23 entries this week. Is this a record?

Rock’n’Roll! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

There have been even more entries in the past. However, in 2017 (so far) we never had so many entries.

Photox’ theme just set the 2017 record for:

  • Total entries (23)
  • Competing entries (16)
  • Non-competing entries (7)

This will be hard to break. :slight_smile:

Here is a song that’s been on my playlist for a while now. :slight_smile:

@3dbi, what’s going on mate? Do you need a talk?

Anyway, what I did come here for…

@RT, any more info on your title please?

URBA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URBA_mass_transport_system <-- I can’t find any pictures of this :frowning:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Urba-diction

VERSO
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/verso

Anyway, someone should write a book for that cover! Great work!!!

EDIT:
My question to 3dbi now looks a little odd since his post was removed…!

@Helge, great image and learned something new, thankyou

Hmmmm, now torn between ZachAllenVisual and Al_Torres… both my type of images

@danchristie25, I love it, however, its probably the DOF, but to me it appears to be miniature, is it to scale?

@Evivivi, that’s sort of how contrasted I see the world, stunning!

Happy Independence Day everyone!

No I’m good rarebit! Well except for the WC image archive problems of course! But fingers crossed they can be fixed. However feel free to PM me if you need to talk. :slight_smile:

I didn’t really have enough time to work on my image this week, so here is another song for you and others that maybe still a little confused! :slight_smile:

Well I’m already working on a book for my image :wink: but there maybe a very small copyright problem with it. :wink:

Happy Blending!
Damien

Thanks, and good to know that I am not the only one who didn’t know about this…

Well, that was … fascinating… I guess we have to thank Shigeru Miyamoto for it.

I don’t know what happened. The account ‘robwesseling’ seems to have been closed. I guess that is why the images associated with it disappeared as well.

Wow, incredible turnout. Some really great entries too.

Oh Mr Juncker you know I’m your greatest fan!


(I did read that almost the full 700 ministers put in claims of attendance today too!)

But be careful, they’ll start treating you like Mr Farage now!!!

@3dbi, when I tried PM a month or so ago you were blocking… but I was really just giving you a platform to get things out in the open… lets face it we have very different types of agendas :wink:

@BlenderArtists.org
Being a tor visitor here, I get the Robot Challenge Screen on most visits, but I should say that I’ve had the same 4 digit code challenge for the last 3 days now!

Yep, everything is to scale! You can see the size compared to the default grid size…



Funnily enough, my final render was a screenshot of the rendered viewport view because whenever i did the actual render, it would merge all the blues and reds into just one massive purple :confused:

Well thank you Helge! That is usually what I’m trying to shoot for but sadly I have been a LITTLE off my game recently. :frowning:

Well that is what I was thinking too Helge! I mean if robwesseling didn’t request his images be deleted then he might not have even known that they would get removed when he closed his account!!!

I think this is a very important issue and it really can’t just be ignored! Hopefully robwesseling may read this post and can help you or Fweeb’s get this corrected. If there is something more I can do to help facilitate this then please just PM and let me know.

I think we all put a lot of thought and effort into creating our images and it’s extremely important (at least it is to me) that they remain here. So please understand me when I say that my decision to remove my images also has not been taken lightly.

@All
For some reason I think we might have been breaking all kinds of records recently (maybe I’m wrong??? but I’m hoping not). Anyway a little record breakers challenge theme music I think is what the doctor ordered. Goes a lot better with the vibe of the images here I think too :slight_smile:

@rarebit
Oh man! what do you want another rambling essay? I could do one it might even get people to stop sticking knifes into me and love me again :wink: (you thought one control pin was bad rarebit!) However the truth is I got what I deserved, just not for the reasons most people probably think I deserved them. They really didn’t effect me the way they/you thought they would, but they still hurt none the less (actually even more so).

From a purely scientific aspect it was extremely interesting to watch how the movie played out. I have two very different sides to me rarebit i.e. artist and programmer aka completely bonkers and logical and calculating. I seem to flip from one to the other especially since starting to participate in the WC :wink:

I have been accused of not understanding what people’s actions here have been trying to convey, I can assure my accuser and people here that I do and it’s simply my accuser is not understanding what I was referring to or more accurately what people where perceiving it to be. i.e. I knew the evil cheshire dog title was coming. I’m not the kind of person to try and prove something like that is untrue, in fact it just makes me want to do it less. If you don’t understand what the hell I’m talking about then all I can say to you is WELCOME TO MY BA WORLD FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS!

this is becoming a rambling essay! I can feel it! I think I’m going to go start that book instead now!

@WC Winner
Maybe something simple and easy to sculpt might be what’s called for next! just in case you are taking requestss

Oh please robwesseling! put your images back!

EDIT:

interesting weekend. I feel I don’t stand a chance, my entry is pretty much a subset of fdo’s, and most of the votes went to the entries that focused on close up scenes. I think this shows how much this group has improved over the years. may our ambitions continue to have no bounds :slight_smile:

I think it has changed from challenge to competition! :smiley:

… since I’ve not done this publically

My sincere apologies to Photox, my response was off the cuff and unfounded… Sorry, much respect for you!

I just realized: 23 is the number of chromosomes in the human genome.

I think yousa been watchin too much cheap sci-fi my friend

https://www.23andme.com/ :wink:

It was the connection between the number of entries and 23 chromes :wink:
