I debated doing Tourist sights, but decided to narrow it down a bit to increase the chalange.
Then I figured - "The world's largest..." but when I did a search, it boggled the mind.
So, Castle it is and if anyone wants to use those ideas, they are free. It can be a real castle, an imagined castle, modern - acient - whatever.

We have lots of new people joining TS since it became free, so I hope we get lots of entries.


Here's the rules (from Jack's original Challenge) :

The idea is to have a challenge that is geared more towards the complete 3D development cycle from concept through modeling, surfacing, lighting, rendering, and post process. This is a chance for TSer's to really show their stuff and help motivate the production of portfolio quality images.

1.) Submission expresses the topic. If topic is an object, then it must include at least one instance of the object which should be the focus of the image.
2.) Use your own work. No pre-made purchased or free models, please.
3.) Start a Work In Progress thread for your submission.
4.) Submission should be one image and a link to your WIP thread.
5.) Indicate tools used to create your submission. TS should be the primary application used to create the image. Post Processing in a paint program is ok.

*It's important that everyone who's planning to enter start a WIP thread.
You can do that by starting a thread in The Work In Progress Forum (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/forumdisplay.php?f=3)

With difficult challenges like this many entries are over ambitious and don't make it to completion so in many cases it may be likely that judging will have to take place on the WIP.

Deadline: Friday August 22TH at 10:00pm EST
---This gives you three weeks to work on your WIP
Judging Ends Friday August 29th at 8:00 pm EST

EDIT:
OH, Yes... a palace is still a castle in my book!

Kena,
Great idea for the challenge.
Can we do a scene from inside a castle?


P.S.
Any new Forum members interested in entering?
My advice is to jump in now because three weeks fly by and is very difficult to finish if you
start too late.
Remember if you think you stink, this Challenge will make you better, you'll learn the tools faster, we are here to help, and we don't really care
how good or bad you are. We want you to have FUN!

Here's my very first entry for the Monthly Modeling Contest. I hope you like it. It's simple, but I think it's very different, and unusual.


Are there any prizes involved? It's okay if there aren't, because there is no better prize than the honor of sharing my WIP. If this is all just for fun, that's great too.:)

Here is my first attempt at an MMC using TS7.6 instead of 6.5 so I have a lot of learn'n ta do.


Castle Type Thing (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=6204)


I still work 3 jobs, but my new full time job is only 40 hours a week so I will have about 20 hours more free time a week now (it also pays more, so I may end up quitting my part time job, but still keep contract work going).

ok- I will start gathering final renders at about 7pm, and take it realllllly slow for you and won't have the voting up until Midnight. That gives everyone 12 hours and 45 min from this posting. Try to make it no more than 12 hours if you can :D

That's OK RAYMAN... I'm sure that we have seen enough of your WIP to vote logically on it. And if you get it uploaded during the voting, I can replace the WIP pic with your final render.

I personally would not feel like it was unfair if you wanted to postpone until sunday. But that's up to you Kena (whatever you think is fair).
