Well now that you've made this an open division event I'll have to participate. I've got just the rendering platform in mind.

I'm halfway through exporting my pumpkin. Need to make sure I don't mislabel any pieces or I'll have to place a second order later.

bryan_lagrange · October 3

Happy Halloween!

Derek_Van_Allen_BD · October 3

Order was placed, rendering in progress.

MichaelPascoe · October 5

Nice! @bryan_lagrange This may be the most fun battle yet.

@Derek_Van_Allen_BD what does that mean!? 😆

Derek thinks outside the box. You’ll have to wait for the cutting of the box reveal

In case anyone is using Render Studio, Acoustic textured drywall is a decent pumpkin texture:

bryan_lagrange · October 10

Winner should get this……..Or do we have to wait for an official Onshape desgin contest for a shot at the title????? Its been a while…….

MichaelPascoe · October 10

Hey, if you fund it, I'll help with anything you need to get it done. @bryan_lagrange

bryan_lagrange · October 10

Let me look for just a belt. I could make the plates here at Mezco.

MichaelPascoe · October 10

I think something that can sit on your desk would be better imo. 😆 I don't really have a good place to put mine =P

bryan_lagrange · October 10

You have to wear it until the next champion is crowned. :)

bryan_lagrange · October 10

What would be a good desktop item for the winner? Stand alone item like a trophy or something that will have an additional everyday use feature? A phone stand? Multi-tool? A desktop item most CAD users would use? Lets hear the ideas from the forum. Something creative and still within a decent price range for making it.

Derek_Van_Allen_BD · October 10

I'm an advocate that any good competition deserves a good trophy. But I grew up in an era where school budget cuts and shrinkflation seemed to hit trophies the hardest and I never got over being given a paper certificate for something that my older siblings got physical shelf decor for 2 years prior.

bryan_lagrange · October 14

Movies have the Oscars……Onshape Render Battle could have the Shapeys

MichaelPascoe · October 14

@bryan_lagrange That's awesome! 😆Simple, noticeable, and repeatable!

We could do the cell phone stand like mentioned earlier or perhaps even a laptop stand if the winner has a laptop?

I printed the first prototype of "Shapey". :) Maybe we could do an end of the year "Shapeys" User Group. We could have the forum vote on Feature Script of the year, Forum Contributor of the year; Forum helper of the year, Forum Render of the year, etc :)

Print looks good!

Brilliant!
