speed modelling challenge week 6 - wooden toy

[Andy_k-3DT]

speed modelling challenge week 6


The "rules" are simple,

1, Each week we'll post a subject for you to model along with a time limit on how long you should spend on it. How you interpret the brief is up to you as long as the final model conforms to what we have asked for.

2, spend no longer than the specified time on the modelling stages then render the image.

3, Post the image here along with your details, software used, time spent etc.

4, time spent on rendering or texturing is not included in the alocated 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"

5, if your model is not complete, you can still post as long as it's recognizeable

6, no cheating, we are relying on your honesty here and the idea of speed modelling 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.

7, No limit to the number of entries each person is allowed as long as each one is a completely new model and not one that utilises bits of previous entries

prize of a 3D Total texture CD to the best entrant. We'll judge it to avoid the voting process getting too complicated and winners will be notified by email.

so, here we go, with this week's challenge

deadline - midnight GMT Wednesday 28th July

modelling time - 40 minutes

subject - wooden toy

[Andy_k-3DT]

as usual, my contribution

an image I did a while back in trueSpace, using nothing but primitive objects.

modelling time 30 minutes

[eodeo]

Really nice img andy. A while back in truespace / only primitives. wow

[Orkron]

great concept, I'm gonna have at least 20 entries in this one...I have a 2-year-old, so the number of wooden toys I have for her is the number of models I plan to make LoL.

if memory serves me correctly I did that image in trueSpace 4

I'm a new to the forums ... i think this is a great idea the speed challenge ... here's my toy.

using Maya 5.0 on a Mac
modeled in 38 min ... man it was tough, since i'm kinda new to maya (transitioning from Max)
Texturing about 15 sec., and rendered in about 20 sec ... took into PS to crop it.

[Argalius]

Texturing about 15 sec
How did you do that :eek:

[p3dro]

my mistake ... i meant to put 5 min ... sorry

[Argalius]

I thought, wow, how can he do that in 15 sec :D

[tturunen]

my first speed challenge ..

modeling about 15min

No problem ;) but I must say your texture looks very realistic much better than my prefab Max texture :ugh:

[supremo]

[Badaboom]

Hi here is mine

On Maya 6

[Andy_k-3DT]

being as the challenge is to model a wooden toy I'm guessing a sensible answer would be "no"

however, why not do a little research - google is your friend :)

or simply model a plastic one and put a wood texture on it

Andy

Any more daft questions like this one will result in slaps being administered to the people asking them :)

[UnNamedD342]

My contribution! :)

First thing ive ever really made...im new to 3ds max..and 3d modeling. Its not very good in my opinion. I might submit more.....

[Picassosonofham]

This is, i think, the best wooden toy there is.
>>>Lincoln Logs<<<
Made in 3ds Max 6

Basically i just made one of each part and cloned it.

It took the whole 40 minutes because i ran into some snags.

The lighting, texturing, and rendering took another 30 minutes because i used global illumination.

27 min for textures and light
5 sec for rendering
3ds max 6




This soppose to look like simple voden doll of goku allthough I think the hair is a bit too sharp I hope it's not a big problem,This is two different looks of the same model.Expect new posts wery soon Good luck to everyone.PS Comments and critics are wellcome.

Hello this is my first post on this forum and my first ever speed challenge.

wheni was growing up my favorite thin gin the world was to play with my brother on the bunk beds. Jumping off of it playing tag on and under it. i had loads of fun with it. plus this speed model is probably going to be tweaked and added to the house im moddelling right now.

anyway to the stats

20 min modding bed
20 on matress as well as 3 redo's and still crud, but matress isn't focus, so ...

5 min texturing (obviously i suck)
about 10 sec render.

[Picassosonofham]

This is another classic wooden toy.
>>The Labrynth<<

Modelled in 3ds max 6

It took 34 minutes (to the minute) to model.

The real pain was the textures, that took about an hour and that includes the making of textures.

[crooks5001]

wow your labryinth had a path to the exit? mani musta bought the knockoff version mine only had numbers on the holes... then my dog ate the marbles so i couldn't play anymore it sucked a lot.

[ishotharold]

ok, heres the first one for me, a toy dog that my dad had when he was a kid. please crit.

model time: all 40 mins

Since you didn't say sh*t about that!

jeez Orkron!! Take it easy! I have a right to say that I like Anduvo's complete set of chess without adding comments on your piece!!

Besides, not saying that I like it does not mean I don't like it.
Your model is fine but out of the 10 pages, Anduvo's model is the one that stood out for me.

No hard feelings anyway. :D

Keep modelling man, I wish I could do the same as you!

I need to buy some good books on how to use 3D Studio Max 3 better. Any suggestions? All I have is the Visual Quickstart Guide by Michele Matossian. (The Book I Have (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201353504/104-7681796-7559132?v=glance))

[Viper0]

My second toy :D A clasic one: Swords and shields
I think that I have improve with the wood textures :o or not?? :(
Modeled in the full 40 minutes, always add details until the time limit arrives.
Texured in about 40 minutes more.
Render in 2 minutes.
All in 3dStudio Max5.

your car is great. nice model and nice rendering. the one thing I think you should fix is in your texture. this toy doesnt look like it was carved out of wood because the wood grain is not flowing all in one direction. I dont know 3dsmax but in maya we have projection texture which gives it that look of real wood grain.

PS. I got lots of work and i dont have time to think abut speed modeling. Good luck to everyone :-)

[smallpiece]

...nice work H2O...the textures really set it off nicely...

[H2O-3DT]

thx smallpiece.

A really fast one.
All modelling, texturing and setup done in 40 min.

Paperweight for children or adults.. :)

---- "Ya, cuz children are always saying: "mom have you seen my paperweight? This wind is blowing all my important documents off the desk!"
lol nice model...but a wooden toy?

"
:o

Agreed.. :)

Since i actually only spent 25 min modelling the first, i used 10 min on some new wheels.
Now its a toy!!.. :) hmm some sort of push toy i think. :p

total modelling time:35 min.
texturing lighting and remake setup: 40 min

[H2O-3DT]

hmm.. u may have a point..:o
But i would like a toy like that.. :)

[smallpiece]

kind of makes mine look slightly feeble...
It took about 30mins in total including the final render.... thats what i get for being a newbie....
.....excuses, excuses....

[smallpiece]

Guess I should add a pic really..

Dude... don't down yourself like that.... that's a really nice model... and render. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get strings to look and lay naturally! Good Job!

[smallpiece]

Cheers Marty...
...yeah, strings not the most convincing but like you said its hard to do, especially with a time limit..

[Orkron]

Nurb splines, then loft from a circle, can have very nice results
if you lay the spline out correctly first.

[dragefar]

This wooden toy gives hours of entertainment, kan be found in your local toy store! Enjoy! Featuring a clay version and a full color version!

3dsmax 5.1
3 - 5 mins altogether.

[H2O-3DT]

I agree. nice Model smallpiece

.. Well textured and good rendered..

Should have added weels to the dragon... then it would be a toy... Doh!!.. :)

[Death_monkey]

Some very nice entries coming in so far.
I came across an image while browsing google and it sort of stuck in my head so I ended up basing it on that
I didn't have enough time to do a decent texture on so I just slapped on a wood texture the model itself took me 30 mins
C&C always welcome

I like it...it's pretty.

And my 5th contibution...which is actually what I was trying to do with my third entry (Third Entry (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20715&perpage=15&pagenumber=10) ) but spent most of my time just trying to figure out how to chamfer the parts. However I tried again after spending some time experimenting and retried. This is what I ended up with.

Software: 3D Studio Max R3
Modeling: 40 Minutes...couldn't finish it all, but tried. Couldn't make the smoke stack block, and three rounded blocks on the third car.
Texturing: about an hour

It was the sheer number of faces in that file...Moving/editing them was like pulling
a truck through the mud with your bare hands!
Not fun, but the outcome is desirable....soooo....

[ishotharold]

heres num 2 for me, well, the clay of it anyways, round bout 11:30 tongiht i decided i was gonna do something with tinker toys, preaty sure its 4:45 before i made soemthing i was happy with within the 40 min time limit. i'll post textured model later. crits. welcome.

Model time: ALL OF IT ;)
texture/render... not textured/ rendering is taking close to 10 mins a frame. (i run a laptop :()

[Mille]

smallpiece- Thanks a lot! :)

I'm not sure but I have a feeling that was directed at me since you wrote it after my post:shy:
Well I just want to say that I do work fast, I'm pretty extreme in this way, I think if you ask my workmates they would confirm this. Also I was going extra fast for the sake of it here too. For textures and stuff like lightiing I have a lot of assets since before so I didn't need to actually "make" any textures other than for the eyes.

That chess game looks really nice:)

Mille:)

[Undertow]

does anyone know where theres some good wood textures....besides from this sites cd

Orkron

chill relax the guy was just saying its 40mins i dont think he was trying to be a a$$.
And this might come as a surprise but there are people that may work faster then you.No need to throw out comments like that

[GlahES]

Mille - i dont think what orkron said was directed at you.. you jus hit a nerve ^_-

smallpiece - bust some non textured pics.. your texturing is really awesome, as is the overall render.

I usually try to stay away from stuff like bumpmaps and realistic textures in these competitions since it's a modeling comp., and supposedly texturing and lighting dont play a part in the judging decisions. Texturing like what you've submitted can really add to the model, make it look like theres more geometry than there really is.

..i'd say theres a few questionable entries in every week's competition.. but since u cant proove either way. This week i'd say theres only 1 that i would deem questionable.. but i try to have an optimistic look on things.. instead of saying "theres no Freakin way!" i say "That guy must be really fast!" ^_^

[anduvo]

I think Orkron was talking about me, it spite me I didn't record a video this time, maybe if i have time, I will remake it later and publish the video in the web :p

[GlahES]

he wasnt directing that at any one person. i think he jus got a little offended and u hit a nerve.. if i was a single parent with a full time job and went to school full time.. i think i'd be a little moodier than him.. he's a pretty laid back kool guy. Anywho..

heres mine- Lightwave
modeling: 38 mins
textures/setup: 15 mins

cheers anduvo and mille i'll use one of them.

[smallpiece]

I know what you mean Glahes, about textures adding to the geometry and therefore the whole picture. Firstly I'd like to thank you for saying my textures are that good. Guess i got lucky with the ones I used, as i was under the impression my texturing was pretty taime compared to some of you guys.....anyway heres a couple of clay images showing how simple they are.

[Andy_k-3DT]

come on guys, calm down, this is meant to be for fun :)

in Orkron's defence, he didn't actually call anybody an idiot, just saying that pot leaves were for idiots and I suspect you realised there was a chance of a response like this when you posted the original image. It wasn't big and it wasn't clever posting it in the first place.

As to the time comment, I must admit that sometimes we are a little suspicious of some of the entries, and if this is the case we drop the person a line asking how they did it in the time and so far, with one exception the answers supplied have been pretty convincing :)

Anyway, let's all calm down and get back to the fun side of things.

My 2nd "Wooden Toy"

3D Studio Max 5.1 (modelling, assembly and texturing)
Photoshop ME (.jpg compression)

Modelling time: about 30 mins (I know that seems like a long time for such a simple model... but I guess I wanted it to have a certain shape and I wasn't satisfied until it "looked" right)
Texture and Lighting time: a few hours... (Mostly tweaking and test renders... like many other people here, I feel that texturing is my weak point!)
Rendertime: about 2 minutes (default scanline render with skylight)

[GlahES]

smallpiece - very nice. your models are very clean - they look great.

ishotharold - looks pretty kool, i remember tinker toys.. hehe.. good stuff.

[GlahES]

heres mine in.. "clay" i guess.. no color or bump added. first image i posted had a procedural texture, by the way, no image maps.

[Orkron]

millie : As people have already said, I was not targeting anyone specifically.
I felt like throwing that out there so people would be less likely to abuse the "honor system"
I never went back and checked to see who I meant because I didn't mean anyone in
particular.
Also: You could spend 6 days on textures and it wouldn't bother me in the least,
aside from being jealous :-) This comp is about the model not the maps.
Which made me laugh in one of the other comps when andy mentioned that
the textures made some of the judging harder...So, despite sometimes turning
a very simple piece of geomotry into a very nice model, textures generally don't always
help.

GlahES: Thanks for coming to my defense, however I think i was trying to get
a rise from people...if only to make some people be more wary of posting bullsh*t posts. Love the truck btw.

potsmoking guy: You knew that it would offend some people cuz u posted a "pc" version...I don't remember marley ever saying he
had a fooseball table as a kid with pot leaves on it....
If you're offended, o well, I'm not politically correct

edit: anduvo Nice chess set...I was not targeting you. If you look at mine,
then yours...you'll see mine is very detailed (lots of small poly shaping)...yours
is (not an insult, seriously) a lot more basic. I believe you did that in the
time limit

P.S. I will not be making anyone's ego feel better after this post so please don't
ask me if "you's is the one I meant" because I'll tell you it was!

[GlahES]

also about the texturing.. if u have a crappy model with good textures, it ususally end up crappy. unlike smallpiece who has a very well made model and great textures.

Smallpiece - in the textured one did u add bump maps as well? jw.

[smallpiece]

..Cheers Glahes, they're all pretty simple cause i'm kinda paranoid about the time running out half way through, but they come out pretty well for what they are.
This next one took me a couple of attempts to get right, mainly cause i used splines which are not a favorite of mine.
model time: 36 mins
texture: 20mins
render: about 2 mins

P.S...impressed with everyones entries so far, theres some pretty slick looking toys about.(I was deprived as a kid, all I had was that damn woodpecker on a stick)

[smallpiece]

I usually add a bump map to all my textures, varying the amount for each object. I find its an easier way to 'bring it all to life', so to speak.
So yeah, they've all got bump maps.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

For someone who was "deprived" as a kid... you're coming up with some pretty nice models! I'm definately jealous... all I've come up with is a top and a stupid yo-yo! :mad:

[Orkron]

niiiiiiiiiice model smallpiece.
Very simple, yet very good

[smallpiece]

Marty- you may have only done these simple objects, but thats what everyones doing. all wooden toys make people think of things they had years ago, which are things like yoyo's and spinners.
I think were all on the same wave length,keeping it simple.

Orkron- Cheers.., I think 'simple' is the key to this project, so thats what i'm working on..

keep up the good work fellas..

...oh, and heres my 'clay' version.

[Orkron]

I like the clay version better :-)
But now it looks like plastic, lol

[GlahES]

yah taht clay needs a bit more glossiness. but looks sweet. ^_^

[smallpiece]

..........cheeky........ theres no pleasing some people..lol..

My 3rd "Wooden Toy"

3D Studio Max 5.1 (modelling, assembly and texturing)
Photoshop ME (.jpg compression)

Modelling time: 40 minutes (I definately would've liked more time on this scene... but it's not a scene modelling contest, it's a speed modelling contest so... at least the important parts were finished.)
Texture and Lighting time: a few hours... (just trying to make things look good... as usual)
Rendertime: almost 4 minutes (default scanline render with skylight) I'm starting to like this skylight thing... :)

Story: Frustrated because he has been outmatched by someone he feels is inferior to himself, our antagonist smacks the board and storms off in a "Jealous Rage". Some people just don't know how to have fun...

Thanks alot!

I just wish I was as creative as some.... :p

[smallpiece]

...Well I think you're doing alright....creativity is only half of it. Most of the objects posted here are based on something that exhists, that alone gives you a good starting point. I guess the rest is how you interpret it.

[GHiOM]

I've made a NPR with Final render to print on the box of my WoodenCow........... just a little work on photoshop ;)

[GHiOM]

and finaly =)

[dotzro]

Marty_McFly nice but also remember that if the pieces were made out of the same piece of wood as the board then you need to adjust the texture sizes on the pieces and make it bigger

[smallpiece]

....nice work fella, excellent final render.........

There is a tutorial at 3dtotal.com that includes making grass, here (http://www.3dtotal.com/team/tutorials/zaheer/zaheer_basic.asp). Just scroll down and look for "Creating the Grass." There is also a very good tutorial at 3DCafe.com here (http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/tutorials/max/grass/grass.asp).
