Ok, Give this one a spin! -Kix

Hmmm, I guess it's been a little while since we did one of these. What you're supposed to do is recreate the image or model in your own way without burning hours and hours on it. It can really help you learn if you're a beginner. I did this in about 20 minutes. Push yourself, have fun, and post your image in this thread! -Kix

OK, Kix, here the first of two, just with an added extra in the second. I'll explain more in the next post. Ken

Once again, here's the second. The difference is the internal glass has an object that is also transparent and has a fluid-like index of refraction. But I hate those lines! Is it just a property of the refractions or what do you think? Ken ![dork.gif](http://www.renderosity.com/~carrara/emoticons/dork.gif)

I'm pretty sure it's refractions of the top and bottom parts of your model showing up in the glass. My water/glass is only one object. Cool renders! -Kixcooldude.gif

Great work! Now when do we get to see the lava lamps animation? There must be some really heavy-duty physics there.

Well here is my first attempt at the ten minute challenge. Okay, it really took longer then ten minutes, but I had to add the Barney Thingy Lava. Do I still get a cookie?

This is mine, wanted some light with it, took only about 30 min initialy, but kept tinkering with it with little improvement over the original. This was a nice break!

Everybody gets cookies! These all look super great! -Kix

Look great. Wish I had time to play too. ;-( Oh well cheers to all. Kix, do you think the lava lamp would be a good learning tutorial? Regards, Paul

I'm sure it would be. I've made some upgrades to mine already. I was going to do a sword tutorial. I'll see which one I can finish up first. -Kix

Very cool stuff! Good to see the short challenges still popping up! I really wish I had C or RDS on my machine here at work -- it's really too much of a hastle to get evrything together and move it to this machine, particularly since the Mac and the VAIO (both of which have C on them) have NO FLOPPY DRIVE.... Ugh. Anyway.... Good work, everyone!

Yeah, sometimes that no floppy thing can be a pain in the arse.... Do what I do and email your files to your home email. It is a pain but it works. Regards, Paul

I am a rank beginner in Carrara. However, I had fun trying to make the Lamp model. I am not at all sure how to approach creating the liquid filler for the glass. I also cannot create a directional light for the interior. Any help wouild be appreciated. Thanks! David

Looks good DL I like your glass texture! You know I don't have C2 yet but I'm curious if metaballs can have physics applied to them? Doubt it..lol but who knows? Brian
