If the winner doesn’t supply a theme before Thursday 22:30 GMT, the organizer will select the theme. In this case, the winner’s theme will be used the next time we are lacking a theme on Thursday 22:30 GMT.
Having selected the theme, the winner will not be eligible to enter that week. They may however still submit an image, but it won’t be included in the voting.
Congrats @Boder , well done! I found the image to be pretty funny.
Kind of exciting voting this time around, @mali_zweipunktnull got some votes late, (I don’t understand why your didn’t score higher), and even at one point when I checked the results me & @fcharr were tied for first place.
Aw shucks. Thanks guys (@fcharr, @mali_zweipunktnull). (@revolt_randy)
Things seem to have a life of their own. Well I have been saying things are kinda weird rn, so maybe I shouldn’t be so shocked my weird one won.
Hope you all got a chuckle.
Oh, that’s fine; the image isn’t really what I had in mind. Almost all the details in the environment and background are missing because I ran out of time. I built the chair on Friday and then spent ages tweaking the materials and the lighting to get them exactly how I wanted. The metal and leather have bumps, dents, scratches, and dirt - but NONE of that is visible in the final render! And the lighting was meant to look “old” - the kind of technical lighting you’d see in the 70s.
Then I traveled to visit a friend, planning to be back home by midday Monday. But, well, Deutsche Bahn being Deutsche Bahn, the trip took 11 hours instead of 4.5 I didn’t get home until around 8 p.m. Monday - after showering and eating, I somehow managed to cobble together the rest of the scene and the lighting around the chair in just an hour or two. It was supposed to look quite different.
Here’s a test render of the materials and lighting. In the final image, though, it actually looks as if the chair has no material at all, and the leather just appears as a black mass.
@Helge would be cool if you would re-order the entry images and put the percentage beside them. Winner at the top. Bit easier than scrolling up and down between the images and the results.
