The Challenge Rules

1). Each challenge we'll post a subject for you to model along with a time limit on how long you should spend on it. Spend no longer than the allocated time then post a render of your model. No cheating, we are relying on your honesty here and the idea of speed modeling is to simulate a "real world" environment. If you are working on a project and asked to show a concept model you'll need to be able to get somewhere near the target in the allocated time. Your submission should be a model created especially for this challenge and not one you have stored on your hard drive. How you interpret the brief is up to you as long as the final model conforms to what we have asked for. Any images of models that do not match the brief can be removed and the poster disqualified.

2). You may enter as many times as you like as long as each model is completely new and uses no components from other entries. Entries using models which are not original will be removed and the poster disqualified.

3). Your entry may contain as many views of your model as you like and must include a clear and easy to see wireframe of the mesh before any smoothing/subdivision has been applied. Wire renders/ Cell Shaded or Screengrab wireframes are acceptable. Any wireframes we cannot see correctly will be disqualified. The key is for us to be able to see the wireframes clearly to ascertain how you modelled the subject matter.

4). You MUST include the following details with each submission:

A). Software used
B). Time spent creating the model.
C). A Clay Render of your models.

Any further information is voluntary but posts not containing the required information can be removed and the poster disqualified.

5). Post TWO images per entry which must be no larger than 1280x1024 pixels in either landscape or portrait format with a file size of no more than 195k.
1 image for your wireframes and 1 for your clay combined with a optional beauty render.
These images must be uploaded to our servers using the "browse" button on the forum reply page.
Do not link to external images files. Images larger than the maximum size or posts containing links to external images (other than for reference materials)
will be removed and the poster disqualified.

6). The creation of displacement maps, normal maps and any splines drawn out in an external program other than your modeling software are to be included in your modeling time.

7). Time spent on rendering or texturing or building a scene in which to display your model is not included in the allocated period to allow those with slower machines to participate on an even playing field. What we are looking for is the quality of the models you can produce "under pressure". If your model is not complete, you can still post it as long as it's recognizable.

8). Posting the same entry twice in a challenge is considered to be double posting and will result in a disqualification. When asked to fix a previous post due to DQ or any other reason, you must fix the first post, or delete it altogether and create a new one.

9). The Winner must email jo@3dtotal.com to claim their prize.

10). Only 1st place & 2nd place (i.e. the runner up) can claim a prize.

These rules apply to everybody taking part there will be NO exceptions!

Subject: Time Machine.
Deadline - 10:00PM GMT 30th March 2012.
Description: Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space. Time travel could hypothetically involve moving backward in time to a moment earlier than the starting point, or forward to the future of that point without the need for the traveler to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Any technological device – whether fictional or hypothetical – that would be used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine. In this challenge you can choose to model any kind of machine that would allow someone to travel in time, this could be anything from a machine that you stand or sit in all the way to even a toaster! So as ever the choice is yours.

Modelling Time: 90 Mins.

Prizes:

1st Place - £30 worth of 3DTotal downloadable products & a gold award badge.
2nd Place - £10 worth of 3DTotal downloadable products & a silver award badge.
Honourable Mentions - Bronze Award Badges

Above All Else Have Fun & Good Luck!

I went with the TARDIS, seemed a good method of practising with Cinema 4D since I've only ever used 3DS and need to be able to for an internship I've got coming up.

Ok here we go, a machine that makes time (or something like that)

borgfriend - Interesting idea, nicely done :) My only crits are that you could utilize the full 1280x1024 resolution sizing for your composites and your wireframes could do with being alot clearer to help me judge the way you have modelled all the elements etc.

Hello everyone !

Here is my entry : the cell phone-microwave time machine. The concept is based on the one in the anime Steins;Gate. Basically, You can send a significative message in the past (after the invention of cell phones of course) to any mobile phone with a complex electronic system, and by opening the microwave's door to create a big electric shock needful to send the message correctly.
Therefore, the "old you" makes a different choice about the thing you want to change by reading the message and then, the future changes.
It works on the theory of parallel universes.

Anyway, I ran out of time so I couldn't go further in details. I will speed up on the next SMC !

Good luck every one ! :)

A very cool entry to start off with too, modelled really well with excellent clean meshes all over and a very different and interesting idea, I look forward to seeing more from you in this & future challenges!

Welcome, welcome, welcome :dance:

won't happen again, by my mesh you can clearly see i rushed it in 50 min :(

ough well, didn't turn out such a disaster, since the concept was rough, and i expected more out of the finished piece
