RawArt - beautiful work. I make my cards (and even a year calendar) with Bryce - so this is a bit OT. Happy Holidays everyone.
Topic is Cards...so not off topic.
Looks great to me
Rabbicus wishes Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
(Rabbicus is a long running joke between Novica and I)
Like Horo I use Bryce, but this was my card a couple of years back, I had it printed out by one of the "design your own cards" type company and they looked good if slightly darker than it appears on screen
Peace on Earth Goodwill to all Men

Love to look at everyone's card!
I usually do one every year often using DAZ. Here is mine done in DS for this year :
No!! Please don't fall!

Merry Christmas!
This scene is called "Warble Gloaming" as due to some mysterious aspect of the Waygate (rear right of image) which connects Fairyland to Humanland, whenever Humanland undergoes global warming, Fairyland undergoes a not quite opposite warble gloaming. The fairies from left to right are Gia (no relation to her DS namesake), Jaya, Cake, Breeze and Mirelle. Breeze is a visitor from the Swallowtail clan, while the others are of the Butterfly clan.
Some very impressive cards here. This is my attempt for this year, a bit of a rush job since I left it to the last moment as usual. I use Gimp to superimpose a personalised greeting for each card.
I got a reply this time asking if was a 3D render and saying it was very realistic if it was. I replied with details of Daz Studio, maybe I'll get someone else interested.
These are very cool, thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
Actually been in a Christmas card contest all month..
My DS Christmas Cards this year weren't very Christmasy, but approriate for the person. Here are a couple from previous years.
_and looking pretty good _
They look just fine. My other two are not for Daz Forum although don't break the rules lol
Yes I did , "Singing around the Christmas Tree"
Happy Holidays everyone , I hope y'all got exactly what you wanted :)

Not in Daz yet planned to this year but a flood upstairs- that went through the garage ceiling - last Wednesday (busted angle stop in spare bathroom) ruined my plans. But a couple of decades ago for race clients I threw these together in PS.
Beautiful Cards everyone! I have gotten so sidetracked on everything I havent even gotten one done this year.
Very cool seeing all the cards...thank you for sharing :)
I used this oldie I did in 3DL for my cards this year with the caption "Wreck The Halls"
Did this one last year for Christmas ran it through PhotoSketcher
Here is mine from this year, it was meant to be an upgrade to the first christmas card i made years ago, the second image, i've made a few others too :)
edit, phone won't upload images will try again soon :/
Well, can't upload the image with out a weird error message, so I will attach it...
Done some years back with POSER, originally a Cherubim (four wings), but that blew everyone's mind, so back to tradition...

I didn't get around to doing any cards this year -- was too busy with other stuff -- but I made several last year!
This one was inspired by a retro 1960s card, though in that one the deer were pink and the tree atomic blue. I opted for something more subdued. Littlefox's toony unicorn with extra antler bits and a deer texture. I think the tree was a DAZ PA holiday freebie from some years back. Snowflakes are brushes. Added a texture in postwork.
This one was inspired by an image I saw on Pinterest. HW House Cat with a few really old props, including some from the late RDNA site. One or two of the bulbs might be a DAZ PA holiday freebie from days of yore. I ran this one through my Topaz Clean filter effect; much postwork.
Another one inspired by a retro holiday card, though it was bright and sunny and my version ended up otherwise. The old 3DU Toon Santa is not terribly bendy; can't remember if that's the 3DU Toon Alien saucer or a freebie from ShareCG. This was the first time I'd used several of the PC "A Curious XX" buildings. Played around with the Let It Snow geoshell set, which was a DAZ PA holiday freebie at one point. Obviously postwork composition too.
A more generic wintry scene. Used the 3 Raven Court PC product, another oldie, with one of Flipmode's environments and a Flink Christmas Tree. Used the snow geoshell product again. Snow effects are postwork.
I found a few much older "cards" and had a moment of "render nostalgia," lol!
The little female figure is by AprilYSH, as is the little ninja guy, though he was a DAZ PA holiday freebie many, many years ago. I think the santa hat was a freebie from the Most Digital Creations site.This card was from 2010:
This one I initially created as a preview for a set of free poses I made for the original Sadie and Sam figures:
And one with a bunch of little Yweeb's, a cute Nursoda stand-alone figure. The steampunk tree was from Renderosity but it's not available anymore. For some reason I didn't any text to this one.
I might have a few more, but not sure where I filed them away...
I've been creating physical cards every year for the past ten Decembers. I started out using my own photography, and after I discovered DS would work on my (then) new computer, I added a 3D rendered santa to a snow scene I'd photographed a few years before and then I added a touch of snow with Ron's brushes. Over the years since, as I got better with Daz Studio, the cards got more sophisticated. Here's my card for 2019:
(It's a lot of fun to look at others' cards. Such a talented group of people we have here on the forums!)
Back side of the cover: That look you get when you recieve the perfect gift.
Inside facing page: May your blessings this holiday season make you jump with joy!
I knew I had more. My first take on a snowball fight (don't talk to me about finding winter clothes for guys) and a Christmas cat. And this years gift tag for presents
I made this one for my D&D group showing their characters around a Christmas tree. I printed enough through VistaPrint to give one to each player and to a couple people who had "guest starred" in earlier adventures but weren't regular players. Plus I kept one for myself.
Render (after a little bit of postwork in Photoshop) and a photo of the final printed card:
Wow! Many, if not most of these, look like professional or store bought cards. You all have inspired me to try my hand at making a Christmas card next year. I should start now as I'm very slow, and not great at this, LOL
Merry christmas all!
