Damn it's just too hard to decide on just one.....but since I have too I'll pick Rayraz
jmahoney posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 5:04 PM
Their all very good! But I'll have to go with the one from Humorix.

Humorix - these are great!
derjimi posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 5:16 PM
Bwah, taht's hard to choose - it's so many good stuff here! But finally, I choose ------- Rayraz ------- Why? His picture made me laugh sooo hard that I nearly fell from my chair. This is digital comedy. :) Take care, Jimi p.s.: thank you AgentSmith for gathering the pictures and starting the vote!

It's soooo hard to pick just one. But there's something so dry and subtle about the wit of sdnoble's entry. It's like something you'd find on a New Yorker magazine cover. So that's my vote: sdnoble
Nukeboy posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 8:02 PM
Gotta go with Agent Smith with Humorix and Alleycat169 on his heels. Good job all!!
allengraph posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 8:20 PM
I'll go with Agent Smith =-)

Agent Smith gets my vote. All are great entries and this was a good challenge. I'm so impressed with all of you.
There are a lot of things worse than dying, being afraid all the time would be one.

This was one of the hardest contests for me to vote for. I enjoyed every single entry and hope it challenged the artists. I would like to thank you all for participating and hope no one is offended by my vote or how I decided as this was very difficult. Alleycat169

I must day, that all of these entries are great! Too hard too shoose just one, but since I have to, I will pick AgentSmith, since right now, I am really into a mechanoid type of period

This is a toughie! Well if its one vote, I pick Humorix though Loved fozzibear, alleycat and agentsmith's work too!

humorix posted Sun, 07 April 2002 at 11:50 PM
Ummmmm, you mean after all the hours I spent on creating the model, I have to vote for somebody else?? :-P LOL. Well I vote for ALLEYCAT (Loveley use of metaballs and that is what this contest was about! great composition and lighting (I wont even dare to ask how loooong it took to render) and a very clean image! The image of Rayrez put a smile on my face! I'm glad I didn't have to do the dishes ;-) and Agentsmith's modeling was good, but what impresses me the most was the effort he took to get this challenge put back on track! Agentsmith I'm proud to be your community member! :-)

Almost impossible choice; the ones with the most technical excellence aren't necessarily the best overall pictures. As an all-round winner I vote for Alleycat169.
vasquez posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 2:14 AM
Humorix rulez!!!!! All images are beautiful but I love robots and tales, so what can I vote...
raj posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 3:34 AM
Hi Smith, Thanks !!! for such a brilliant contest ! All the artist are exellent .I vote for HUMORIX. Beside a good piece of art this image also conveys the message that nowdays Artists really need a PIPE to get paid for the work of art they do entirely with there mind,body and soul...But I still curse him for taking away my New MOUSE....lol.... good work
cambert posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 4:36 AM
They're all great but I think I'm going to go for Humorix with Alleycat as a close second. Well done everyone.

Difficult. Let's say Rayraz, although Humorix, AgentSmith and AlleyCat come very, very, very close.

Sooo many good ones and I can only choose one of them. Darn ... My vote this month has to go to Humorix. -AA
johnpenn posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 9:40 AM
Though there are some killer images in this thread, truly exceptional work both conceptually and technically. I personally felt the strongest emotion from seeing poor Grover cornered and horrified. Granted, that emotion was humor, but it's still an emotional reaction. Rayraz gets my vote.
itsrainin posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 10:05 AM
alleycat :)
Alleycat169 posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 10:06 AM
I gotta keep with the Metaball theme and go with Stephen Ray's worm. AgentSmith is my close second with Humorix following, only because they were more boolean than metaball.
Rochr posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 10:07 AM
Great work from everyone, but...humorix

I have a hard time believing that the image by humorix is a metaball character. Looks like PhotoShop greyscale into terrain edior to me? I'm being polite, so if I am wrong I apologise. If humorix can do that in metaball format what do his serious models look like?
Stephen Ray posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 4:05 PM
well Vile you sure picked a great subject for this challenge... anyway my vote is for Alleycat169 ( flubber )

humorix posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 10:26 PM
Hi! Time for clarification here! About the contest! This I think should have gone in right at the top! The contest was for METABALLS for all who had BRYCE 5 and all with Bryce 4 and below, they had to submit boolean creations! This information can be found in the original March challenge post! So yes mine (as well as agentsmith's) are boolean creations, as we don't have Bryce 5 yet! :-( A point of clarification for Thunderdon, yes the thigh and upper arm (are symmetrical lattice) have been created in the terrain editor, but it was drawn in the editor itself, not in Photoshop. The rest i.e. pipe, face, legs, foot et al are through boolean operations. The explanation was there along with the image I submitted but as the moderators of the forum was busy, agentsmith took the trouble to locate and place all the images together for voting! But I guess he missed out on putting the comments too as it used to be done before. Thanx fo9r the votes and comments!
danamo posted Mon, 08 April 2002 at 11:48 PM
There are some very good renderings this month, but my vote goes to humorix.
thunderdon posted Tue, 09 April 2002 at 12:31 AM
Ok humorix, Please accept my sincere PUBLIC apology. I was obviously wrong. I thought I was wrong once before but I was mistaken. Any way good work and again my apologies! thunderdon
humorix posted Tue, 09 April 2002 at 2:39 AM
:-O Hey no apology required thunderdon!!!! You, as well as I guess a lot of people, were unaware about the conditions of the challenge and you put up a query! Am sorry if I gave the impression that I (or any of us who worked with booleans) was offended, so my apologies in that case! Happy Brycing all!

There's some good competition out here. Everyone has done great work. It's so hard to decide, but my vote goes to AgentSmith not only is it a great model, the textures are great too.

Terrific images all! Wish I had the talent you guys have! I vote for Humorix. Love the details and the composition. Rayraz is a very close choice followed by agent smith. I think Fozzibear has done a tremendous job too, though would liked to have seen it with textures! Keep it up folks! This was a most interesting challenge!
ariannah posted Wed, 10 April 2002 at 4:04 PM
Really tough competition this time around. All of the offerings were awesome! But I finally decided to go with Humorix. Good luck to one and all! ;-)
I dare you, while there is still time, to have a magnificent obsession. --William Danforth
