Lol. had a go on that one on the projector challenge (http://forums.3dtotal.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=256806) :) And it was VERY fun to model!
But I guess mine was more a prop from the vintage "Golden-Age"Batman. Aa a few points were diffrent. I have alink to the refs back in that specific week.
I guess people just thought it was more a projector and didn't go for it. I really don't know. I hope it counts as it is very nicely modeled.

...had some trouble with the black shader, I just found out that black is not one of the best colors to use when rendering oh welllllllllllllllll.
On the contrary! A colour does not get any better than Black! :)
If you are to use a Lambert shader you are going to have problems with Black. especially if you happen to go for MaYA's own software rendering engine. (As I recall you work in MaYA)
In your specific case (black hard plastic) it is a better idea that you set a Phong or a PhongE and have the eccentricity either really roughened through the dials or have something like a Noise or Browian assighned to its specularity to get that feel.
In any case, to use Black as a lambert would possibly only be visible if you give a ramp to it's sampler-info(normals); add a translucency layer and depth; orasighn a subsurface scattering shader found from the net or somewhere.
Your details won't really show othrewise.

I hope you know that Black doesn't have all the answers... :)
Well for a very short breif I can tell you that almost nothing can be 'Simply' deleted from the hard disc.

You have to think of it like a peace of stone that you carve a relief out of. Even when you pick up the stone itself the stone has a texture on it. When you carve something onto it it carries your data. And when you have no more use for that reliefe the data is there until you write on top of it.
Same thing with the Hard disks as they come out of silicone production. They may make no sence but the data is there. And unless it is over-written; a deleted file is just a sector that you can write on top of.
So thats why there are evidence eliminators out there that set your deleted bytes to a row of 1's or 0's or a randome set.
And just like a broken off carved relief you can end up with forensic evidence that could give you an idea of the information before it was removed.. what could be called magnetically foced out data.

Now as for your case there is no way I can really help you without sitting in that seat you are sitting now and look into your computer (Nope can't work through remote access) You are going to have to try out a series of software. The cool thing is that you can download a Demo for one and repair it and get it over with.

The points that you have to watch out for is "how often did you use those sectors since the corruption?" Like if you tried to do some recovery prehand or a scan disc or I don't know a defragmentation. Then it is most probable that that information is too deformed for anything to be done with. In this level you can't really talk to your computer with a translator but maybe through a compiler. And very rarely is it work worth the time and efforts.

There is a great range of programs out there and I am even sure there are some freewares too (None that I know of yet)
You may want to try out Unistal (http://www.unistal.com/disk_repair.html) which also has a recovery program seperate (I note again first thing to do is to try to recovern BEFORE you repair... BEFORE you dfrag.. even before you clean out free space!)
Or something like BadCopy Pro (http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/?rid=overture&kid=oc0101) That I know has a free trial option... but I have no idea on the success in recovering as it is in repairing.
Your just gonna have to do a seriouse research on the net so you get the best of ideas.. On a matter such I find it better not to advise anything and carry the guilt on my conciouse.


Juha
You know I have made it a tradition to somehow compliment your entries as you post! :p
Much closer to your 'Juha Standards' this time. it is always fun to see your extremely clean models.
Good one!

Everyone
How on EARTH do you guys expect Andy to judge all of this?!! You had better do your BEST to stick to EVERY rule and also your best to have perfection for even being able to get an honourable mention!
Cause you can definately expect this weeks judging to be alot more strict!

You have all done FANTASTIC work!!

[the_jigu]

Black thanks for ur help!!! i really appriciate it.

well i did try with Best recovery software(name "Easy recovery tool").but i have no chance to recover from my HDD. As this happens second time to that HDD. now i m gonna completly buy new HDD tomorrow.

this kinda thing sometimes happens to make me very sad. but i fall down to be success.:) so i m not sad and will start new life with whatever i had.:)

[jone]

this is my 3 one
a quick one
max 7
9 min modelling
lights,mats, render 5min
rendering(default scanline as usual) 8min
but on the next one i'll take my time and concentrate
on the render and materials so i can make a good looking model

:D :D
but now i got to study for school:p :(

[otacon]

Nice models, elhefe, the_jigu, and n-e-gma. :D

[Mousek]

3djunior

Good lights.

[jdgill]

Great work everyone.

[Rooky]

New week - new challange!! I like it! :) Here I go with my "lamp". Who has said that traffic lights can't be used as a lamp?? NoOne! :) (used 3dsMax 5) Hope you'll like it.. :)

[jdgill]

I've seen them be sued as lights before:p

[Mousek]

Thnx forr the compliment Mousek:o :D. For most of the Models I put up there is only like one or two texture through out the whole model.

By the way...You got a ncie lamp yourself. Looks cool:D

[Mousek]

jdgill
----------
Thanx :o

[otacon]

Another.:D
Lightwave
50min model
10min texture

[jdgill]

lol, thnx for the nice replies Mousek :o, but there are plenty of guys here that have just as much a chance or more;) :p. Like otacon, he has a big chance of winning.

I would do a more formal looking lamp probally but I don't have the right textures to:p. I don't have a digi cam or photoshop so I can't make it eitehr.

[Mousek]

otacon
-------------
You are Boss! Very nice model.

[Nojoy]

Black you did this one already a while back for projectors, well i didnt know. Good idear :) I thought it would be a nice change for a spotlight, that is just a bit bigger than most. Wasnt that easy was it black, especially nailing the detail on it. Oh well

"if i wouldve known than what i know now"
"well now i know and knowing is half the battle"
;)

[Mousek]

[TORNADO]

I sugest that there have to be two different threads with the same theme but in the first one there will be people like Otacon.And in the other one people like me!
--------------------------------------
What I want to say is:
Wow great model Otacon

--------------------------------------

Mousek nice model too!


P.S

:D :D

[n-e-gma]

Last one for now :D

[lippe]

This is the first time I post something on a forum and hope it’s good enough. I use max normally just to render scenes and not for drawing although I would like to learn it more.

When my renders take to much time at work, I regularly take a look at your speed challenges. I find an interesting concept and because the topic this week is close to architecture I decided to give it a go. The lamp is an old idea I never finished as a student.

Keep up the good work.



modelling : 45 min
Texture : 5 min
Rendering: 15 min

and I used 3dmax

[lippe]

Oeps, sorry for that

[Mousek]

TORNADO
---------------
Thanx. You make another one.

[Rooky]

What??? And no one likes my traffic lights?? What a shame!!.. (I know they`re too good to be truth) :D

[fasth]

Cheers everyone!
As always, the images so far has been GREAT!
Even though, again as always, I have no chance of winning, it's still fun to submit the pics and maybe get some c&c's :)

Spent about 25 minutes doing the real modeling and then another 20 minutes just tweaking the details to get them a bit better.
Also the materials was kind of a pain in the ass, cause I couldn't decide what look I wanted :)
Went with this in the end:

Thanks guys for all the kind words. There are lots of people here who have high chances of winning.
Nice one fasth!

That's too bad H20. I just got over a nasty cold/flu myself. Hope you feel better soon and can lay out some more wonderful models.

(Hehe...My doctor says an ego boost also boosts the immune system's efficacy ;))

BingBong_Brad, beautiful man, very nice.

I actualy had to modle the lamp that yours is based off of, and the celing lamp that went with it for my job :D

[nicktg]

Here`s a small halogen office lamp.
It took 50 me minutes to model and another 30 to do the textures. Made and rendered in 3ds 5. Thing is it has to compete against some pretty impressive stuff, well done everyone!

[NeonLeopard]

Ok! My second entry. Just a standard table lamp! done in NURBS by lofting splines. Thats only the second time i've ever used nurbs.
I spent about two hours trying to make a gold texture but just gave up in the end and stuck with clay!

Software: Maya 6.0
Modelling: 55 minutes

Can anyone pint me to any free gold shaders or a good tutorial please. T'wood be very handy! Thanks

[fasth]

Otacon:
Thank you very much

Nicktg:
That model looks great!
Love the design :D

/////--

Soooo, here's my second entry. Didn't have anything to do so I thought I'd might just as well submit a second one :)
Quite similiar design as my last one, but I like it anyway :)

[Technographer]

My first submission to the Threedy speedy competitions; I think I did well for the time allowed.

3dsm 7 - Mental Ray

Good luck to everyone.

[elhefe]

Another quick one just for fun

software : Maya6
modeling : 12 min
texturing/lighting : 20 min

Nojoy, Jm3D, Otacon Thanks for the complements :!!!:

O kool! But it's been too long for me to remember which lamp you're reffering too...Can you remind me?

"if i wouldve known than what i know now"

;)
Oh no I had not really meant it to sound like "hey I have done it and I was first" or anything...
I honestly had enjoyed modeling it. The way everything is in a center mas that you don't have to browse around for, And the manner most everything was able to be handled through extursions... For short it was really fun.
I guess another reason that I liked it so much was because the previouse model I had done was an R2.. okey okey.. the model I TRIED to do and failed extremely. You could always browse back on the competitions and see the works of many that have been here since even the first.

Having this said, I hope you enjoyed modeling the it as much as I did, since I have my doubts that it can make it to the title as a "lamp"n as good as it may be modeled.

[the_jigu]

gr8 model from everyone specially H2O,bully,n-egma,elefee and ofcourse otacon(who alwyas comes with r8 models)


modelling time : 60 mins;
modelling technique used: low poly,chamfering,boolean,bridging polys,symmetry(gr8 modifier), etc etc.

rendering time : 3 min.
rendered with mental ray;(it has gr8 power than all of those stupid renderer).

[otacon]

Nice model the_jigu, the shade looks rushed though.:)

[the_jigu]

Thanks otacon!!!:)

[daneel_olivaw]

wow! excellent images!,

ive never posted my stuff in a forum, and well here it goes...
i tried a different aproach: its a natural lamp...

im using 3dsmax6 (scanline, no fancy renderers this time)
i spend 47 minutes in the model
and a lot more texturing and completing the scene...

i would like to hear some feedback

[Orkron]

daneel_olivaw, my daughter loves Finding Nemo, so I've seen that movie dozens of times too....Good job, very unique idea for this challenge!

[curka]

i can see some excellent models here. good work every one.
i did another one. the modelling time was some 40minutes but setting up the materials and lighting (hdri) took me ages (1 or 2 hours!), but mostly because of software problems. i'm really glad i could finish it anyway :)
hope u like it!

[JacksonEmpire]

Hello this is the first time that i have entered this competition thought i would give it a go! Hope you like my light bulb!

Black : thanks... nice you like my clean models....

jacksonempire.. really nice
sniper... great bulp


my third one... ikea lamp...

[Destroythenseek]

Hey guys I've been so curious lately on how you make the lighbulbs light settings...

For example, in my model all I did was make the illumination of my white lightbulb 100... and then I added an omni by the lights.
Is that how it is done... or is there a better solution?

[lippe]

I was bored so I made an other lamp to learn modelling in 3dsmax

modeling 37 min
texture and ligths 20 min
render 15 min

[Mousek]

This lamp Is very very bad :grr:

[Desperado]

Hi there

Ive been watching these challenges for some time now and finally decided to register and give it a try.

This is just an old lamp that i found in the living room :D
Unfortunately, there was no time left to finish all the details.
I have added a Detail shot in the entry picture, i hope this is allowed?!

Cinema 4D R9 XL
Modelling about 55 minutes
Texturing & Lighting about 10 minutes, only 2 shaders and a random hdri
The render took about 2 minutes, and the detail shot about 5 minutes

btw: that is no mesh error in the wireframe, thats because i had to reduce quality to make the picture fit in the rules ;)

so here it is:

[Vizualizer]

Modeling ~ 30 Minutes in Truespace
Texturing and rendering C4D Demo version ~ 40 minutes
1 point light to brighten up the scene.
a bit tuning in Photoshop 10 Minutes

all together 1 hour 20 minutes, is it okay for here ?

[flablam]

This is my very first entry, hope everything is right.

[TORNADO]

Hi this is my second entry.I hope you will like it.Very very nice models every1.A lot work for Andy.

@Mousek you have great entries!

Technographer- Haha, yeah. Some really good quality models here

[Diabolos]

Thank you for the tips, Black.................yes you have a good memory. MAYA is my poison - waiting for 6.5 to arrive (maybe Friday).

[delioncourt16]

hi there this is my second post as a 1 month old newbie modeler.:D

its pretty simple....and not much details.

i recently acquired 3dsmax7 and am still fiddling around with it, luckily Gmax is almost the same as 3dsmax7.

anyways, ive only startedmodeling a month back and so i havent gotten into texturing and lighting yet.

so hopefully for my second post i'd be able to incorporate textures and lights.

btw hi and thanks to AzoiC and inspired for helping me out in my previous post.

[Modig]

My second entry to the speed modelling challenges. Didn't have time for last weeks helmet challenge but this time I promised myself to do one! As usual, I try to make something original and surrealistic.

This is my excavalamp. I hope you can see the connection between an excavator and one of those classical desktop lamps(see vladoportos model). Unfortunately I did not have time to do the springs for the lamp which makes the connection a bit harder to see.

I understand if my submission is disqualified for being too far off topic.

Time: 57 minutes
Software: Maya 6

[DESPISTADO]

pagoda lamp

3ds max 7

This is a remake of my daughter's Jasmine lamp in her room...
She wasn't too keen on my taking it into the office :D, but I
shut her up with some ice cream so I could get the job done hehe.
Done in 50 minutes

Despistado, i was searchin google for referance images, and i was about to do that lamp, but you did it much better than i could, so i think ill find another.

really nice model.

[deadplant155]

Here's the lamp i have in my living room. I'm glad i got some time to do a more detailed lamp than my last one, hope you like it.

modeling 50 minutes maya 6
texturing + render + composition 40 minutes

p.s.
watch out for dancing bananas

hi everyone!
i used 3d max 6
it took 38 minutes to model
another 9 minutes to apply texture
and video post rendering was done within another 48 seconds :)

[Orkron]

Hey ram, your image isn't showing probably because it exceeds the forum's 100k max file size. Try reposting it with an image less than 100k

I would have great use for it in my pipeline; but I have invested too much on a variaty of softwares 'MaYA dependent'.
And until the most of them upgrade their compatability I doubt I will concider affording an upgade.
I am sure you'll model faster now though.

& BTW, you might want to set your software used in your entries from now on. Infact maybe it's a god idea to go back and edit the rest of your entries. It is a rule.

[evil-98]

got another quick one i did

modeling: 11 min
texture: 9 min
render: 4 min
software: 3dsmax 7

:dance:

[n-e-gma]

the_jigu,

can you tell me how you made the twisted thing at the bottom on your lamp posted at page 21? :roll:

I've been trying diferent methods but it just wont come out right :grr:

[delioncourt16]

nothing much to do so here is another lamp from that one month newbie modeler.

its a solar system lamp....take note i only did 3 planets because doing all 9 would take me past the 60 minute mark.

oh and one error.....in case you guys didnt notice immediately, the red planet?....its suppose to be the earth and not mars. i got all confused with the order of the planets.

M-y
V-ery
E-ducated
M-other
J-ust
S-howed
U-s
N-ine
P-lanets

hehehe. feel free to comment.

[the_jigu]

hey n-e-gma that's quiet easily done!!!

i got idea from tutorial that hosted by "3dTOTAL"(gr8 lovely site:) i daily visit)

Behind the Portrait of Dorian Grey" by Marek Denko ---------check out this tutorial in project overview section.
he explained tricky use of "symmetry modifier.

cheers:) if u still don't get me!!! i will show u how i done it.this last 4 lamps done on my brother's pc.so they r alright.:)

jigu.

[jone]

hey ram show your picture
it looks promecing:)

[the_jigu]

here is the very quick one!!!

modelling time : 42 mins;
modelled in 3ds max 7;
rendering time : 1min with mental ray.

[shrey]

Hi,
this is my first entry in a contest.
Modelling : 45-50 min
Texture : 5 min
Render : 10 - 20 sec

[tojo]

Hi!

I´ve been on the background for a long time, and decided that it is time that I contributed something to this challenge also.

So here is my entry, a Philips heat lamp that I have in my home, hope you like it.

Its modeled in just under 1hour, but the pre-work took me a lot longer, because I wanted to model it in 1:1...

[juha]

hello Tojo. nive to hear from you.. long time no see...
really nice lamp you have made...
cool

[tojo]

thx juha, actually its an old one, but it IS modeled in less than an hour.

I´ve seen a lot of good models from u too.
Keep up the good work!:)

[ram]

hi everyone!
i used 3d max 6
it took 38 minutes to model
another 9 minutes to apply texture
and video post rendering was done within another 48 seconds :)

[Sniper]

Thanks for your coments Mousek, Technographer, the_jigu, juha.

My lamp was realy easy so I had about 30 min left for the bulb si I went into detail.

I have no idea how some people find time to make so many models for this.. Good work all round.. to many good ones to mention names.. I noticed Evil-98 just posted his 74th model for this week...:p

Great work everyone keep the pics coming..:)
I got some new software so im going to play now..:D


Luke....

[ram]

hi orkron!
thanx. i thought it was not shown only in my browser since it was slow... i have reduced it to 640x480 and posted. thanx again :)

[Syfox]

hey theres some awesome models, but i have to say, u all suck cos i wanted to see a ufo lamp with the fibre optics, as im too crap to do it myself, i was hoping sum 1 would make 1 if i posted this. u dont really suck, all the posts have been sweet

[Dr. Gonzo]

Hi everyone, this lamp use to be my grandmothers and now it's standing in our livingroom. A good time to make a 3D model of it.

I used 3D MAX R6, 52 minutes to model, 0 minutes texturing and 3 minutes rendering.

[jm3d]

Here is my first model, it was hard. I wish I could have added some more details to it :grr: .
modelling 60 mins
texturing 5 mins
rendering 15 min.

I have seen so many amazing models. This contest is better every week. Good job everybody. :D

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

So many great models... I just had to submit another. Here we go...

3D Studio Max 6, 60 mins modelling, 30 mins texturing, a few minutes for rendering (I don't remember how long... :( ):

Edit: I just noticed that my top wireframe was semi transparent... hehe. All fixed now. :roll:

[SithLord_Steve]

I couldn't resist entering this one....more for a lark than anything. Be sure to read the warning! :D

Software used: Max 7, Photoshop.

Model Time: 15 minutes
Three point lighting no Advanced lighting: 2 minutes
Textures: Under 2 minutes (just used Max defaults mostly)

[Trilz]

WOW I think I'll just sit this one out,
theres so many good entries to go through already.:)

[deadplant155]

i dunno, maybe i'm being just a little bit too picky....but is a light'saber' really a lamp?.... i mean if flashligts aren't considered lamps....but maybe that's just me.

[UnNamedD342]

Just another lamp, nothing special

Modeling: 25 min
Texturing: 40 min, love to goof around with HDRI!

Nice job everyone! :)

[kenkuru]

just a quick one for starters :) max 6 ~37 min modling, no texturing. Not enough time for now, but i'll be back with something better before time runs out ;)

Trilz...You should do an entry anyway. It's fun, refreshing and you learn alot from it :)

Wonderful models and designs! Awesome works, won't point anyone out...there's just too many great ones :)

cheers

[H2O-3DT]

Barks
Thank you. :) I am spending the day at home, still sick. :(
But at least i have had time to catch up on some work.. and get some speeding in. :)

3DMax
modelling time - 60 minutes.

[Jonssen]

kenkuru:
Hey guy... very good model! But, isn't it a little... let's say... dangerous? Haha, I'd like to buy it, but there are children here. Good work! :)

[deadplant155]

Hey H20, nice model. I was just curious, is it splines? or is it polys with isoline display for the wire? i especially like the fingernails.

[3D ShaDES]

my ideea:

3ds max 6 - 45 min.
rendering - 10 min (mentalray)

[H2O-3DT]

[Rooky]

Hello! Here I go again!.. Have you ever seen a lamp like this?? I hope not!! :D
I modelled all 60 min and even then I ran out of time!! So the bulb isn't so perfect and the textures are a bit unclear but I hope you will understand what I wanted to say with this image!!! LET'S STOP THE WAR !! :D

[juha]

kenkuru.. really nice one...
h2o yours too..
too many models to mention....
all so damn good....
Sha thanks for your addvises..
Black. ill try to keep them clean....again
sorry for my so tiny wire picture... need more space....

so here one more... and now ill have to step back for a while.. few weeks i quess.. so damn much things to do , mostly school work,, but well.....i know that you all keep this thing goin on.....

Rhino and max again..

hope you like it ......'

good luck to everyone...

[kenkuru]

Jonssen...thanks for a nice comment :) Yes, it could be a little dangerous come to think of it. Perhaps it should be sold with a safety-plug :D

juha...thanks mate and cool work as usual from you too. clean models and very nice rendering :) Don't be gone for too long. we all want to see your models ;)

[juha]

thanks kenkuru.. nope. im not gonna be away long...
have to finish some stuff and find that "työharjoittelupaikka " Aprentenceship for 5 months...seems that it is allmost impossible to get one from finland ........

[Renz]

This is Indian traditional Oil lamp which varies in sizes from 6 inches to 5 feet. It is made of cast bronze, hand lathed and can be disassembled for cleaning and polishing. This lamp is lighted at the beginning of a function for, light directs us in right the direction.
The lamp can be assembled in such a way that it can be made either tall or short. It can be hung with a chain too. This traditional lamp always fascinated me from my childhood.

Real nice models this week too.. some good lighting / renders too.

good luck to everyone...:)

[RockstarKate]

It's my first time entering one of these things... definitely not my last! What a great way to procrastinate from modelling things for homework assignments!
Anyway, this is a lamp thats sitting on my table.
3DS Max 6
Modelling: 45 min
Texturing and lighting: 30 min
Rendering: default scanline, <15 sec
Fun!

[vidiot]

So many good lamps out here - you guys modeled the whole IKEA catalogue... ;)

Lamps are not my kind it seems...
But i posting it regardless of that.

Modeling the body in Truespace ~ 20min
Modeling the feet in AOI
Texturing under 15 min (exept the blue plastic :eek: )
Rendering 20min for the main pic, 40 min with Photon mapping
and 18 min. with GI (down right corner)

Photopainting 10min.

[Duck Hunter]

Hi, :wave:this is my first post here. It is a mushroom lamp of my own design. I modeled it with 3d Studio Max,and it took me 45 minutes! And it was lit and renderd in about an hour.

C&C Welcome

[LESTAT]

nicely done renz .

here's another fast one , got bored a lil , comin with a better one before this ends

max 7 model
20 mins
textured in 5 mins
rendered in 2 mins

[roman jr.]

their is some really amazing work for this challenge, nice job everybody.

ok, so on page 17 i posted just a quick GI render of my model.
i used max 6 to model and Final Render Stage 1 for the textures and rendering. i finaly got a chance to play around with the sss in Final Render S1, so i hope everyone likes it.
the longest render was about 20 mins.

[Ger22]

Here's my attempt for this week.

Modeling - 1 hour in Max 6

Texturing & Lighting 30 minutes

Rendered with FinalRender - 4 minutes

[LESTAT]

i think that maybe the last one for this week from me . it was fun . and awesome models everyone .

max 7 model
modelled in 25 mins
textured in 10 mins
rendered in 3 mins

[Viper0]

My second entry this week, I modelled it following a google picture as reference, it's an old castle lamp.

Modeled in 57 min in 3DSmax 5
Textures, lights, and setup render, about... :roll: 12 hours... I know, to much time, but work with v-ray it's a little complicated for me, and my computer dont' helps me :D

Good luck to everyone! very nice models.

[jone]

nice models from everybody
good job!
can't wait to see what next challange wiil be all about!
keep them coming andy:D :D :D

[ckyuk]

I've only been using max for about a week but i thought these speed modelling challenges would be a good way to improve workflow a skills.

15 mins 3ds max

[LightX01]

Here is my contribution.

Made in 3ds max 4.3 total time 30 min.

[mr_lemon]

just a quick one,i've maded many other lamps,hope to have the time to post these

45 min all in max

[the_jigu]

hello everyone good models coming from everyone so far.

as n-e-gma asked me to show how i done the lower part of page 21's lamp model.
well i would gladly like to show with that model.but as my pc is slow(amd sempron :( ) and also i have done boolean operation on that model.(it took my 5 mins to be done).

here r links of some screenshots i taken.

http://jigu.actkid.com/image/tut1.jpg
http://jigu.actkid.com/image/tut2.jpg
http://jigu.actkid.com/image/tut3.jpg
http://jigu.actkid.com/image/tut4.jpg
http://jigu.actkid.com/image/tut5.jpg

well i showed it on my last blue color lamp model.

i first detach some polys as clone object.than extruded and made simple object;then aligned the pivot point of that "object" to the pivot point of that middle main cylinder object.now here comes the tricky use of symmetry modifier.i added above the messmooth modifier.rotated the gizmo of symmetry modi.do this process until u get the ring of that only one object.then apply the twist modifier at the top of the stack.choose Y axis to get object twisted.so that;s it. symmetry is more useful than that "lathe" modifier.

BTW , i will never do any boolean operation in future in any speed challange.because of it tooks my so time to be done for " page 21" model.:(

i hope n-e-gma and others can get me what i want to say.

excuse my bad english.

jigu.

[the_jigu]

here is very quick one from me;

modelling time: 17 mins;
rendering time: 1 min(rendered with mental ray:))
modelled with splines,edit poly in 3ds max7:)

[raven2k4z]

Just wanted to make another model for this week, so here goes.
Model: ~25 min with Max
Render: About...to damn long... :P My computer is...weak...

[Isavedlatin]

Jigu, thanks very much for that "tutorial." It helped me out alot, i was actually about to ask someone how that was done when i saw your post.

anyway, thanks again.


great models everyone

[talater]

Here's a quickie to warm up... I hope to have some time to do another one for this challenge.

[Mousek]

mr_lemon
---------------------------
You have perfect lamp and it is win! I lose :)

[jdgill]

Here is my 4th entry

Modelling time: 35 mins
Texturing Time: 15 mins
Software: Truespace 3.1

I went for a modern look like all of my other lamps.

[Orkron]

I think I've seen enough lamps to last a lifetime...I hope the next challence offers more variety to the subject...I feel totally burned out on lamps...I sat in fron of my max UI for 20 minutes last night and nothing came to me...Of course with the exception of the last lamp I did, they've all been from my imagination, not pictures. I could have come up with more if I just copied what i saw...Good work from everyone this week...truly nice models from some.

[jdgill]

Orkron: Just like make a really cool character..then have a lightbulb come outta his or her head:p . Or make a sweet car...then have a light shooting outta it:p.

[raven2k4z]

H20, I like that "hand on the wall lamp" of yours...That was actually my first idea for this challenge, but I just can't model hands! :S
It's like a mental defect for me... :P

[n-e-gma]

the_jigu ....

Thank you very much for sharing your technique. I really apreciate it :D

[KevinJW]

The wireframe doens't have the cord because I forgot to add it when I took the picture so I had to go back and add it. And it was pointless to get the wireframe picture again with just a extra thing added.

[kenkuru]

Here's another one from me. It's supposed to be some kind of arrows holding the structure. Max 6 60 min modling and some 45 min texturing.

Great works people :)

[TORNADO]

Great model kenkuru.But mine is better.This is the hardest model int he world.Took me more than a minute to model it.More then 20 sec to render it!And I used all my skills in Max 5.1 to do it.I don't hope I know you will like it!:D :D :D :D :D

[Kaze_SR]

I was supposed to put 3 of them on the rail but with the program i m using, it s a bit hard to duplicate the whole lamp cause you have to make new parts and move them individualy...

Modeling : 60 min
textures and lights : 45 min
programs: CATIA 5 v13 and Photoshop

[Kaze_SR]

Since I dont have the internet at home ( and I m not kidding ) I did the last 2 at home and submited them at a friend s place at the same...

Modeling : 50 min
Textures and lighting : 45 min
Programs : CATIA 5 V13 and Photoshop

Very hard competition, which is nice cause it pushes me to try harder... good luck everyone

[H2O-3DT]

3DMax.
Time 60 min.

[vidiot]

Kaze_SR,

- cool use of catia as mentioned one thread ago!
I assume you use it also on a proffessional /daily basis?
(But for different purpose, I guess) :D

Nice!

Been there too Kaze...I've had comp weeks where I submitted 2 or 3 at the same time because I couldn't afford internet at home...So I'd burn 'em all to cd and go to Circuit City and piggyback their wireless network from the parking lot...stupid fools don't even lock down their wireless network...So I'd be sitting in my car on my laptop submitting my renders :D

[sivupersoona]

My 1st entry ever. Just wanted to get something finished.

Blender 2.36 & Photoshop 6
modelling 40-50 mins
materials/lights ~40mins
rendering (1280x1024) ~10 mins

[Mousek]

I enjoy on next topic.

[kenkuru]

tornado...Yep, that one rulez!! :D

welcome aboard sivupersoona ;)

[Vhector]

My post.
It's a street lamp based of Schouwburgplein Rotterdam (picture left/below).

The lamp is adjustable with a remote controle, the joints are pneumatic.
Put the streetlamp in a scene I'm working at on the moment. Lamp is modelled in 45 min.

It's not as beautiful as most of the others, but it's again a learning edition for me.

Hey... I surprised myself, I actually had time to do two images for this challenge. And I think this one turned out better then the first.

A banker's lamp:

[Ratpouch]

Heres mine for this week, a simple little lamp post scene.

Software – 3DS Max 5, PhotoShop 7,
Modelling – 57 minutes,
Lighting – 5 minutes (Light Tracer),
Rendering – around 20 minuets.

Again theres some really impressive models this week, goodluck everyone!

[e=mc^2]

hi everybody I,m just a beginer in 3d worlds ;) and this is my first challenge, i didn't know that speed challenge is so exciting ;) - I think that speed challenges will be my new hobby ;)
my lamp is almost done

modelling: 60min.
software: houdini apprentice version

cheers

[noouch]

Looking excellent so far... Here's my first (and maybe only) entry:

A lamp powered lamp! The kerosene lamp generates heat to make steam with the water dripped out from the water tank. The steam heats the lava lamp to make the wax melt. (Whoops, where's that light coming from?)

Modelling: 54 minutes
Materials: 15 minutes
Render: 3 hrs. 26 mins.
Post in Photoshop: 2 minutes

[Isavedlatin]

noouch! thats a great idea, getting two lamps in one post.

Nice model and render.

[n-e-gma]

Ok....

I need a favor from all of you.....

I need you guys to lend me all your lamps......

What for, you may be asking yourselves?

Simple, i was reading the SSS in mental ray documentation in max 7 and i gotta tell you, i've never read, in my entire life, anything so, so, so dark and obscure. :grr:

I mean, come the F*** on, its like, ok you have mental ray, one of the best render engine, but we wont tell you how to use it. :grr: Its like they dont want you to do anything with it.

Argh!! :grr:

Any of you by any chance have done anything with SSS in mental ray?

[Orkron]

This (http://www.lamrug.org/resources/doc/sss-physical-tutorial.pdf) pdf tutorial looks VERY detailed, good luck.

[the_jigu]

N-e-gma : hahahaha...:p :p

hey thanks orkron!!! u r very nice man!!!

i have just downloaded all ur HDRI. and also downloading this tut now.

As being a mental ray lover, i haven't learned it all.still learning.and never tried SSS in mental ray.As i knew only about it that mental ray has gr8 control over bitmap images for lighting and material purpose.

BTW, orkron i like ur idea about how u used wireless network.:D:D

thank you again.:)

jigu.

[DESPISTADO]

hi n-e-gma, first of all you must know some basic stuff about sss, what is subsurface scattering? well all none metallic material are translucent in some degree, this mean that light scatter inside the material before being either absorbed or leaving the material at a different location, when an object is hitting by a light source from behind object you can see easily the sss phenomenon but if the source light is in front of the object the translucency effect reduces significantly. remember if the object have parts more thin than other that thin part will be more visible to translucent, ok with this we can work in mental ray, its pretty simple for test we only need use 3 parameters go to material editor and pick "sss fast material" create a teapot and put a light behind, look the image, the names of the parameter dont need explanation, scatter radius control the distance of the sss the rest of parameters is explained by itself, there is more parameter but they are more advanced and require more explanation, hope this help you.

best regards

and N-e-gma, as per always "I'm happy to help" :D

[raven2k4z]

Soon this challenge will be over, well this week anyhow... I won't have time to make another one, but there have been so many great models this week... Good luck to all!

[the_jigu]

last one!!!

modelling time : 45 mins;
rendering time : 2 min with mental ray
modeled in 3ds max 7

what ya think about this?

[the_bully]

:D :D

You know everyone here at first started to go HDRI
crazy using it in like every image,Now its all about SSS.All a little late these things have been around for a while.

so to get the ball rolling and up to speed

"HSphSubD"

we should all us that

:p

[noouch]

FYI: The wax in my lava lamp is not SSS, and I did not use a HDR image for lighting or backdrop :D

Concerning SSS in Max or Maya

n-e-gma - this tutorial will show you the steps for SSS inisde of Max i found it a while ago and was sad because i used maya, it even provides the scene for you. Easy to compare to your work, and troubleshoot better.
http://www.3d-palace.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2863

For the Maya users look into this one here for instance, there are many tuts to be found for google on SSS and Maya, here a start.
http://test.jzinfo.com/

[Black]

Lol Nojoy.. With the variaty of links you are now bringing in and the 'Good' that Orkron has become..
I am assured that all the needs I full-fill are well covered! :)
(As unmodest as that sounded)

Thanks for the links again (this time for the forum); Doesn't Papa have a tut on SSS yet?

I remember the days we went crazy trying to get the look of a glass of milk that was the closest practice to 'skin' that we could think of. Now it's everywhere!

[shamohan]

Dear Friends


It was a nice modelling challenge, hope you all enjoyed this, recently all the modelling competition giving chances for all new comers, and beginners in modelling.

Hope all enjoyed this


Let us wait for the another speed modelling challenge,



Thanks for every one, and all those who conducted this speed modelling challenge



Good luck



Sha

[andoy]

There will always be a place for you Black...and no one else posts such descriptive and interesting reading with their entries.
I agree though that this forum is one of the best that i've come across for helpful replies, in the sense that you are not waiting for days for an answer to a question.
No wonder it's going from strength to strength, what with all the helpful people here and the great/ varied topics each week.
I didn't enter this week but i have been following none the less.

[jone]

come on !
i want a new challange!
with more diversity(and more challenging):)

[shamohan]

Hi friends


I think the time is over


so i wish to express my sincere thanks to JUHA who advise me a lot, and thatnks for every one participate here

You always manage to flatter me Andoy :)
Though I can always provide contact to those that wish to keep in touch. My modeling challenge days are really over.
My last entry post WAS my last entry ... and not just for last week.
I had ALOT of fun and some intresting models I wouldn't model in any other situation!
And ever better everything looks at it's peek.
What a better time to leave of and involve myself with other matters?

Hi

Thanks Black


I was looking for your submission, but it was not there,

"The time is over" i think i made a mistake with my time, any way i will correct it.


Thanks a lot, and hopefully there will be another great work from you



Good luck

I'll miss ur posts Black, i liked reading them :) (and ur cool models)

We'll, heres my model

Modelling- 15 mins in c4D making the frame. I included the fluid (sun thing)
in the modelling time, that took 30mins to look ok.

Texturing- just over 10mins, included the fluid texturing in the modelling time.

Rendering- 30mins

Software- C4d for the frame, Maya for the fluids and Mental ray for the render

......its a sad day for the speed modeling challenge, even though i just started 3 challenges ago, and i already grew to love Blacks work here on 3D total. Im almost crying here folks. Im ...:eek:

Good luck on your Adventures Black nevertheless, hope to one day be able to compete against you again. Email me whenever you like for whatever you may need.

[vladoportos]

did i miss something ? Black is leaving ???? why ? Nooooooooo

[jdgill]

Why are you leaving Black!?!?!?!?

[raven2k4z]

Yeah, sure been nice knowing you Black, have a nice life.

But things will go on, and soon it's time for another week of speed modeling! Go go go

[Renz]

Hi! Hurricane Lantern from me.
I have been seeing nice models this week

good luck to everyone. :)

[Mousek]

:o my beatiful lamp

[Barks]

I am saddened to hear that you are leaving Black. As thus, the Black side is depleted and can no longer continue as it once was. The powers of the White side will once again control the forums.

But seriously now, I think I speak for myself and everyone in saying that you will be sorely missed. If ever you wish to return, you know that the forums will take you back into their electronic bosom in an instant.

Be thee well Father, and good luck in your ventures.

[ravenlp]

quick lamp...done in an effed up maya 6 in 20 minutes or so...

not a winner, but I felt the need to make something

[Black]

Gee :o

Woow thanks everybody!. I am really lost for words

Had I known it would be reacted to such... I would have stopped loong ago.

Actually I had set in my Entry post that it was my last. But since I wasn't too sure then, I guess I hadn't wanted to make it any bit clearer.

I have my own reasons. And of most important is the time I need for other things.

The forum and you guys are great. And my not attending will be far from any loss! I may not attend any longer.. but I probably will end up paying a visit now and then to disturbing you all!

In any case... there are many forums that I 'Tut' in.. you can most possibly find me again being a know all in one of them!
Soo will be seeing you around!

Black!

Ps Barks... There is a Black in everyone... it shall never die.. just fade a little. then darken once again!

[Andy_k-3DT]

OK folks, deadline reached and challenge 34 up and running

Great entries (again) and so many of them :)

Hi all, nice models you have!

Here is my "swanish" desk lamp little late. I also couldn't finalize it in an hour so you can can freely disqualify me from the competition. However i wanted to post it here just for fun :). I worked on it for one evening. I'm not a pro yet so it took me longer to finish something.

Software used: 3ds max 7

Modeling, texturing and rendering: several hours.

I couldn't totally remove the green spots caused by Mental Ray's Global Illumination. I tweaked the settings very long. If somebody knows possible reason I would appreciate help.

Here goes....

[noouch]

That's okay, it would have been disqualified anyway, deadline's reached :D

[altokhan]

WELL , HERE IS MINE ... is it too late to be judged ??

[LESTAT]

now, now ... whats all the chaos about " Black " leavin ??? and tornado asks why " Black was LIVING ? " :D ( lmao ) ... well i think a poem is well overdue for Black .

" Black " by Pearl Jam

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Ooh and all I taught her was everything
Ooh I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning
Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away...
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned the world to black .
