland I missed your question but I am glad Tramp Graphics answered it for me!

NAE (Not An Entry) - Love Me Love My Log
I really wanted him to be more trollish, dragging a log on a lead.
NAE (Not An Entry) - Love Me Love My Dog
Just the three figures, basic positioning, and poses. Then I was bored.
NAE (Not An Entry) - Love Me Love My Bog
I was too lazy to even do a render for this, but I found an old picture that sort of fits...although it should be a bit less lake-y and a bit more boggy
(Edit: but I've found another old picture that, with the addition of some free (to meet the criteria of this challenge) clothing (to meet the DAZ forum tos), might fit the theme rather well)

Thanks. I've copied it to the entries thread.
I'm now also considering Frog and Hog as possibilities... but luckily I don't seem to have any in my runtime.
"But what I do have," to paraphrase that godawful film, "is a unique set of hoggyish-type* characters." (Although nothing froggyish)
*I don't care what you think - Hippos are hoggyish ! ;o)
I would have to agree with you Pete Hippo's are very hoggish!
I just can not wait to see what you come up with for this one!!

Awesome render @Hylas! Really beautiful!
But I wonder (and not for the first time) why the G8M Head Morphs (https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-male-head-morphs) and G8M Body Morphs (https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-male-body-morphs) are listed under No-Count items? Or do you mean the Body and Head morphs that come with the Genesis 8 Male base figure? (The (paid) Genesis 8 Male Body Morphs are required by the Rex for Genesis 8 Male character...)
Thanks!
As I understand it, the basic morph packs are No Counts... when I use further morph packs (such as SWOLE or 200 Plus) I list them under purchased.
The Victoria 4.2 and Michael 4 Shapes++ (Head and Body Morphs++) have been freebies occasionally, as well as the Victoria 4.2 and Michael 4 Creature Creator Morphs but I'm not sure whether they (the C.C.M.) fall under 'similar'. I also own the Genesis Evolution: Head Morphs and the Genesis Evolution: Body Morphs but they came with the Michael 5 Pro Suite so they are purchased. What I am saying is that none of the Head or Body Morph packages for Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 has ever been a freebie and therefor I think it's very strange that they do not count as purchased. @Saphirewild, can you please clarify on this?
I wanted to answer this question first before I checked over your links @Hylas!
To answer this question I went to a higher rank then myself and here is her answer:

occasional freebies will only count if they are free during the month of the contest.
