      It's the first render this thread of the year (I'm slack) 😳

      Anyway, Rich O'Brien has been kind enough to offer his Avatar helicopter as a model for use in the next render challenge.

      You are free to texture it as you please, create a scene, blow it up, crash it, your choice.

      The idea this time is creating a sci fi feel, render, paint, whatever you feel will best work for you.

      Most importantly, have fun. (no time limits)

        Cool. πŸ˜„ I'm looking forward to seeing what some of these guys can do with this. πŸ˜‰

        P.S. Pete, did I miss something or did you never put up the Christmas "render this" challenge? πŸ˜•

          The challenge ended after Chritmas or there about, I had the tree and all ready but figured that it's pointless as who wants to do christmas renders after the fact. I will be more organised this year however.

            Maybe, you should open it up in the middle of the summer. Just to give us a little holiday cheer. πŸ˜‰

                    Nice one Kris. πŸ˜„ The moon is a nice touch.

                    O.K. I took a shot at it. Don't laugh too, too hard. 😳 Besides the fact that I cannot render, I have no post-pro experience either so this was an, er, learning experience for me. πŸ˜† Alright fine, laugh away! πŸ˜’

                            I use paintshop, not sure it has those options, or not sure I know where to even look for them.

                                            ely862me, excellent scenes, the vector version is my favorite. (its a vector conversion isn't it?) Could make a great poster.
