Quite good quality stuff you got here!




Mike Foster rocks!




Where is Taron? :)




some are cool some are cheese




some of those pics were way too cute to be ugly!




Wow, I've got some work to do!




What can i say #1 stands out from the rest. Very nice DOF effect.




Glad you're still keeping up the VERY good work! I don't have time to enter the contest any more, but I was very pleased my entry (very first winner) is still there.Regards,Daniel Dugour




Entry #2 isn't particularly




Cool work




Ouch! This pider really messed up with something inside me!




Great work, guys!




This a wonderful contest




I find I can't concentrate only on modeling skill---the way the whole thing is pulled off influences my decision no matter what.... But such is life! (:




Too many excellent choices! I went with the ones that were potentially real.




Yucky!




Impossible to pick three. Since I'm really working on building a humanoid head right now, those close ups of a face interested me more.




I really would like to vote for Both for Strangler.jpg and Redbull.jpg for first place. Also honorable mention should go to StrikePose, the spider. The modeland the stage work were amazing, problem was itwasn't shot as well as it should have been.




Well, really scary this time... !




The quality of the entries was pretty high this time. I love ugly!




Will Mendez's entry was awesome -- most original




None




Well, great pictures, but I thought the suject was ugly, not scary. May I point out that part (everything except the guy)of the image 15 comes from the game




One of these days I'll take part to this excellent contest. But as I can see...the battle is realy hard! Excellent images here.




Wow. I have used lightwave once in my life and i never thought there are so many artists out there that are able to create so exciting/different/interesting/fantastic/odd/andsoonimages in it... keep up the good work all... i will definatelygive lightwave another try :)




sooooo many good pictures. Though many of the pictures fits well under the topic tey still look great. :) Strangler is close to perfection.Bloodbath is making me sick. :)RedBull is one badass dude. Looks this a guy from the upcomming Diablo2.The Cannibal and AxeMan pictures are also very good. To sad you can only pick 3, when there are so many good ones.




how do you texture thoes damn things without UV




wow cool stuff




cool renders, thanks




awesome




Rules !!!!!!!




Ugly seems to be a synonym for scary in the entries submitted but interesting anyway.




It keeps getting harder and harder to only pick 3




Very good choice of images. There's a lot of very very good modeler.




red bull was also nice ugly




Too many good entries this month: I'm not quite pleased with my decisions...




red bull runs a close 4th




The quality of this month's entries is scary ! (pun intended)




Scary...




#s 1,3,10,17,&19 are ALL outsanding.




:)




Tough One. Maybe the toughest yet.




Je parle le français et je vote pour l'image n°12.




There's some really good stuff here! I esp. had trouble choosing my 3rd place choice, but since I'm partial to tarantulas (I have my pet tarantula Rosey :), I went with that one (although I thought the lighting was just too flat and dark the modeling is awesome),




wow - very hard to choose my top 3 should all be joint first IMO this month showed what a difference detailed texturing makes...




Very difficult this month Bloodbath and Thugly get honorable mentions




This time it was hard to choose between many different hi quality productions: I had to leave out some entries which deserved for sure, and I've just choosen the remaining ones which had a special feeling to me. Congratulations to all!




These entries never cease to amaze me. What talent!




My first choice is very terrible and realistic!!!




iick, these have to be the most gruesome images I've seen from Lightwave ever.




goog very good n°1 is number 12.




good




the good very very good.




Very good Topic!




Richard Natzke's picture is awsome!




Wow! The things some of these people do in their spare time is better than anything I've ever done working full time. Yikes! Humbling experience.




Extremely tough choices, amazing work here




I love this web site.




Tim Nasseur's image was awesome!!!




Truly superb entries...




These images are fantastic. Can we give 1st place to all three that I've selected?




The Bloodpath-Scene is GREAT ! I can smell the murdered flesh :)




This was tough... Lots of great images...




Fantastic work this month!




Whew! Tough one!




Excellent Michel Vervoort




Image number 10 is an extremely high quality model.




A very tough selection! Honorable mentions to entrys: 8,3,7,9,10,11,14 - excellent stuff! You should seriously consider asking NewtekniquesMagazine to publish ALL the winners and honorable mentions.




Excellent work by all




I look for a balance of modeling, texturing and lighting. If I look at an image and immediately start figuring out technical details, the artist has failed. If I look, and immediately have an emotional reaction or am pulled into the scene by its credibility, the artist has succeeded.




entry#5 good use of lighting entry#15 nice grit textureentry#19 realistic render,but needed more lighting




Wow!




Wow!!! Awesome images in this months ghastly group! I wish that I could vote for several first places, toss in a few seconds and a third or two. I didn't vote for my own image... didn't think that fair... especially sincethere are some images that might deserve the votes more! :)




Wow!




An excelent selection of entrys. I love the




Best contest yet. Unfortunately I work nights so I can barely get the time to compete. :( But I do enjoy watching! Thanks for your service!




Never mix your drinks.




Real Ugly for the for the time!!




EEEEEWWWWWWWW!




cool contest, dave.




Exceptionally good work.




....




keep up the great work dave




goran needs a web page so we can see more of his work!




some great ones this time around....wish there was a runner up or 4th place or something.




The topic is UGLY not WILD




Damn! This was a tough one. These guys are getting GOOD. I'm ready to quit.




AMAZING entries this month!!!




Some look really good, but others where too dark. I couldn't tell what they were!




Very difficult to decide this month. Too many good images.




I liked the expression in




Best competition at all! It was a really hard decision;)




This months modeling is excellant, all diserve a round of applause.




keep up the great ideas for these competitions!!




Most of them are very good modeling, but only few have good texturing. But the average quality of this months contest is one of the top.




Even though we are only supposed to judge the subject model, I can't help but base my selction on the complete image. The imapct delivered by these three would not be there with out the background,lighting, and detail. These are art!




The best (or ugliest) images created so far.




I agree with you 100% Lots of great images!! Will




Some are beautifully ugly...some are just ugly. great stuff!!!
