Looks like I will have to use Modeler and workSpace sides to accomplish this WIP.
Spotlight used for main lighting with mapped shadows. |

I would say bigfoot, but that would not be an 8th wonder... so it must be King Kong. |

hence the banana reference at the start - I wondered if we might be heading this way! Looks great! Does this mean we're getting the Empire State too? And some bi-planes? And perhaps Lotta hanging on at the top?! :D |

Thanks Guys!
Nez, bringing in "Lotta Teeth" would be funny but I think I would be breaking rule #2 about pre-made models.
"2.) Use your own work. No pre-made purchased or free models, please."
Hey where are the other Artist?
No excuses, I've seen your rooms in the "Show us your Room" thread..you all LIVE at your computers...:rolleyes: So get moving!!!:D |

Hm, well, I would consider Bigfoot a 'Wonder of the world'. Why not? They don't all have to be huge structures. Heck, my first idea after I came up with the title was... a woman :-D |

This one took a slight change of course. I had intended to do the "obvious" King Kong Eighth Wonder of the World but after fighting with TS hair for two solid days I changed course. VRay would render up to 99% and never complete. It showed CPU activity but the CPU would drop to 50% and keep trying to figure out some variable that didn't exist...
I placed a sphere inside my objects head and applied TS hair where I wanted it to show. |

I may be disqualified for this next part but I put Lotta Teeth into the render. Too many people requested her and I just have to agree.
Here you go Drageneye...Big Foot!
I hope you all like the render. |

good render - like the humor!!
and since a baker's dozen is 13, maybe a bigfoot is 14 |

Thanks everyone for the compliments! Your feedback is just payment.
Butterpaw, I don't know the name of her Dentist but she does use lots of Whitening Strips!
Jack Edwards, look for the T-Shirt line to come out in May.
Wizard and Kena, reminds me of an old joke.
(insert Man's Name in place of "Foot")
What does a Man with a 13" "Foot" have for breakfast?
I start my day with scrambled eggs, bacon, hashbrowns...:D
You've got to Wonder!:) |

The Big Foot Challenge:
This is going to boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's pre-programmed in
your brain!
1. While sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer,
lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right
Hand. Your foot will change direction. |

:D I had hoped that as a drummer - relatively used to doing different things with my hands and feet - that I might manage that, but no such luck :o
I like the finished render a lot - I'm glad you went with Lotta in the end, albeit not exactly what I'd originally expected.... |

Hmm I can do it. Sometimes my foot reverses, sometimes my circle with my foot gets a little like it has too few edges defining it and gets somewhat jumpy with sharp corners and straight lines but doesn't reverse, and sometimes I can do it just fine.
Maybe my brain is wired differently? Wait - deja vu!

Well I hope the original group of us MMC Challengers stick together when this forum becomes crowded. I don't want to see you all get lost in the crowd. Lets keep the spirit going! |

Interesting, at the moment of drawing the foot didn't go in the opposiite direction but it stuttered before carrying on. |
