"SAMS3D's model is a new earfig" "SAMS3D's model are a fine wigs" "SAMS3D's model is a fire ganew" "SAMS3D's models are an wife gi" ah, I give up for now! ben messianicart.com

Ah but you are so close.....Sharen


MikeJ posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:19 PM

Cool idea, Mike and Sharen! Unfortunately, after working hard all day, I'm nearly comatose at the moment, so I can't think clearly. "SAMS3D's model is a new earfig" sounds good to me. ;)



SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:22 PM

Oooops, come back all, we misspelled the scrammbler, forget that clue and look at this one..... "miiaaldweeeorfnsgtSAMS3D's"


Sprinter posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:23 PM

SAM3D's new model is a girafe Just trying :) Sprinter


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:23 PM

Please look at the above clue instead that is the correct scrammbler... so sorry, Sharen

SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:25 PM

Because we goofed on the first clue, if you guess this scrammbled one ("miiaaldweeeorfnsgtSAMS3D's") we are going to throw in 2 extra free models...Sharen


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:26 PM

What is a fine wager? Sharen


SPIRESMEDIA posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:27 PM

A fine bet.



davidm posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:28 PM

Thanks Mike and Sharen! Sounds cool! Okay, this is tricky!...The best I can come up with is "SAMS3D's new model is a fridge"...Yikes! - two d's! Okay, that's me out. Anyone else? :-) Dave


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:29 PM

You are so close, but you can keep trying....until you guess it. As many times as it takes. Sharen


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:31 PM

You have to look at this clue don't look at the first one... miiaaldweeeorfnsgtSAMS3D's

TalmidBen posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:33 PM

SAMS3D's free model is a giant w - hmmmmmm


TalmidBen posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:35 PM

TheDaedalus posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:36 PM

Yep, that's right. I just got it myself. Aaron


SPIRESMEDIA posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:36 PM

davidm posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:37 PM

Yep, look's like Penguinisto's nailed it! Well done old chap! (as we say here in the UK!) ;-) Dave :-)


Penguinisto posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:38 PM

I tried damned near every other word... I was waiting on a render to get done, and I thought 'what the hey' - plus, none of the other variations made sense - including ten bazillion variations on the word "faerie" (blame Thorne for that one - just bought Ziza from DAZ this morning) :) /P


MikeJ posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:38 PM

a giant W, LOL!



TheDaedalus posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:40 PM

Lol! Nice! Great job! Aaron


NightVoice posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:41 PM

Hmm I just got frigate as well, but too slow. :)

NightVoice posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:46 PM

Nice model! Congrats Pen. :)


TalmidBen posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:47 PM

WOW! How much are you selling that for? That rocks!


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:48 PM

For $14.95 - I am glad you like it, the rigging was a bear to do. Sharen Textures are included with it too.


Sprinter posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:48 PM

Looks awesome great job :)


TalmidBen posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:48 PM

14.95!?!?! That's practically free for that cool of a model!


TalmidBen posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:49 PM

what modelling program are you using? I just got Lightwave 6.5 yesterday, but need to figure out how to use it.

SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:51 PM

Zipped file is 2mb, not too bad. Sharen


davidm posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 4:51 PM

If anyone's interested, the unofficial runner-up prize can be found by partaking in a crazy, cross country rally, culminating in 4 palm trees forming a "giant W" ;-) Thank you. Dave :-) PS AWESOME MODEL GUYS!!! SHIVER ME TIMBERS!!! :-)

LOL, you are all crazy, we just posted another contest due to our mistake, check it out...Sharen

Penguinisto posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 5:06 PM

ROTFL...! Seriously, though: If David had all the letters to work with the first go round, he would have prolly got it long before I found the thread... it was his first post that gave me the inspiration. Tell you what David; if you have Dark Whisper's Candi Hair or the Mil Girls set from DAZ, let me know - I'm working on a couple of items for each to put up in the marketplace soon: A Dredlocks props/transmap/texture set for the hair, and a pair of faerie characters for the Milgirls (including characters, tex, wings, and other props.) If you're interested in either, let me know and I'll mail 'em to you upon completion. /P


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 5:10 PM

You know what you are right, so David, give me your email and I will send you the Frigate....Sharen


TalmidBen posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 5:12 PM

I agree with both of you, David was really close!


davidm posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 5:13 PM

WOW GUYS! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! :-) Dave :-)


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 5:14 PM

Okay IM me to give me your email address...Sharen


SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 5:15 PM

Thanks Dave your sweet, I just can't believe how good all you are at unscrammbling things.....you do know I am running another contest right.....get your thinking caps on...Sharen

Jeez, Sharen, that's an AWESOME model! You guys are getting entirely too good at this!



SAMS3D posted Sat, 06 April 2002 at 5:25 PM

Thanks Mike, although we did have a few words while we were working on it....we need a vacation....LOL..Sharen


duanemoody posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 3:25 AM

What, no earfig? I feel cheated. Now I'll have to go to the murkier depths of Dendras.com to get an earfig model, and I'm not sure his has the big red straps or the Canadian adjustment morph. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's because the first rule of Earfig Club is you do not talk about Earfig Club.)


gebe posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 10:31 AM

Beautiful Model and funny contest Sharen, but only made for english native people:-(


SAMS3D posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 1:09 PM

Sorry Guitta, you are correct though, so next one we will try to broaded it for all to understand. Sharen


gebe posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 1:22 PM

No matter Sharen, I had to look in the dictionary to see what a frigate is:-). My english is not really good and I'm often writing with a dictionary close to me. Thanks, Guitta


SAMS3D posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 1:31 PM

You are not the only one, our dictionary stays close to us now,as it was we screwed up the first part of this contest. Sharen :-)
