Quote - Paolo,

I love your idea for a render challenge, and have downloaded the scene in anticipation of participating, but I have no idea where to begin lol. I think my muse (as feable as she is) has abandoned me entirely.

I'll keep contemplating and if I come up with any inspiration I will give the challenge a shot.

Just to be clear you said we should not add anything to the scene, ok. What about rearranging the objects? Leaving certain things out? Are you just looking for material changes and PoV changes?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael.

Glad that you like the idea. I often saw that constraints are a great way to inspire creativity, that's why I asked to not add anything to the scene. What that leaves you with are camera angles and lighting, which are the crucial components of every scene and the ones that often get neglected. That's why I suggested such restrictions. Re-arranging or hiding is OK, IMHO, although you will find that a bit hard to do since the scene come as as a single object. Of course you are free to load the OBJ in your 3D editor of choice (modo, Blender, etc) and split it up into different OBJs. The file itself is divided in groups but I found that Studio doesn't respect the division and loads the files as a single mesh. 

Cheers.

Paolo
