Yourself as a 3D Caricature!
(from May 28th 2005 to June 28th, 2005)

Charles Philipon, The Metamorphosis of King Louis-Philippe into a Pear (1831)

Show us your true self!

The challenge this time is courtsey of miketche and we are to do a 3D caricature of ourselves. The fine art of caricature was born during the Renaissance and in essence it's based on a strong emphasis of the individual. We want you to show us how you (or others) perceive yourself. Feel free to exaggerate and twist, the caricature has no problem being larger than life! Use whatever technique you see fit to give yourself life on the 3D canvas - boxmodeling, poly by poly, spline lofting, etc. And remember that a caricature doesn't have to be mean :)

The challenge involves modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering a scene of yourself as a caricature. It can be a headshot or a full figure. All Cinema plugins are OK to use, as are commercial textures, but no models that you haven't done yourself.

It's not necessary but it would be cool if you could post a picture of yourself as well as the final entry so we have something to compare with.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

Upload your entry (image and information) in the Cinema 4D forum (use the following message title: "My entry to the challenge"). After approval they will be included in this gallery. The members of the Cinema 4D forum will then vote for the winning entry.

Only one entry per member.

Time: from 28th May 2005 to 28th June 2005 (deadline is 16.00 CST (GMT -6))

Image size: 800 x 600 (portrait or landscape is your choice)

First prize: you get to decide the next challenge plus you get to put this snazzy award badge on your homepage:

Remember, we are a community, so don't hesitate to ask for help in the Cinema 4D forum!

Have fun and good luck!
