Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Oct 17 8:34 am)
So these 'holidays' are they strictly Christian? I mean, is it only Christmas or any winter holiday will do?
I know Christianity is missionary in nature but to assume even in a Sci Fi image anywhere in time and space only Christian mythology is relevant is a bit over the top?

Gary, some of the mechanics of this challenge arnt clear to me -
and a personal question/request - Is the official title of the contest still 'Sci fi Christmas'? can it be changed to 'Sci Fi Holidays'? I would like to take part, but wont if its explicitly christian.

Attached Link: Holiday Blues
So here's my entry. Its called 'Holiday Blues'. Perhaps not the joyful picture intended by the organizers, but it is a sign of the times. Ollie the alien, his wine glass, the chair, all the bits and pieces in the air, semi-transparent and opaque, were designed by me, modeled in Hexagon and textured in Vue (mostly procedurals). The ground is a plane with a vue material. I uploaded a bigger file to my gallery if you're interested, see the link."I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams,

I thought of a letter from Santa in the year 2030. The Sci-fi element here is in the content of the letter.
Dear Suzy
I hope you enjoy your presents.
I went through a lot of trouble to find you this orange all the way from Spain ! You know how rare they are at this time of the year.
The lumps of rocks are made of real coal ! They were found in an old mine in the north of France. Hold on to them - they are rapidly becoming collector items.
Merry Christmas !!
Santa Claus
It has been way too long since my last image....
Happy Holidays everybody.
So, is anyhing happening with this challenge? Will there be voting? Will it be decided by the moderators/coordinators? just wondering.

Here are the results for the December challenge. Forgoing the traditional drum roll, the winners are: Everyone. There was no way I could decide a winner in this one. There were elements in each image that was really cool for a sci fi xmas challenge. So being the King of my own little realm of cyberspace, I declare a winner. "It's good to be the king."
For those of you who submitted an image for the contest, just send me an email address that will allow you to receive a 10mb file. If you don't have an email capacity that supports a file that large, i will make other arraingements.
If anyone doesn't want the rustic fence pak (which you can find at C3d in the whats popular section) then I will be happy to send you an 8x10 glossy picture of me pulling weeds in my garden without a shirt on. I only have a few left and they are selling like hot cakes. Back hair and sweat.......what could be a bigger turn on :^)
Thanks for everyone participating in this challenge.
That's really nice, thank you Gary!

Here marks my first official task as Coordinator: creating a holiday challenge.
With Christmas just a few weeks away it's time to create our holiday challenge image. Here are the guidelines:
Theme: Sci-fi Christmas
You can use any traditional christmas ideas but they must be incorporated into a sci-fi theme. For example, if you want to create a nativity scene then have the baby Jesus as a baby bot or maybe the 3 wise men as bots. Maybe a R2D2 droid for the infant Jesus.
Use your imagination and let your creativity fly.
The winner of this challenge will receive a free copy of a new upcoming rustic fence modeling kit I am working on for VUE 5,6,&7. It should be finished in a few weeks in time for the end of the challenge.
So dust off your copies of Poser, hit the freebie sites and get your models all set to create some zany Christmas renders.
* Postwork is always beneficial and encouraged.
*Share your picture in this forum thread. Render them as big as you want but please keep them no larger than 1024x768 when you upload them here as your submission.
THE CUT OFF DATE WILL BE DECEMBER 24 AT MIDNIGHT!
