Entry #6 by @Derek_Van_Allen_BD
(Using the latest IRL rendering platform! Incredibly photorealistic — though the “render set up time” was probably measured in days!)
While this entry isn’t a digital render, it’s such an outstanding piece of carving art that it absolutely deserves recognition in the Hall of Fame if voted in. For contest purposes, if this one is voted in, we will also move to the next highest-voted entry that qualifies as an actual render.

Had to re-post since new pages keep getting created..
@Derek_Van_Allen_BD Either way, your carving is awesome! 😎

Thanks @EvanReese! And thanks for kicking off the voting! It's really nice to have the ice broken.
My vote will go to Entry #3 by @mlaflecheCAD with a strong head nod of approval to @Derek_Van_Allen_BD's sheet metal skillz.
The variety of pumpkins and cinematic lighting really captured the theme.
I will say the scariest pumpkin by far is @eric_pesty's.

Any thoughts on why I'm getting this
@EvanReese That's an accurate read on the process. Essentially I just forked the default sheet metal start feature and removed all of the geometric safeguards to try to shove unusual surface geometry through the sheet metal kernel and see how it builds, which is how I was able to do conic sheet metal a few months ahead of time before they went public with that feature. It turns out that the whole 3d side of the script will run essentially perfectly even though it'll fail at producing a flat pattern representation of the sheets, so if you get it to the 3d stage you can do an offset surface and flatten that to get yourself your exports for production. Corner reliefs and edge geometry apparently never need to hit the 2d stage to meet up correctly to form a corner to corner welding joint.
I then reimported these flats to Onshape for easy document control, and this is where I wish there were an option to export flattened surfaces to a different tab to avoid the reupload step. I could have easily stuck to .dxf exports and done the rest outside of onshape but there was a version of this I thought about making 3d printed dies that held the flats for forming operations until I ultimately ended up just using the 3d pieces for that purpose.
Mostly I was curious to put Surface Flatten through its paces and inspired by a comment from @bryan_lagrange in another thread to do a metal lamp in the most extra way I possibly could.
