Something for the Weekend - Part 247 - The finest cut!

Community Expert ,
Aug 15, 2025 Aug 15, 2025

Hi,
Thanks to all who took part in our previous 'Holding Pattern' challenge.

 

For our new challenge we start with a simple object, a pizza cutter, which I quickly modelled in 3D and textured in Substance Painter. You could use it to make an image cutting a pizza or put it to a new use entirely. The only limitation is your imagination.

When you post your response can you add just a few words on how you went about it. It may help others see the potential of different approaches, software, and tools to such a challenge.

The “rules”:

  • Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
  • Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
  • Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
  • The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. 
  • There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
  • The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

 

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser). It is set against a transparent background so there is no initial cutting out required.

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun!

 

Dave

You can't have too many tools, Bob. 🙂 A set of new handles too.

I love the idea of orbiting slices as mother ships for flying saucers pepperoni slices. The music I'm hearing is either John Williams or Johann Strauss Jr.

Welcome back Trevor! I do like the way you have bent the handle into the bike frame shape.

I was trying to do a Ged, and dream up the most rediculous attachments for the multi-tool.  Ged would have had fold out elephants, a large trolly jack, and and auto-inflating hot air balloon all contained in that handle.
