speed modelling challenge week 33 - lamp

[Andy_k-3DT]

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. Please post only one image per entry with a maximum file size of 100k and with the maximum dimensions of 800x600. This image should include at least one wire frame view of your finished model. Posts with multiple renders of the same object will be deleted.

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


8, No external links to pictures, they must be attached using the browse button and be no larger than 800x600 pixels and 100k. Any pictures larger than this or links will be removed as soon as we see them and the poster will be disqualified immediately

prizes of a 3D Total texture CDs to the best entrants. We'll judge it to avoid the voting process getting too complicated and winners will be notified by an announcement in the thread once judging is complete.

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

deadline - 22.00 GMT Wednesday 9th February 2005

modelling time - 60 minutes

subject - lamp

This weeks subject whilst not neccessarily easier is another that can be approached from so many directions and at so many levels we think everyone has a chance.

It doesn't have to be any particular type of lamp it can be a floor mounted standard lamp, an angle poise, desk lamp etc etc etc - your call, make it interesting



good luck and have fun

Andy

yeah I know - I'm racing to meet a deadline for a client tonight - that one literally took 10 minutes from start to finish (including the radiosity calculations) I'll come back to it and re texture/re render later in the week when I have a little more time

Again. The winners will be posted sometimes around the start of the NEXT challenge (week 34). Andy has a lot of work to do and cannot be expected to get the results right away. Isn't this in the rules?

[Isavedlatin]

soo.... i was half way through modelling a lava lamp when i checked back to find that it had been done..... twice..... So i guess ill scrap that. I think a lot of people had that idea.

eitherway, good models actionbob and barks.

[UncleMoe]

Modelling time: 1 hour in 3ds Max 6

This is my first entry in months, but I just happened to have an oil lamp sitting around the house and couldn't pass it up. Also gave me a chance to play around with mental ray which I've never really used before.

[Nojoy]

Here is my starting lamp, for warm ups.

Modelilng Time - 35 min.

Hi =D i always watch these challenges but never enter cause i am very new to this and am scared. :o but i have a Push light in my room and figured i would be able to do it =D when i have time i will texture it and make it look pretty :cool:

[AzoiC]

Holy cow.. so many lamps already.. this is tough.. (not the modeling but the creativity/variety).. need to really think about this now.. see a lot have come out with same ideas.. this time kinda busy so maybe i'll post my lamp/lamps towards the end of the comp.. by the way i feel this challenge will come up with more creative touches and a lot of glow effects :D

EDIT: oh ya n lots of lathe! :p

[Barks]

Woo! Guess who found some free time between school, texas hold'em poker, and more school? Me! Here's my second lamp...more of a traditional one you'd find in grandma's basement.

Just because something's been done doesn't mean you can't do it. With a topic like this there are only so many ways to do something. I encourage you to give it a shot. Hell...Yours might blow the other two out of the water. And thank you by the way. :D

[Orkron]

55 minutes in max 6
few minutes post-work in photoshop
5 minutes texturing
15 minute render.

[Dookie 3000]

Hello everybody.

impressives lamps i see right now :eek:

well, i dont know if this lamp works for the challenge, but anyway i like and i hope like to you too. :o

i used very basics materials of 3dmax and i modificated a litle bit no more.

About

- 30 minutes for modeling
- 30 minutes for textures
- 1 minute for light settings, only a skylight

Software: 3d max 6

used default max renderer.

[adamos]

Program Max 6.0
All take me some thing about 40 min.

[TORNADO]

Darn you vlad I wanted to do that!:grr: :grr: :grr:
I'll try to do it anyway!
NICE TOPIC!

[rado]

Hi guys. Here is my first speed chalenge entry. Hope you like it :D


modeling - 60min

3ds max 6.0 - brazil renderer
rendering - about 3 minutes

[the_jigu]

okei here is my simple entry.

BTW nice subject Andy. i think i can model lava lamp this week.(if got time.)


modelling time : 30 mins;
modelled in 3ds max 7; 2 min rendering time with default scanline renderer.

[andoy]

Gonna try and get my head around True space this week so i might have a few posts later on if i get time.

It's looking like another great challenge again already ..

Andy: i'm going to be trying your tutorial soon so keep a look out for my e-mails if i get stuck, the interface does seem weird after using only max and auto cad before.
And in answer to your reply last week i do know the goose fair site yes, i used to do quite a bit of drinking round that area a few years ago. I was born in Rainworth and spent most of my life in Farnsfield near the white post, so just down the road from Arnold really.

[adamos]

And another one.
time to make it some thig like 30 min.

[TORNADO]

Demolus your model is great but you have to attach it not give link to it!

Now that's bad!

[Smart1]

Hi there.
I'm currently modelling my room and needed to make my desk lamp either, so
I tried to do it in 1 hour.
It was very tough, but I managed to get this:

(Modelled in 1 hour with Cinema 4D)

[n-e-gma]

Another simple one.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Well... I decided to start off basic and see where it leads from there...

3D Studio Max 6, 45 mins modelling, 10 mins texturing, 2 min render (default scanline render with 1 skylight and 2 omni's):

[H2O-3DT]

Give it a go anyway :) The subject "lamp" is huge, and leaves room for allot of creativity.
To really have a close look at lamps and their workings, and of course also how, what kind, what colour, etc light the lamp casts. Is a great way to get a better understanding of light that u can take with u into 3d.
This is a modelling comp, but form and function in lamps are very closly linked.
Hope u change your mind. :)

I cant wait to se how this week turns out. :cool:

[Demolus]

ok, here is another one :)

modeling: 25 min

[the_bully]

quick one and i mean quick

software:cinema 9
modeling time:8 mins
render time:1 min

so simple nothing big ill do another one later

[fuseboy]

hi every, i finally registered here (been usin the site loads for inspiration but dont find time to post - need broadband :) ).

also been meanin to enter the last coupla these speed challenges, some really nice work is produced week in week out so i wanna b part of it.

determined to enter this one, some nice lamps already, and i hav a few ideas for wot to do.

just a quick q, soz if this has been answered elsewhere (as said on 56k so takes forever to search for anythin). does the modellin time include any particle systems? or can the particles b added after the 60 mins of modellin time?

cheers for any answers
laters

[efish]

Hellu:)

This is my contribution.. I know it may be a little bit too "far" away from the lamp-subject. I don't know if you can call a flashlight a lamp.. hehe..

Hope you like it.

vladoportos and rado: I really like your models;)

-efish <><

[efish]

Sorry.
Here is the image..

-efish <><

[Andy_k-3DT]

let's make sure we have no more flashlights :)

we've already done that one a while back - infact it was a flashlight thread which became the speed modelling challenges

Andy

[catabolicmaster]

Are chandelier ok?



Enough watching, I'll finally enter a speed modelling challenge now

[lookus]

i think we where all modelling lava lamps (the google ones:D )
i couldnt model a realistic lava, i tried with blobmesh, but i dont know how it really works, and my computer get reeeally slow with some values:grr: i dont remember who, but did it with blobmesh. cool! i thought that wasnt the right way, so i tried to do it at hand, but takes too long to do it a nice looking.
so, maybe i'll look for somthing easier:roll:

very nice lamps, specially the vlad's one, very detailed guy! gosh! hes so fast!

[juha]

hi guys... Vlad . supercool ... really nice...
im gonna make one of those too..
hah heres my first.. i think that it is not an lamp... but .....
well just fooling around a bit...
rhino 30 mins..
max 50 mins...
i only made one of those and then copied it....

[jone]

yeah nice ideas
good chalange
i neeed some time to put my ideas togheter and get to work
ill post mine these days
:)

[Isavedlatin]

two things.

Lookus When i was modeling mine, i just used soft selection on spheres and it worked pretty well for me.


Also, i updated my lamp on page 2. C&C's welcome and encouraged.

Thanks much.

Have you tried just using box modeling to get the shape of the lava? That's what I did with mine. You should just get a reference of what you want the lava to look like and then box it out. :D Hope this helps.

[3djunior]

i was actually expecting shoes for some crazy reason,
im not even gonna ask myself why.
Lamps r cool, good one:D

[Orkron]

Okay, full 60 minutes in Max 6
I couldn't model the cord or the switch because I had no time left.

[TORNADO]

Good one Orkron I'm now waiting my model to render.

[inspired]

awesome render orkron! great mats! you are REALLY good at using HDRI!

[TORNADO]

So here is my first one for this week's challage.I forgot that I have computer till I was waiting for the render!I hope you like it.It is my version of the pixar's lamp.
----------------------
Modeling:1 hour
Materials&Render:1 hour
Soft: Max 5.1, Photoshop CS
---------------------------------

[vladoportos]

Thanx: to every1 who said that like my model, i've done it at 2:00 morning so i was prety messed up this morning :hurt:

Quite nice models in this challenge allready Tornado: nice model I also like the lava lamps.....

I've done another model, this time completly in max so only poly modeling what i didnt done for a long time... ok not so long....

Its rendering now so it will be here soon :)

[curka]

hi everyone!
it's my first post on this forum.
I really like the idea of speed modelling, so I decided to give it a try.
the design is my own, so I'm kind of proud of it...hope u'll like it :)

[Orkron]

Welcome to the forums curka, looks kool, very 60's

Thanks Tornado and Inspired for the nice comments

[H2O-3DT]

Looks good curka. But its posted wrong. U need to include a wire version of your model in your picture. Welcome btw.. :)

[curka]

thanks orkon. i really love retro-style :]

i'll correct my mistakes rightaway!

[Orkron]

yep, my mistake. I did not see the text on the actuall picture.. :o

[curka]

i'm sorry u'r both wrong curka is a SHE ;)
and i'm adding the wire just now.

[deadplant155]

Alright, here's my first entry this week. I did it on my lunch break at work (after eating and e-mailing etcetera). I only spent 12 minutes on the model, and another 5 to render. It's pathetic, but i feel like i'm missing out by not entering at all in the last few. so i figured it's better to enter something with the small amount of time i have than just not enter. Hopefully i'll get a better one in later on.

12 min model
5 min render
maya 6.0
mental ray

[deadplant155]

psst, down here.

I am very sorry ms\mrs? curka? :)
Some of us speedfreaks are women, but i can safely say the we could benefit from some more feminin influence :)

;)

[curka]

H2O, not a mrs yet ;)
i'll try to participate as often as i can in speed modelling so u can 'benefit from feminine influence' :)

[kenkuru]

Nice start for yet another week every1 :)
More new faces allready, warm welcome to you all. Must try to find some time for speed modelling...

cheers

[Isavedlatin]

Alright, post # 2 for me. C&C welcome.

3ds Max 7/Mental Ray
Model: 48 minutes
Texture/mats: 35ish minutes
Render: 2:43

[ShadowMaker SdR]

Okay,

Here's my entry for this one. 1st time I ever get to finish one.

I think this fellow is called Little Helper and he's the small assistant to Duckburg's inventor Gyro Gearloose (or whatever his name is in English, I only know him by his Dutch name: Willie Wortel)

3dsMAX 5
Modeling: 59 minutes
Texturing: 15 minutes
Render: hardly anything

[Isavedlatin]

so, i just felt like saying that i really like this topic. I plan on doing quite a few models. (so far im at one a day, although probably not for long :roll: )

But seriously, awesome topic.

[cresk]

ShadowMaker SdR: very nice model and very original. I like it bigtime. Heel mooi gemaakt !

[Orkron]

Okay! Thanks to NoJoy, I now have 5 (more coming soon) ldr image maps available for download from my site in addition to the 15 hdri I had already :D.
For anybody who's unsure what these are; hdri = high dynamic range image.
and ldri = low dynamic range image.
Both are great ways of producing relistic metal, plastic etc in the texturing process.
So first go to my site at www.orkron.com, and if you would like to learn how to use them, go here (http://www.splutterfish.com/sf/contrib/tutorials/gabry_hdri_tut/_contents/) for the easist hdri tutorial on the web! Also 3dtotal has an hdr tut too thats good but because of their restrictions I can't hotlink to it.

edit: The LDRI maps cannot be gotten anywhere, so I suggest you take advantage of their uniqeness while you can!

edit#2: Ignore the HDR Shop part of the tutorial...I've already changes the probe images to flat images for you.

[vladoportos]

@Orkon: what is the main advantage of ldr image i newer heard about it....

[Orkron]

I was able to get similar results either way.
I think hdri has more light samples etc makes the image "dynamic"
and the low ones are panaromic still but don't have the "extra" embedded into them.
The reality is, hdri maps cost more usually than ldri, from my site theyre all free. The advantage of the ldri I have (courtesy of NoJoy) is that they are maps you cant get anywhere yet...and theyre really good.
Mainly, they are ldri because when I try to convert them to hdri, they go from 2mb to 14mb......so thats a no-no.

[vladoportos]

hmm thanx Orkon, i'll give it a try..... but i found interesting program from Alias just for rendering and it fully support iges inport so maybe i can avoid exporting from rhino tu max :) I gona play with that program tomorow and see the results....

God damn it , i still rendering that one picture of mine lamp. I shouldnt turn SSS on :ugh:

[NeonLeopard]

Hello Everyone,

I''ve been watching the speed challenges for a while now and only just got the guts to have a go myself. I'm still learning ya see! :D

Some Awsome lamps so far!!

I decided to go a little more organic for mine.

Soft: Maya 6.0
Modelling: 60mins
Texturing/Lighting/Tweaking: 3 hours

[Black]

And with this you have held the record on 'breaking the most set of rules' GiJo3D... So far the only unbroken one is stating your programs used!
I think you may want to read through the rules once more. It would be a tisk...

[Orkron]

specifically rule 8
8, No external links to pictures, they must be attached using the browse button and be no larger than 800x600 pixels and 100k. Any pictures larger than this or links will be removed as soon as we see them and the poster will be disqualified immediately

oh ya and rule 3
3, Post the image here along with your details, software used, time spent etc. Please post only one image per entry with a maximum file size of 100k and with the maximum dimensions of 800x600. This image should include at least one wire frame view of your finished model. Posts with multiple renders of the same object will be deleted.

edit: btw Andy has said that 600x800 is okay too, which your second image meets that criteria.

[serialinferno]

just wanted to make a nice and lamp and scene. hope you like it

[Nojoy]

Here a is a links provided to show how you can go about producing LDRI yourself.

The downside is that the effect wont quite look as good ... the nice part it renders at only a fraction of the time compared to hdri and the outcome can be supurb ... reflections will still be very nice etc.

http://www.andrew-whitehurst.net/hdri_tut.html
showing how to create your own LDRI using a mere metal sphere

http://anti-matter.co.za/Freelance_HDRI_Services.html
a nice article explaining in detail different hdri creation possibliities and on the very bottom talks about ldri

Usually you see the same HDRIs currently in most cases being used since the mojority of users grab em from debevec so here are more sites i found that offer HDRI images for free download
http://hdri.3dweave.com/library/
Here is another one that uses a special software in combo with the riight Camera you can produce easily your own maps. He offers lots of HDRI on the bottom of the page to download along with tutorials for each major software (way on the bottom)
http://www2.cs.uh.edu/~somalley/hdri_images.html

I think this will do for starters, and keep you guys busy HDRI wise for a while.

Only nice things about my images that i gave Orkron is as he stated not hdri but totally unique especially the convert hall one is stunning i think.

Hope this covers the complete HDRI topic and Images one can need. Hope you dont mind me adding this pages Andy

[TzoTzul]

50 min for model max 7
< 2 min to render vray
hope you like it,

[Destroythenseek]

Hey everybody...

I used a defaul line scanner...
Modelled this in about 10 minutes...
I love lathe with splines.

Im probably going to make it better...
Just I wanted to post it tonight.
Tonight I will render it with a mental ray- and make the lighting hopefully more appropriate.. I didnt have time to show you this, but I did make lightbulbs and such...

Unfortunaly.. I picked a really bad angle. haha... oh well.

Enjoy :-D

As always, Very nice model otacon!
And I agree, it is more fun to model those traditional lamps, 'cause its more detail and more things to have fun with

And Vlad!! Wow!
Stunningly great model!

[T 1000]

modeling 10 min
Max 6

[T 1000]

my lamp's metal texture is realy bad :(
can someone show me how i can create this type of metaly texture

[evil-98]

^^ mental ray material

metal(lume) set both surface and reflection colors to white and reflection to 1. blured reflection on and you got your self a brushed metal material

[curka]

otacon and vlad, i simply love your models :)

[T 1000]

hmm can you put some screens from the texture config becouse this dosent work with me:( don't know why

[inspired]

Every--Booooooodaaaah! :dance: - Great models! And this week is going as a train! great to see some new faces again! Welcome to all of you :D!

Otacon - Again, a great model from you, and a AWESOME render! (as always :roll:)

Vlad - Great model, my man! It was well worth the waiting ;) awesome render!

ShadowMaker SdR - Great model man! I love 'lampje' (thats his dutch name :roll:) original! nice to see more dutchman here :D

Curka - nice move of you to say that you are a lady. The guys here are mostly very nice to ladies... ask mimi :p hehe welcome to the forum ;) ooh and watch out for Black, our lady killer :p :roll:

(allright, This has to be taken as a joke ;) before ill get alot of mean Pm's :p Black already has a very nice Miss Black (i can now, ive seen the pic ;))

NojoY & Orkron Thnks you 2 for providing those new LDRI's!!! gonna down em right away :D

Ooh, and Vlad im glad i made your day ;)

[vladoportos]

@Fasth, curka,inspired: im happy that you like my model, it realy make my day if some1 say that like my model....

@curka: welcom here, poland is nor so far from Slovakia ;)

[LESTAT]

my first for this bright challenge

modelled in 40 mins
textured in 30 mins

[TzoTzul]

T 1k

your lamp texture is a thing but you should pay more attention to your light setup.
In the photo that you posted the upper part is a reflective material and bellow look like the same material maybe with a little of glossines

the light setup show 2 white light boxes (you could try to make 2 boxes with withe color and 100 self illumination)

maybe this help

[Mousek]

LESTAT
-----------------
wow! Great model!

[Nojoy]

Lestat another nice one ... like the texture on the lamp, Vladaportos very nice lamp .. the luxor and your last one.

Coming along real nice "the lamp challenge", i cant do any more lamps as im moving out of my appartment today, so ill be back as soon as i can. Keep it up folks.:)

[curka]

lestat, i'm really impressed :)

i can see i can learn a lot about modelling in this section.
and here's my today's entry.
i should study for my exams but i decided to do this instead...

btw. thank u all for such a nice wellcoming :)

here's the lamp:

[Mousek]

I was able to get similar results either way.
I think hdri has more light samples etc makes the image "dynamic"
and the low ones are panaromic still but don't have the "extra" embedded into them.
The reality is, hdri maps cost more usually than ldri, from my site theyre all free. The advantage of the ldri I have (courtesy of NoJoy) is that they are maps you cant get anywhere yet...and theyre really good.
Mainly, they are ldri because when I try to convert them to hdri, they go from 2mb to 14mb......so thats a no-no.

As I understand it HDR images cover a much wider spectrum of colour and lighting data - they are 96 bit as opposed to the normal 32 bit and contain data which exists in our normal perception of things but not in computer simulations or phtographic reproduction.

They are created from a series of images using various different over and under exposures to simulate that wider data, as we already knew, the data is not really recordable by camera in one image so HDRI takes a bit of a guess by combining a series of 32 bit images to generate the 96 bit data.

From what I'm reading Orkron's LDRIs are really just panoramic photographs which can be used in any application as a background or global shader.

They'll never have the same dynamics as an HDRI (as Orkron aid there are less samples to work with) but for the most part will work pretty well if you are using Image based lighting or for reflections.

[inspired]

i would like to quote my good old friend Marty when he said:

'Well... I decided to start off basic and see where it leads from there...'

Modeling time - 23 mins
Mats & lights - 10 secs (1 skylight, no mats :))
render time - 1 min

starting off a little simple, maybe some more complex models will come.. who knows :roll:

[inspired]

This is not an entry :p

I would wish to state, that i absolutely dont try to influence the objective judging of our most beloved judge, andy! :roll: The shaping up of these lamps was just a major coincedence, and I was lucky enough to be around to capture this moment with a quick render :)

:halo:

*whispers to Andy: hehe, this one is just for you, my hero! :roll:

[inspired]

The_jigu - Wow! That is a SUPERB entry! the modeling is great, and the mats are (if possible) even better! awesome!

wow, 3 posts in a row, this sure is good for my postcount :D

[the_jigu]

hey inspired last one is nice one.
with textures and shading it will looks great!!!:p:)

great render otacon(congrats)
nice modell orkron(btw tkanks for the advice)
cool pixar lamp vladoportos
:D

[Vhector]

I mentioned it earlier. But all the hass of getting hdri maps.
Isn't saving a picture as an .hdri in max7 not good. Doesn't that work properly.
I've done that, and i see the picture's revlection in the models.

Greetzz

And this weekend I'll get to try a lamp. This is more my kind of subject. Nice ones allready.

Keep it comming

[Barks]

Ahh....Is this an Andy bribing contest now Inspired? :D

Is that the best you can do!...But seriously...I like you model. The stacking concept is intriguing to say the least. I'd like to know where I could get some lamps like that.

Otacon: Well...You've gone and done it again. Where do you come up with these fantastic models? :)

[Mousek]

Modeling : 20 min.
Rendering : 10 min.
Lighting : 2 min.

[Peddy]

Ive been meaning to get involved here for quite some time, but time is scant now-days. great stuff so far!

heres my entry. forgive the lack of texture. if i didnt have an early start tomorrow, i would have gone all out ;]

[the_jigu]

hey mousek nice one very funny lamp!!

if u animate this lamp it will look very funny!!!

[otacon]

Thanks for the replies.:) This is actually a lamp we have in my parents house, we have another cool one...i will model it later.

Cool model the_jigu, i like it.:D

[TORNADO]

You know the funny thing Mousek is that I used to have a lamp that looked just like the one you modeled!

[Ember]

Blah, Curka made it first :)

Anyway this is my first post and I felt totally uncreative so I created the lamp on my desk. And no, I didn't notice Curka had made the same lamp before coming here to post my work. :P

Made with Lightwave.

Modelling: 50 mins (would have been 20 less without few problems)
Surfacing & lighting: 30mins or so

Did some heavy post processing (rendered into layers and tweaked from there).

http://www.students.tut.fi/~collinn/lamp.jpg

edit: Crap, couldn't attach my image and it doesn't show here even with the IMG-tags. Oh well, just click on the link then...

[curka]

hey ember, your model is more detailed than mine.i ran out of time(or willingness??) besides i wasn't very creative either, i only modelled the lamp on my desk just like u. it's a popular type of lamp :) blame it on ikea ;)

[Mousek]

the_jigu, TORNADO
----------------------------------
Thanx.I try make animation.

[oad]

I did this last year using 3D Max.
Can´t remember how long the modelling took but i guess about 60-90 minutes.

Becaus of that it´s like i already stated in the subject, not an entry.

Just thought it would be nice to share and receive som C&C.


Cheers!

Hello:)

Sorry andy, didn't know you had a flashlight-challenge. Now I have I made a model that I think will go under the lamp-subject. It is an old Clipper lamp.
I hope you like it;)
I'm sorry i don't texture my stuff, i'm just not very good at it.. yet:)...

-efish <><

Very nice model huntyri! Liked it!

[T 1000]

This is my second post. It's not much but....

[DiaMant2]

Sorry...

[deadplant155]

coolness this week, as usual.
very nice model huntyri, exceptional really, i love the detail (you gotta add a wireframe to your image though...)
really great job everyone. i'm hoping to get another one in this weekend, to make up for my last entry.

[raven2k4z]

[Orkron]

I just got Brazil, so my next lamp will be textured with Brazil and lit with Brazil...But I'm not sure what settings are wrong cuz the Brazil renderer doesn't look right yet :D So hopefully I'll figure it out by the time I'm done.

[vladoportos]

@Orkron: Im looking forward to see your brazil render and also model... I have quite few issues with brazil so i dont use it but i've seen some good renders with it..

Im just testing Alias ImageStudio whitch is based on mantalray (not my favorite render) but setting is very easy in this program i hit render just now but it look like for looong time :)

[jone]

yes
i ve finished my model
now im just waiting for the render to finish(its gonna take awhile)
so i can post it
:)

[BingBong_Brad]

ok..first time posting anything..hope its good enough to hang with the rest you guys.


Modelling - 58 minutes

BingBong_Brad, beautiful man, very nice.

[Avago]

First post here...Been watching these speed challenges for a while now, finally got around to participating :)

[Nojoy]

Nice one bing bong Brad i like it tooo... also Avogo nice style its really a pleasure to the eyes somehow ... nice reflection.

Hi it's my first time posting
I find this speed challenge interesting so I made this lamp. Hope you will like it.

Modeling: 35 min
Texturing/lighting: 60 min
soft: maya 6.0

[Barks]

Here's my third entry and in the spirit of competition my model also massages Andy's ego. I'm not sure how legible it came out so I'll just put in that it says "Huzzah for Andy". In recognition of his fine efforts with this forum. And for putting up with all of our crap. :D

Modelling: 45mins
Texturing: 5mins

[Redregon]

i'm kinda curious though, the speed modeling challenge has been here for a while, what if we up the stakes a little as well as the challlenge...

it just popped into my head, but something like a speed scene rendering challennge...? maybe something like 24 hours and going from concept to completion (posting it all)

don't get me wrong, i've seen some amazing entries and i wish i had the confidance to do this myself... but if the stakes were upped, it could also be some great portfolio work too *with some cool swag*

dunno, just an idea.

[2d jumper]

My trial period of 3dsmax ran out. so for now I had to use bryce 5

Bryce 5
Every thing except for the photo shop cut and past wire frame second angle 29 minutes

P.s. this is modeled after a touch lamp I have on my desk.

the speed modelling challenge works so well because of what it is. At it's simplest level it requires an hour or so of your time to complete it but that doesn't stop you taking the model and refining it a little for your portfolio - a couple of the members web sites are composed of speed modelling challenge images.

Making it any more complex would kill it. What is a fun thing would become serious and we'd have to write and enforce a whole load more rules which was never the intention.

Speed scene rendering puts some people at an unfair advantage, which the modelling challenges do not do we allow render farms to compete? do we insist that everyone has the same spec computer? how do we check these things? Read through the rules and you will see why we discounted the idea of speed rendering.

Texturing, lighting and rendering your final image is something you would seldom scrimp on or cut corners in a real world environment which is another thing we try and simulate with these chalenges. The model may be required quickly to show to a client but the finished article may take a long time to be completed to everybody's satisfaction.

As for cool swag - we hand out texture CDs to the winners each week if we have to start gathering prizes from software manufacturers or outside sources it becomes immensely time consuming.

I think that it is popular how it is now and changing the organisation would probably make it less succesful. May I suggest that you read and understand the concept behind these challenges and maybe join in the fun and informal atmosphere before asking to change something just because?

there is an old saying which applies here

"if it ain't broken don't try and fix it"

[jdgill]

OTACON: GREAT MODEL!!!!!!!

Heres my lamp, its like sci-fi-ish.

Modeling: 45 mins for the whole thing...about 3d for just the lamp.
Texturing: ABout 15 mins.
Software: Truespace 3.1

[the_bully]

hey andy
i have a question so what happens if you keep winning and there are no more cd to choose from
what would be the prize then?

[Isavedlatin]

i think you would win a trophy, or a pizza. maybe a pizza trophy.

[pheonex]

mabye you get promoted to a level of such greatness taht winning is no longer neccacary therfore other less good people get a cd, :D

hehehe just kidding

[Orkron]

well bully, there are currently 13 texture cd's available, and you've only won 3 in 33 weeks, so you have at the very least, 10 more weeks to try and get to that stage...but by then, there will likely be another cd to win....

[jdgill]

Isavedlatin: Was that for me or anotehr model? If it wsa for me I'll take the pizza :D. Maybe a small trophy with it :p.

Heres my second entry:D

it was a quick one..very primitive too:p

Modelling time: about 25 mins
Texturing: like 10 mins or less
Software: Truespace 3.1...I wish so bad I had 6:p

Very Primitive...just wanted a Modern like lamp. It was a quicky to help improve my skills, but since There is no limit to entries...might as well enter it.

Alright, I didnt really work on texturing.

But here you are... my good renders, so to speak.


Questions/comments are always welcome.

otacon - very nice lamp even though the five minutes.. still nice render i knew it would be to hard to model and left my hands of one. ;)

Orkron - also very original model there and nicley rendred, i like it
