From the beginning this "Rastaman" was planned as a Christmas-Ball, which had a special reason beside my common Madness. It all was made for another C4D-Cafe.com 3D-CGI-Competition. In this case it was the "X-Mas-Challenge". The goal was to create an almost original kind of Christmas-Ball in 3D.  Then all entries are collected by the starter of that competition as a 3D-File, and finally be "hanged" onto a predefined 3D-Christmas-Tree.

Unfortunatley i lost the final result with my own, and all the works of the other competitors. However i held my own Christmas-Ball-Project on Harddisk at least in Cinema-4D-File-Format! :)

Down there another series of pictures on topic...

An interesting 3D-CGI-Competition was held at the website C4D-Cafe.com in the year of 2007. The theme was as long as i still know: "Your favourite food". The task was to setup your favourite food, as a still image in 3D within a time span of 2 weeks. Work must be done with the 3D-Software Cinema 4D as the competition makers wanted.

My choice at that time was a very healthy kind of salad diner table (at that time really one of my favourite foods! ;) ), in a Toscana and "Bella Italia" like setting.

The final result really was made in that period of 2 weeks, and as long as i know i gathered a final ranking at the first 3 places. Eventhough the amount of competitors wasn't that super really high, it was kind of exiciting and successful for me! :)

Below some preview-pictures of the workflow and the final competition image.

This two, usually friendly figures from the Underworld, i called "Dirtmonsters" and were my contribution to just another CGI-3D-Competition on the website C4D-Cafe.com. From 2007-2011 i used to contribute on their competitions frequently.

Undoubtedly the Theme of this competition would be Monster. But at least i forgot about the detailed target for this. What's left are a series of Preview-Pictures and the final result of course, which i'd like introducing you.

The Chieftain-Tank surely was a must have in my 3D-Creation-History, as i grown up in a village which was near a maneuver-area of the British Forces in Germany ("Army of the Rhine"). This means a lot of Chieftains and other military stuff on the (damaged) streets, and a certain kind of fascination regarding those Steel beasts in myself.

This model made with Cinema 4D is the first in a series of british Military models, i'll probably will continue in my Hobbyist-Works as long as time and possibilites are there.

With 1-2 month duration (but not entirely fulltime!) the project was rather big. The most of it was done in 2011. However the 1920x1080 renderings are "updates" from 2017.
