Here is an early posting of the Day 1 Challenge for Mardini 2025. The first week focuses on Modeling using SOPS and the day 1 prompt is Toy. Your creativity will fill in the rest! The results should be rendered but don't need textures because the focus is on the shape you create. You can texture it in week 2 using COPS.

To be eligible for the daily prizes, you must post your Day 1 images to this thread before midnight EST on March 1st. There is another thread for animation. You can enter either an Image or Animation on any one day. You cannot enter both on the same day. You can create an Image one day and an Animation another.

Please go back to the Rules Page [www.sidefx.com] before diving in. Best of Luck!

Note: if you are posting to the SideFX forum for the first time then your post needs to be reviewed. You don't need to post multiple times. We will get to it! Also be sure to stick with the same username for the whole contest - if you change your username partway through your points could get mixed up.

Mardini Time!
I liked the concept of limiting the contexts you can use this year and went a bit Dogme 95, screenshots are permitted so I've used it as part of the scene, hope that doesn't disqualify the entry? Only used QuickMaterial and Houdini default Env Light Maps for 'render'
anyhow...here's a Rubber_Toy(AKA:Nelly) Tamagotchi Pet Toy, with a Toy TV advertising a Toy Advert (Slogan:超かわいいネリーお大事に(Super lovely Nelly, take care!))
