Is the chain the main object here?

Oh, my apologies. I couldn't tell. That is unusual!!!

This chain is not made out of an unusual material as the instructions have stated.

Looks fantastic. Does anyone else really need to enter? Is this not the winner?

I'm flattered. I think I have the largest gift!

What is it? It looks like a 3d render.

Mario? Maybe. Super? Definitely not.

Super cool!

Super cool!

Agree with all, corner is not the "main focus", as the contest describes.

This is simulated HDR, using post processing techniques. Cool image, though.

Bummer that the spots aren't real rendered reflections. All in all, pretty cool.

I agree with friiskiwi. Why upload something when it's not your best?

No crops. I like it the way it is; gives it perspective.

Is this a photo? It looks like cg

Agree with Rumi. This is great.

Every time I see this it reminds me of LittleBigPlanet

That's cute.

I agree. The innards of the pizza are fantastic, as is most of the rest of the scene. It kind of gets lost though on the crust and especially the cheese part on the left where it dimples out. Fix those and you'll have a serious contender!

I like the "pear" logo!

I agree with you author, which is why I'm not even submitting in this contest. You can spend hours modeling details just so someone else can win with a texture. No thanks.

Agree with Akassa and Mossy, plus it would be nice to see a different texture for the crust

Agreed, nice concept and "simple at its best" execution.

Great concept.

4 eyes!

Nice.

Looks like a European voltage converter... and a spring? (cord protector)

p.s. - I'm not a big fan of the wall geometry going through each other. It would be nice if it were the inside of a cube, rather than 3 planes that intersect.

I love the texture and the panels on the door. Great work. I agree that the lighting is a bit weird, it almost looks as if the mat is glowing, but all-in-all it's not too bad imo.

Agreed, ceramic looks nice. Flower pot (I'm assuming) would look better round.

30 hours!!! Goodness man!

Love it!

Nice style!

Fantastic! I hope this one wins.

Hahahahha

Nice!

This is disturbing, to say the least.

Nice! Didn't know that existed. Thanks.

Yes! Everything looks great. Love the water droplets! The size of everything is proportionate, Great job!

Looks good. If I may make a few suggestions. First, I think the hot tub would have a liner to keep the water in. Second, the edges of the cedar planks would look substantially more real if they had a different texture (down an inch and a half with an "edge of board" texture.

Overall, great.

The water texture looks great! I'm not sure a tub outside like that is believable.

Look at those pearly whites! He must brush a lot.

The wood planks in the floor/table, scaled, would be like 3mm wide... Either that or it's a monstrously large brush!

This is cool.

What does everyone have Samsung monitors?

That's great!

I'll admit you did a terrific job. Unfortunately, I don't buy it. At the end of the day, I'm still looking at your source image, not your geometry, texture, etc,.. You've cleverly found a loophole in the wording of this contest, as it doesn't state that you may not use the source, and for that you deserve 1st. Bravo. Bravo.

Well done! Congratulations.

That's cute. No criticism here.

Ah, thanks for that correction.
