New User's Contest - September 2014

Sponsored by DAZ 3D

Are you new to the 3D World? Are you at the beginning stages of learning 3D rendering? Have you been around for a little bit but feel you could benefit from some feedback or instruction? Have you been around awhile and would like to help other members start their creative journey? Well then come and join the fun as we host our newest contest...

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"My New Favorite Item"

Intent: To use lighting to attractively display your subject, and (optionally) to find an unconventional way to use a product in a render

In this contest, your task is to create a render that prominently features your favorite new item released during the PA sale (freebies are fine, but it needs to be an item released at daz3d.com during the month of September 2014). You are encouraged (but not required) to find a creative and unexpected way to use the product. Additional rule for this month: when you post your WIP or final image, please include the name of the new product you are using.

The other Community Volunteers and I will be checking in on the WIP THREAD to try and help with anything you all may need.

For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread :Contest Rules
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When working on your submissions, if you would like to get feedback as you work or before posting your final image, please post your image to the WIP THREAD. People will be popping in to the WIP THREAD to give you some critique and advice on your entry and help along the way.

Please keep all comments on entries etc to the WIP THREAD as well because comments or requests for help/feedback/advice will be removed from the contest thread and merged into the WIP THREAD. This thread is only for posting final contest submissions.

For those veterans of the forums that would like to help, because this contest is designed for the beginner to learn from, we will be randomly selecting posts offering helpful tips and/or critiques to receive a special voucher as well so, whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, there is fun for everyone!

Closing Date: October 7th 2014
