Evening people!

I thought about putting together a small rendering challenge for everyone interested, ofcourse it's supposed to be rendered with Maxwell in any host program you wanna use. The idea is as follows.

I'll be modeling a rather complex detailed model or i pick one i already made and i'll share it in as many formats as i possibly can convert it to and then the challenge is for all those who wanna take part in this to take the object and render it as nicely as you possibly can do using the current beta 1.2.2a of Maxwell. The prize will be the honor and the fame of winning and you get you use your winning image for your own promotional work as a part of your portfolio

Now if this sounds interesting then let me know and i'll put something together, if not then nothing's lost other than a bunch of text on here.

Maxwell Render Rendering Challenge 2005.11.01

Now it's finally time for some challenging rendering for all you who wanna take part in this

I have a set of two objects i modeled earlier but never really used, so i figured giving everyone a chance to see what you could do with this in a specified time using your own creativity and Maxwell in it's current beta is gonna be the challenge. Then it all comes down to seeing who's got what it takes to make the best of them.

Rules:
1. These models are still copyrighted to me and if you use them for any commercial or private work then please do credit me for modeling them.
2. The artwork you create using these models is ofcourse yours and you're free to use that for your own good.
3. Reselling of these models is forbidden without my permission.
4. You must use Maxwell Render beta 1.2.2a with whichever plugin and host 3d program you want, no other renderer is allowed.
5. You're free to texture them as you wish but make no "physical" modifications to the models as everyone needs to compete on the same ground.
6. Postwork aswell as noisereduction is allowed, moderate yourself..

7. Polyreduction is ofcourse allowed as atleast one of these models is quite poly intensive and complex.
8. And everybody on the forum will be able to vote on the posted renderings, there's no one single judge. When all images are posted we'll vote on the one we all like the best, fair and square.
9. Most important of all, have fun and see this as a learning experience on how to use Maxwell in a small challenging project.

Challenge Facts:
- Mission is here for you as a artist to use these objects as best as you can to create a interesting, funny, pretty, nice or just a cool kickass rendering using Maxwell Render 1.2.2a beta.
- Ofcourse you can add more objects and creates scenes and use only the chair or only the table for your scene, you don't have to use both objects and only one these objects in your scene. Please use your creativity as much as you can. That's very important now and it might just be what makes you a winner in this challenge.
- Deadline for this is set for 2 weeks from today which will be Sunday 13th November 2005. On Sunday is the last day you can post your renderings here.
- Use your imagination and creativtity, go wild and crazy. Do what you feel and wanna do.

Models update news 05.11.02
Some of the chair model formats [labeled as fixed] are updated with new repaired versions by olbo (thanks man!)

they're better now as various issues are solved with them
and if you have any problems with the chair model then download the newly updated one.

One last note.. since i host all these models myself now on my own website then due to various reasons it can go down but don't worry it'll always come back sooner or later again

any other questions regarding model problems please post those in this thread and i'll reply and solve any problems with them if i can.

Good luck everybody!

hope to see your stunning results within 2 weeks time.

/ Max

:: ahhh what's the point, Micha will get it for sure... after a dead heath between the five top 'dogs' in this forum...

Change the rules a bit and only allow work from untalented users like myself and then you get yourself a challange

I'm in and i'll throw $50 USD at the winner ........., just to make it a little interesting --------- if you don't like it Max, that's fine. It's not much, but i think it would be funny that for such a serious engine the prize is kind of ironically small. ....ironic, you know?
