This is the Challenge of the Century: The Battle of the Meshes!

Dphoadley, following his successful remap of the P4NudeWoman, wishes to challenge all V3 users to a Morphing, Texturing, Posing, and Rendering Contest that will pitch PosetteV3 against DAZ�s Victoria 3.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it!) is to morph, pose and render the figure of your choice to recreate the human model below as closely as possible.

Rules:

1. The challenge is to morph your chosen model (PosetteV3 or Daz V3) to as close a facial semblance as possible of the photo above. All participants may use this and only this as the photo reference for morphing their respective figures face.
2. All participants must use the SAME "Alannah" texture (download link below.)
3. All participants must use the SAME light set (download link below.)
4. All participants must use the SAME hair prop - Kozaburos's Kyoko Hair (download link below.)
5. Renders must be against the default Poser Grey background.
6. You may use the standard Daz V3 morphs, magnets, external modelling app, or any combination to achieve a resemblance to the photo. External displacement maps are not allowed, but there is a bump map provided in the texture zip which can be used in the displacement slot.
7. Posing should be your own work and not using a "canned" pose created by someone else.
8. Final render should be in Poser and not any other application. You may use the Firefly or P4 render engine, and you may use the material room to add nodes to the texture if desired.
9. Postwork is allowed for removing render artifacts and colour correction, but should NOT be used to add parts of the original photo to the mix.
10. Please save your .pz3 file and any layer files from your graphics program in the event of any dispute.

Winners will be judged by the Content Managers and be awarded the following prizes:
Overall winner - $15 Renderosity Gift Certificate & Mrsparky's All 3 (plus bonus) of his photo packs that are sold here.
Best Posed - $10 Renderosity Gift Certificate
Best Morphed - $10 Renderosity Gift Certificate
Best Rendered - $10 Renderosity Gift Certificate

Renders should be a maximum size of 1024x1024 (any dimension.)

Winners will be contacted by email to receive their gift certificates.
