It was announced today at 6:05 that dip sh** Hall won the first annual McCrump Rendering Contest. He has won a $25.00 Bounty and a Cheap 10" plastic trophy. Congrats to Dip Sh** Hall. Thanks to Barton and Jintu for participating, we all appreciate your efforts.

Just tried it, could not repeat your issue, it worked for me....... using 1/8"..... but I did notice anything less than 20/32" rounded down, and we all know 19/32" should be rounded up. Anything 1/2" or more should round up. I think you found a bit of a bug, I think you should report it.

Okay, my dad says he got CA IN 1958, mmmmmmm........ That was 56 years ago, before I was born, but all I have to say is he taught me 95% of what I know, thanks Pops.

That would be great, I think we would all appreciate that, especially BB, since he is having a difficult time exceeding expections, but I have to say, BB did do a great job, just don't tell the judge. Thanks JC, see you next Thursday at the RBI for a round of golf.

Hi Michael, I think the winner should be announced at our workshop tomorrow morning....... it is very kind of you to let BB know that my rendering is much better than his, but when we meet tomorrow morning, please let him know that your decision was a very difficult decision, but after much contemplation, it was obvious that my rendering exceeded all expectations, see you in the am.

Okay guys, I have to get to work, so this is my submittal, better than Jintu in my not so humble opinion, but BB might have me beat. This is my classic CRAPPY 2 MINUTE RAYTRACE. If only McCrump had offered a $50.00 payout, I may have spent more time. Hey McCrump, please pick me, it will save me the cost of a cheap 10"plastic trophy.

BTW, if Jintu wins, what will it cost me to send a cheap 10" plastic trophy to Manila? Is it a lot of money? Jintu, would you mind picking it up yourself to save me postage? Nuts, I better try to win this contest myself to save money.

No problem, I will send to home address.

I have to say Jintu, if you want that $25.00 prize money and the cheap 10" trophy, you have to do better, I think BB has you beat. It's nice, but BB did a really nice job.

I wonder if a ceiling hole would work.

Never considered kbirds method, I might try it. I do not like Tommy's method. I think the best method is to put a wall in and designate it as retaining. Now here is the key.......... Adjust the height of the top and bottom of wall. Now put the height back to original elevation if you want. The key is once you have changed the elevation, it will STAY as you put it.

How much room is between the flatten roof and stairs?

Barton, you are setting the bar pretty high, nice job.

Yeah, I think Perry has been practicing the Models look. Kind of a good looking guy, I wonder if a Penny appreciates him.......... Hey P., if you get time would you mind saying something nice about me so I can pass it on to my wife?

I got to tell you, I think I am moving to Norway. If I want to add a doorbell outside my front door, I need 38 sheets of plans, an engineers signature, the blessing of President Obama and my wife's approval. Oh wait, I also need coastal approval, fire department approval, city approval and the blessing of the Zoo Curators at the San Diego Zoo...... did I mention I need FAA approval? Anyway, that is why I make the big Pesos..... I have to jump through a lot of hoopolas.

Yeah, I will get to that, plus landscaping improvements.

My second stab at it. Another CRAPPY RAYTRACE, 2 minutes max. What I am finding interesting is my own CRAPPY RAYTRACES are much better, so what am I missing? Anyway, I am enjoying the challenge. I have to get to work now and earn some pesos. It will be much better before the deadline...... I hope.

Okay, here is my first stab at it, my CRAPPY RAYTRACE, 2 minutes max. I can do better. What is great about this is the process of taking somebody else's plan, and trying to make it work with our own standards. My standards are very low, as I said, max. 2 minute ray trace, I might stretch it to 3 minutes. Anyway, thanks Michael for the challenge, I will do better before the deadline.

Yeah, I think you are right, hey Michael, get your act together and get us the textures, thanks.

Hey P. I sure hope you can help us out with your entry. And I will see you Saturday too.

Oh Michael, this is so awesome. Give me a couple of days, believe it or not, I actually have work to do, and no cheap trophies, I get paid in Pesos out here in SoCal. Oh, one more final rule. All entries must be posted prior to Friday, August 29th at 12:00 pm midnight. This will give you Michael 6 hours to determine the winner of the $25.00 and the 10" cheap plastic trophy and you can announce the winner at our Saturday workshop at 6:00 am pst. Awesome stuff Michael, thanks for participating, I will have my entry in before the deadline.

There you go Michael, you already have three Vermin chomping at the bit wanting to give you the best dang funeral home in the world. Oh, one final rule, your funeral home, you are the final arbiter when it comes to determining the winner of the $10.00 Prize money and the Cheap 10" tall trophy.

Learn manual roofs is my suggestion.

Yep, I get this, not sure if everyone understands this.

Hey Michael, lets's call it the MMCCRUMP; RENDERING CONTEST. Here are the rules: -we have to use your materials -we have to use your ugly cars -we have to use columns but.... -we can put in our own landscaping -we can choose any camera angle -we can choose any media, whether rendering, ray trace, water color etc. this could be fun, are you in? This could be very enlighting. You put up the $10.00, I will pay for the cheap plastic trophy (minimum 10" tall), let's do it!!!
