We would like to thank everyone that participated in the Ghouls Gone Wild contest. The contested ended on November 3, and the results should be out soon.


DOOM Art Contest

DOOM contest sponsored by dimeola
Hosted by 3DCommune.com

This is a unique contest in idea and design. It is refreshing to see an individual sponsoring a contest! It transcends site boundaries and we encourage all to enter. Whether you are a DOOM fanatic or not this is a truly wicked way to show some texture and scene work. Come on Brycers I say! hahahaha (Sorry Scott) DOOM scenes can be fairly simple or as complex as your imagination allows.

Poser 7 Delivers Improved Rendering & HDRI Support for IBL

7 Reasons to Get Poser 7
Reason 4: Improved Rendering & HDRI Support for IBL!

Render up to four times faster with Multi-threaded Rendering on machines with multiple CPUs. FireFly takes advantage of the processing power of the multi-core and multi-processor systems available on the market by rendering on up to four threads simultaneously. This optimization results in much shorter render times for most scenes.

Render more complex scenes than ever with new Tiled Texture Loading. Texture memory needs at render time are reduced to less than 10% (compared to previous versions for texture-heavy scenes). Hard disk caching results in greatly reduced memory requirements. FireFly’s tiled texture loading system also takes advantage of a new Texture Filtering approach, which uses a fraction of the memory of its predecessor.

Create even more realistic images with HDRI! Poser now supports High Dynamic Range Images (HDRI) for Image Based Lighting and textures, giving you rendered lighting quality comparable to analog photo film!

The header was rendered in Bryce 6 by TonyLynch and if you remember the mystery character from last week, well he's here again, although all you can see is his shadow. Still can't tell you much about him, but more will be coming soon. The corridor was constructed using VanishingPoint's Modular Science Fiction Environment.

The header in the Gallery Pix is Planet Viper by primanegev. The images in body of the Gallery Pix are master bedroom by heritage_smrd, Faerie-Tales by sonepar, Dreams and Wishes by RNKarenER, The Undead 06 by PusGhetty, and The View by janson.
