Got a piano key necklace done.

The mesh necklace is just a shader that I purchased and idea for meshes. The keys are modeled and then used a bend modifier on both.

Here's an unrendered version in Carrara's Assembly room.

Speed modeling! Just because we combined the challenges doesn't mean we gave up speed modeling. Good topic S_Tiny.

Drugs_R_Bad

Just the capsule was modeled in Hexagon. It was then applied to a segmented line with copy on support for the necklace and a cylinder was use as the host for the bracelet. Segmented lines were thickened in Hexagon.

Naw, I used an extruded line (circle) for the surface with some thickness. Then in Carrara, I added a shader which has transparency, but shows the pattern of the necklace mesh.

Steinie, may I use the DAZ figure (see wip) to model jewelry? Not sure if that fits in the rules. Even if it is ok voters might think I made the character from scratch.

Thanks. Will make it's source clear. Might or might not use it since fitting the jewelry to it is difficult. Also might cut up the DAZ model (sounds psychotic!) and modify to make a neck-and-shoulders display like at store jewelry counters. Focus on the jewelry first then presentation.

Must wait for official vote count. (Or for Steinie's official acknowledgment. Part of the awesome power of the previous winner.)

I thought some other entries were better for technical aspects or creativity.

An idea is brewing for a challenge topic. Or there is the Idea Pool vi ... f=22&t=433.

Too tired to make the challenge threads tonight. Will do soon. Rules will be the usual: make your own models etc. plus you can use model generating programs (Daz, Bryce, Plant Studio, Ivy Generator).

Topic: Poor Land. Make images of places poor people live, play, work, or do things. Examples: Laundromat. Trailer park. Local flavor would be good. You could show how poor folks live in your country or area.
