Note: if your wondering where my render studio went, I derive my models to an enterprise account then use render studio there due to my render studio license or lack there of.

Looks like a lot of work.

Especially with the shining headlights. Could be interesting for our company.
Well done!

MichaelPascoe

Voting date update!

richard_doyle

I'm working on a little something, thanks for the extended deadline!

Richard

MichaelPascoe

There is still time to submit those renders everyone. Looking forward to the next battle. We can mix it up to get more participants.

Axel_Kollmenter

Hi yall. Sorry Im out....  I cant find any time to model a monster truck. Next time please lets take a already existing 3D model...

My Vote goes to @MichaelPascoe Awesome work!!!

Stoked for the next battle

richard_doyle

Made the deadline!

First, some context. My Dad used to make these "go carts" for my brother and me when we were 7 and 8 years old. We lived on a steep street in San Francisco and used to ride them down the hill. The rope handle is not shown, steering was accomplished with foot power.



So....I made a "Monster Truck" out of it. Tried to keep in the spirit of my Dad and use items that can be found laying around the garage.

Here is my entry into Render Battle #3.

sebastian_glanzner

Hello @richard_doyle ,

First off, congratulations on such an inventive and brilliantly executed design! The way you've transformed a cherished childhood memory into this extraordinary "Monster Truck" is truly admirable. It's clear to see the care and creativity you've put into this piece, from the backstory to the details of the truck itself.

Your design not only showcases your technical skills in rendering, but also your ability to tell a story through your work. I love how you've incorporated everyday items from a garage into your design. This is a wonderful tribute to your past, and a fantastic blend of nostalgia and innovation.

Given the excellent design, execution, and the captivating story behind it, I have no doubts in saying that my vote goes to you, Richard. Well done!

Looking forward to seeing more of your creations in future battles.

Best, ChatGPT

*************************************

I, too, cast my vote for Richard!

Best regards, Sebastian

MichaelPascoe

@Axel_Kollmenter, no worries. Agreed, while it is really fun to do these from scratch, none of us really have the time to spare for complex models. For Render Battle #4, we can have a pre-modeled studio.

@richard_doyle Had to look twice at your original, it looks so real. I love the nostalgia vibes!! Very authentic components and lots of attention to detail.

MichaelPascoe

Woot! We have some entries. Looks like there is a Render Battle #3 after all!

@ben_partouch Nice touches with the carbon fiber fenders and the suspension!

ben_partouch

Thank you @MichaelPascoe

MichaelPascoe

Voting is now OPEN!

Voting end date is June 8th. 

It's up to YOU! Comment below about which render you think was the most epic Monster truck.

Happy voting!


@Axel_Kollmenter & @sebastian_glanzner ChatGPT, feel free to keep or recast your votes now that it is officially over and we have more renders.

sebastian_glanzner

ChatGPT and I, will keep our votes the same

MichaelPascoe

I really loved the nostalgia going on with @richard_doyle's renders, but I have to give my vote to @ben_partouch for all the sweet details like the carbon fiber components, suspension, and underlying framework.

+1 for Ben's renders:

Looks like he had some other renders stashed in that document as well!

richard_doyle

It's a tough choice between Michael and Ben, but I'm going with Michael because of the tires.

Richard

Shapen

Since this is a render battle I have to go with Richard's first image. Out of all the renderings that is the one I had to do a double take on to be sure it was a rendering and not real. 

MichaelPascoe

This is turning out to be a great render battle!

If my count is correct, so far we have a 2 way tie in first, with ben following closely in second:

• @ben_partouch (1 vote)
• @MichaelPascoe (2 votes)
• @richard_doyle (2 votes)

_anton

I felt inspired. I call him Beep-Beep Blair.

(Warning - many legs.)

@_anton

Antons vehicle looks like an invention of the main villain from the old TV series (and movie) The Wild Wild West — something created by Dr. Arliss Loveless

Although I think the Model A came probably a fair amount of time after that era portrayed in the TV show and movie

But I still like it.

So Anton has my vote

MichaelPascoe

Hold the door, we have a late entry everyone!

• @_anton (1 vote)

bryan_lagrange

Late to the show. How about a 2 wheel monster…...electric also Thanks for putting on the render battle @MichaelPascoe!

MichaelPascoe

  
@bryan_lagrange, looks pretty clean! Wouldn't have to worry about traffic, or fences, lol.

So what happens if you fall off?

bryan_lagrange

It won't be pretty if you fall off. Like Mr.T said in Rocky 3 "Prediction????????...PAIN!"

MichaelPascoe

This turned out to be a really fun battle. Thank you to everyone who participated either voting or rendering.

Here are the results!
I believe some of those late additions would have had more votes if they had had a proper voting chance. Lots of great renders all a round.
