There may be a couple I missed in there. I can't wait to see the final entry!
Hey, look! The pulp WIP thread has a freebie. Thanks to the generosity of Evilpoducer, the Martian war machine is available for free. Head on over and check it out.
It's a great reason to dust off your copy of Carrara or even open it for the first time!

Thanks! It actually looks like I've done something. I'm trying to wrap it up, but Halloween parties keep conspiring against me. EEK!
Wow! evilproducer that's awesome!

Also, there are some great Carrara tips in the last few pages of the WIP thread, so anyone with Carrara, or interested how people use it, should stop by there as well.
In Case you missed it in the last two posts:
Voting for the Carrara October Challenge has begun!!! Voting is open to anyone with a DAZ 3D account (this means YOU), so please stop by and vote for your favorite entries here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/47729/
Even if you don't want to vote, please stop by and check out the outstanding entries. Everyone did some excellent and extremely creative work work on this challenge (except for me, but I had fun with mine :roll: )!!
I would also like to encourage folks to head on over, check out the images, and vote! Heck, if it's slow and your bored, it gives you something to do, or maybe pick up an inspiration or two!

By the way, unlike some contests hosted at the DAZ 3D forums, many of these take full advantage of the generous file dimensions (2000 x 2000 max. pixels) that DAZ 3D lets us upload! Make sure to click on the embedded thumbnails in the entries to see the full resolution images!
Remember, click for BIG!
We've had amazing interest in this month's theme, the artists have outdone themselves, and we've had an incredible number of views of the WIP and Submissions thread. Thank you so much!!! All we need now is for everyone who checked out the WIP and Submissiions threads to come tell the artists what they thought of their work and VOTE!!! Voting is open to anyone with a DAZ 3D account. You get to vote for 3 entries and make suggetions for Honorable Mention!!!! The voting thread is a mere click away.... right .... here http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/47729/.
This lovely cover by Antara pretty much says it all....
I might start a movement to draft the "Vote Now" render to win the challenge. That is beautiful. It is worth it to head over and see the render that the artist did submit instead!
It was hard to choose, but I finally voted.
anyone with a Daz account can vote here

Same here! Very tough choices, but well worth time looking at all the great pictures!
Happy Halloween!!!
Great render, SukyL. Belated Happy Halloween to you.

Thanks diomede!
Voting is open until Monday, Nov 6, around 10pm US Mountain Standard (DAZ) Time. You don't have to be a Carrara user to vote you just need to be able to post to the DAZ forums. Comments are appreciated, but not required.
The artists worked very hard and would love feedback from others who didn't participate in the challenge.
If I can get my crap together and vote, so can you! As they say in Chicago, vote early, vote often! ;-)
Well, just the three votes actually, and a nomination for an honorable mention if the mood moves you.

Networthy has very kindly taken the time to post a final WIP, detailed product list (with links!) and finished render of his cover, even though he wasn't able to enter it in time. Thanks for a job well done Networthy, and thanks for taking the time to describe your workflow and provide screen shots.
