[Orkron]

I want a remote that glows!

[H2O-3DT]

Some great pics this week..

My nr.2. I sat down and started thinking. What does my remotes
really need. More buttons? no.. :)

Finally a remote u CAN throw ! SPILL your drink over and even use in the shower. :)
Fully programmable.

Modelling: 45 min..
Texturing 25 min.

Modelled using poly and subdivision. Some Boolean.

[H2O-3DT]

[Orkron]

H2O, you forgot the hole for the cord to hang it around your neck in the shower ;-P

[H2O-3DT]

I knew there was something missing... :smug:

[Fogareu]

Hello everybody.
Here it is going my entrance.
The World's First Wireless Remote Control TV, in 1956 Zenith introduced the Bismarck Flash-Matic TV and the remote was the flashlight shaped like the raygun, Four photocells changed channels, on-off, and mute.
Software: 3d max 6
Modeling: 55 min.
texturing: 45 min.
Render: 30 sec.
Photoshop: 15 min.
All of the works are very creative and it is very pleasant to research on the themes.

[ThomsonX]

well here's the Clay :???:

we'd like it better if you read the rules - post removed

[Orkron]

LoL, Andy has turned into the Grinch! For good reason, but it's still kinda funny.

[Orkron]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say anybody who can use complicated programs like max, lightwave, cinema4d, maya, rhino, bryce, autocad, rtc etc etc.... I believe these people do have the ability to read and write, specifically, reading rules before posting submissions...Just a thought, maybe I'm wrong...

[Segreto]

i would have to agree with that

[Bruth]

I can read... :shy:

[Segreto]

sweet :)

[Segreto]

My 3rd entry,

Modeling: 35 minutes
Render: 10.5 Minutes
Software: Max6

[aliased]

Orkron
I think I know why you can never finish any other projects, it might have some to do with the amount of entries you submit per challenge - Excellent!

maybe if you break the rules your model is disqualified for that week - people might read better if they had to get it right first time?

Have to say there are some really cool models this week, it is going to be difficult to choose, good luck Andy!

[Orkron]

very nice Segreto, I know this comp is based on models, not mapping, but me personally, I think clays are boring, you got a textured version for us?

Thanks, I love this forum, and I'm not going anywhere. I'll post tons (in digital weight) before I ever get tired of submitting here.

In week two, I submitted 13...I'm gonna beat that, but first I need to quit school, quit my job, give my daughter up for adoption and stop sleeping :)

[Bruth]

Ahhh, sleeping is overrated anyways.

Quit School?!

I would love to have sleep to give up!

I am luck if I get chance for one average entry per week

[DESPISTADO]

C´mon people, how can you enter to a contest without read the rules? jeez, if you cannot read at least 100 times the rules you cannot enter to this challenge lol :P

tee hee - you probably "waste" at least 30 minutes each day eating - eeek - that's almost another entry :)


Nice to see you are so enthusiastic

Andy

[kombi]

You're supposed to attach the images, not link to them!!!

[ZAKU]

Me again with another one for the"stretching it"cat.
"MIND CONTROL"(as a remote that is)
Time:40 mins.
Max 6

[ZAKU]

And one made of clay.(I think i like white clay more than blue clay,don't you?)

[ZAKU]

We are all victims.
Modelling time:2.5 mins
Time to overcome fear of being hunted down and killed:23 years

Rendering time:Impossible to calculate.
(Screen flickered, went blue and displayed this message:You will download Spk 2 over and over.)

[jwest04031]

a very basic model. just a bump map and texture

cheers

[Brin]

Hey laserjock

Nice work, Not sure about the great minds though ;)

I love the lighting, and textures.

[JayF]

Thanks a lot Andy :D , but you forgot the textured version. Here it is: (Im trying the browse button and I hope it can be seen)

[laserjock]

Thanks for the comment Brin. Only default colours and rough map, nothing special. All in the lighting (covers a multitude of sins).
Just me with the great mind then?
Cheers
Chris

[QuantumFoam]

Here's my first post to this site, hope you all like it. For this I used Carrara Studio and the plugin Anything Grooves. By using this plugin it meant that some texturing was necessary as part of the modelling process so does this count in the modelling time (in which case modelling time=45mins, texturing time=35mins) or in the texturing time (in which case modelling time=31mins, texturing time=49mins)?
Rendering time=9s

Shame about the white edge around the main texture and the shape is quite like the original, but I'm new to this and did choose the most complicated remote in the house, so give me some credit. :)

[QuantumFoam]

and the clay:

[DESPISTADO]

lol im very very very very dummie hahahaha until now i know where are the result for the contest lol somebody kick me please, generally i never goback to read after of deadline hahahahaha i need a remote control for my brain like the zaku :D, i have two mention woohoo thank for that :D, i promise read after deadline :o and congrats to all winner

[aliased]

I dont think Orkron has modelled this controller yet!

modelled in Rhino 12 minutes
rendererd in max acouple of minutes
textured version to follow

[Orkron]

Damn, you beat me to it, hehe :)

[Sonic-X]

JUST TO SAY SONIC-X IS STILL IN DA HOUSE-BUT NO TIME TO PLAY.

Thats a really nice modell.. I really would hate if it got removed
because of technicallitys.
The max image size should be 800X600.
Your Textured version is great, but i think it is the wrong size res.

Great modelling.. :)

[3DGE]

Well, if you're talking about mine... it's EXACTLY 800x600 (the textured one) and 800x375 ;)

Thanks for the good crits, btw ;)

Seb

[Pachuco]

H2O:

thanks for your comments ;)

It's the first image that i post here and hope that everybody like it.
I read the rules and nothing says about the image size :???: The problem is that if i lower the size of the image it's gonna lose the details.

But i can do that if i have to!!

About the posting rules... It happens.. :)
Keep up the good modelling..

[dotzro]

wow alot of nice models and I dont have one in yet
aaaaaaah!
I try making a model last night but I had a problem making the model smooth. I used a poly cube got the overall shape use booleum function to make the holes on the cube. then I try smothing it but the model got all wacky. I play around with the setting but I still couldn't get the model smooth.

any idea why this happend?

I I had to increase the poly cound on the cube but couldnt do that after the booleum was done. I think a have to start all over.

I dont know how some of you guys post so many model. I dont have school anymore and I dont have kids. I do have a job tho.

well I'll try again when I get home. I get out at 9:30pm est.

[H2O-3DT]

"then I try smothing it but the model got all wacky"
Most likely its a broblem with verts overlapping or that your lines are not planar. Knowing how your subdivision tool works is also important. But hard too tell witouh a pic.. :)

[dotzro]

I'll post the pic when I get home

[Major Tom]

Modelling time: 36:00

There are some real nice models on this contest! Compliments to all of you! I have a nice idea for this weeks challenge, but I still didn't find the time to begin creating my idea. Hopefully I can post something tomorrow. I'm very curious who will be the winner of this week.

[Mistik]

[Bruth]

Oooooh, pretty

[kombi]

Mistik,
Nice models, and done in 40 minutes! Impressive!
Chris

[QuantumFoam]

Hate to be picky, but surely the fact that has wires attached means that its not remote? Maybe I'm wrong; good model anyway.

[RAL]

Cool concepts and some really good renderings dudes!

It makes my fingers tingling!
The more sickening it is that I probably won't have nough time to enter this weeks challenge = (

Keep on running! I enjoy looking at some nice pics =))

[Dutchman]

There are some really cool entries yet! By the way I really incredibly like the subject; this is really one in witch you have to put some cool modelling techniques! :)

Here my entry, it's a Remote Control made for Threedy / 3DT! :) :

- 3Ds Max 5.0
- VRay Free
- CorelDRAW 9.0 (for sketch textures & text add at finals)
- Photoshop 9.0 (minor grain added)

- Sketching : 30 minutes
- Modelling : 45 minutes
- Texturing : 4 houres
- Rendertimes are noted at the finals

First of all: click
HERE (http://members.lycos.nl/oldentower/bestanden/6_sketch.jpg) for that sketch.

I've done 5 renders but because I'm only allowed to post 2, I've hosted some at my own webspace. Click at the links under here to see the 3 other:

And the exploded clay one ;) ; hope you'll like them:

[kombi]

Here's a render of a clay I posted the end of last week. I've got no time to do any more, so here it is anyway.
It's a right-handed only remote, sorry left handers. (maybe just flip image horizontally )
Anyway, was done in XSI in about 40 minutes. Took about 10 minutes to add some basic materials and lights.

[kombi]

And here's another view

[aliased]

textured version of my clay

could not think of a decent texture so I went with this...

[H2O-3DT]

My third entry.

A Programmable remote with voice controll and camera.. :)

lol - the first website you find, just post a render of your remote control - could start an internet revolution :)

OK, I'll personally supply a prize (not saying what yet - depends what I can blag) to the forum member who manages to post a render of their remote in the most innapropriate and stupid forum/place (anywhere except here!!!!)- to qualify you must post a link to your efforts - not a screen grab :)

...Its a fair point QuantumFoam, but also a common misinterpretation of the phrase ' remote control'. For something to be controlled remotley it doesn't need to be cable free, it just needs to be ontrolled from a distance i.e radio signals, infa red, cables....
I think that when you here 'remote control' your mind automatically thinks of t.v remotes, painting a picture of wireless devices....easy mistake, it was the first thing that came to my mind.:)

[Orkron]

Let's not forget that Remote Controlled cars used to be attached by wires from car to controller.

The Cassini spacecraft is more than 22 feet high and more than 13 feet wide, not including its deployed boom and antennas. With the Huygens probe, it weighs about 6 tons.

Primary Mission: Four-year tour to study Saturn, its rings, moons and magnetosphere
Launch: October 15, 1997 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida
Arrival at Saturn: July 1, 2004 (Eastern time)
Distance Traveled: 2.2 billion miles (3.5 billion km)
Huygens probe Titan descent: January 14, 2005

Cassini-Huygens Mission Status Report
08.23.04
The Cassini spacecraft successfully completed a 51-minute engine burn that will raise its next closest approach distance to Saturn by nearly 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles). The manoeuvre was necessary to keep the spacecraft from passing through the rings and to put it on target for its first close encounter with Saturn's moon Titan on Oct. 26.
Engineers in Cassini Flight Operations are constantly busy-- regularly telling the spacecraft what to do, measuring its course and speed, making sure it's going where it's supposed to, as well as identifying and repairing any occasional glitches in the spacecraft or in the worldwide ground data system that keeps the spacecraft in touch with Earth.

Modelling: Rhino2 in 45Mins. Texturing: 3DSMAX3 in 2Hours. Lighting: 20Mins. Rendering: 30secs.

[Andy_k-3DT]

OK, I officially give up now !!!!!!!!

we are reaching the end of the 10th speed challenge.

1, The rules regading image posting have been the same throughout

2, The amendment allowing 2 posts per model has been in place for the last 4 weeks

3, We've spent most of the last few pages laughing at people who post their images incorrectly

Can anyone please explain why people like Mohammad can then enter their second model to the challenge and post FOUR 1100x900 images???????????????????????

Andy

[Androgs]

Hello invert,
The brief states :
"How you interpret the brief is up to you" and as the subject is "Remote Control" rather than "a remote control" I think that my model of the Cassini probe is fine - seeing that it is being controlled from 2.2 billion miles away!
To be honest though I didn't want to model a remote for this challenge as I'm a Industrial Design graduate and hence believe that any user interface must be properly designed and researched - I didn't have time to mess around with clay, blue-foam, rapid prototyping etc. :roll: - I'm not really interested in copying someone else's design either - especially seeing that all the ones I've got lying around at home are pretty dull.

[Funky Bunnies]

woa, nice job, all :D it appears they removed my picture....lol...

<<GhosTS>> - very nice Accenda, it's fantastic...I want to go cry in a corner now for my failure...lol good job, man

[L10N]

OMG.. this was fast :O

thanx for replying so fast with that info :D

anyway, it looks really crappy, I rushed too much.. waay too much :( too bad this could of been quite a good model (dont want to make a new one anymore). with a model like this, I'm sure I won't win.. was fun doing it tho :D havent modelled that fast (and bad) before.

just a few minutes, what a close one :D

ill be more active next time

[L10N]

cant edit, maybe it will change the post date :D

huntyri, ive got the same remote in my home :cool:

and looks like a cordless mouse has already been made..

idea for next challenge: "2 wheeled" (just s suggeston, im sure andy already has an idea of his own :halo: )

[Andy_k-3DT]

OK then guys, your time on this one is finished. It's been great fun. so let's continue this onto week 11's challenge which is now up and running.

We'll get on with the judging as soon as we can


Andy

[olympus]

[Mistik]

(based off mistics entry. Well done mistic! I had to give it a try, even though I don't do gaming and don't own, nor have I ever touched one of these controllers.)


CutCopyPaste your model is verry good, it's a great rezult. It's really hard do do a model after a thing that you dont have reference of especialy this one. I boroed the remote from a friend and I modeled it after that. Anyway its a job well done, keep it up!

[Viper0]

and the winners are.....

[Andy_k-3DT]

hold on guys, in case you don't all know it's been a holiday weekend here in the UK with the Monday also being a bank holiday and we all needed a break - we'll get on with the judging today.

Patience is a virtue

Andy

[misiopuchatek]

I know.
It was just to rock this place :D

Happy judging :halo:

[Viper0]

Without intention of offending or harassing, just to add a bit from life to this thread :D There is no hurry because about what it treats is enjoying modeling and learning.
I wish you have enjoyed the holidays ;)

[Andy_k-3DT]

due to me being very late posting the winners I'll just do a quick run through tonight.

I'll amend this post tomorrow and add the honorable mentions, but for the time being it's just the winners and runners up.

No proper links as yet, I'll get those sorted out tomorrow as well.

Three runners up this week
