speed modelling challenge - week 55 - 3D-Avatar

[Shamrock]

subcrocodile - cool looking scene. Are the three 'lights' charging the object in the middle or just spot lighting it? good work.

[Trimyr]

3Dvirus you should edit your post quick and change that image to one that has both the model and wireframe in one picture. Not too much time left

[RideStowe]

shamrock: thanks for the kind comments ^_^ its the first character i've made that i've been semi-happy with so far.

i'd really love to make another one of these before it ends today but i've got work for a few more hours :( oh well i'll be refreshing every 5 mins when i get home for ther new challenge :D

[hammerch]

Thanks Shamrock... I'm still learning... Well pretty much everything. Old timer pixel pusher, VERY new to 3d.

[smallpiece]

This the first chance i've had to take part for a couple of weeks, but i was itchin to get atleast one in this week, so here it is...

[RideStowe]

mmmm stacks of cheese....

[fastrak]

noyb
neat little car. Not bad for working with an unfamilar program.

Firefly
Nice details on the headgear. Out of curiousity, how do the straps fasten?

RideStowe
Great pirate character. Good job.

Evil-98
wow. lots of stuff going on in that one. Nice machinery.

kenkuru
Thanks for the comment

hammering3d
Very well done tennis racket. Way to go.

Antievo
I don't think max takes .eps files. Only .ai in illustrator 8 format. Try converting to that, then import into max. Not really sure if that would work well however.

Shamrock
HOWDY! Thanks for the comments. I'm just down the road a bit west from you (3 hours lol) Main employment right now is as a teacher for a technical college. Teach video, photography and portfolio development classes (among others). Have'n a blast. :)

Andoy
It's about time! Anxious to have you back in the challenges.

subcrocodile
Very ambitious. Nice job.

3Dvirus
Welcome to the forums! Nice little avatar you have going. As suggested by Trimyr, edit the image post so you have only one image with the wireframe and render together. Just look to the others posts here for examples.

smallpiece
Nice concept. Glad to have you back.

[andoy]

Fastrak Thanks it's nice to know at least someone missed me .. hehehe
i'm anxious too to get back into the challenges.

wanted to do something with frozen and spirit. and came up with this kind of icecube with something in it... :crazy:

good entries to all of you :dance:

[Clamps]

3rd entry for me in this challenge.

software used: 3D Max 7 60
modeling time all 60 minutes.
Rendered with vray
textureing about 30 mins took longer as trying to do chrome but didnt get perfect one but happy with final thing.
render took about 40 minutes. with lighting and test renders final image took 10 mintues

[Brodix]

I have one of those but mine doesn't say clamps

[tokai]

def scanline (for wire)

no good. Better change quick into just a unsmoothed screenshot wire, else DQ.

regards,
tokai

[thoughtforms]

I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to create an avatar...

[Clamps]

no good. Better change quick into just a unsmoothed screenshot wire, else DQ.

tokai


ok updated think :wall: all is correct now.

Thanks for telling me :dance:

looks good thoughtforms :D

[Brodix]

Firefly Nice details on the headgear. Out of curiousity, how do the straps fasten?

Well I actually rendered out the wrong side. If you look in the wire, you will see the Chin strap (Bottom) has a snap button. :wave: Thanks by the by

[3djunior]

Hope its alright :)

Hammering3d- i like the racket, it's cool how u did the net thingy,
wudn't have thought of that.

Subcrocodile- really cool scene, dont know whats going on tho, r
those mechanical things just lighting the object in the middle?

3Dvirus- nice first one, keep at it :cool:

Smallpiece- looks good, i like the render- what is it?

Old_Nick- thats cool, looks a bit like lego- is it something or abstract?
It would make a cool lookin avatar

Capt. Underpants- hehehe, had to look at them for a while, but now i kno and its funny, could do with some randomisation, but good for a start:)

Betasoft- Nice avatar there, i really like the textures although some
could maybe do with a higher resolution or more smoothing?

Funky Bunnies- haha, really nice clean (i think :)) model there

Frozen Spirit- Really cool, cudnt figure out what it was at first, nice
and simple, the ice shader is good and so is the shader for the middle thingy!

Clamps- Great, the outside of the clock could have done with a little more smoothing, but im nitpicking ;P. Love the render.

Thought Forms- like the concept, wouldnt mind having something like that, hehe

Fastrak- amazing models and renders, where do u get all the time to do
them? haha.

Ok got a bit carried away there:)

Heres mine-
Modelling- 30mins
Texturing-30mins
Render- 15mins

[Brodix]

or the wire/render combo, must be separate

[smallpiece]

Smallpiece- looks good, i like the render- what is it?


Cheers 3djunior....its not supposed to be anything in particular, just an object to represent 'smallpiece'...its not great but i think it represents the name quite well.

[betasoft]

Hi, wen will be showen results of this week??? Thanks for fast reply, VP.

[Rooky]

betasoft
you`re joking right??? there are 10 weeks already which haven't been judged yet!! and this is only 7th - there are 6 weeks before this which will be judged!!! Hope you got the point!! ;) and you should read more through the posts and the latest weeks to understand the situation!!

[pixel pimp]

i dont know why they take so long to judge, its only reall a fun competition anyway, its not like theres a serious prize or anything.

[RideStowe]

yer kidding aye? those texture cd's are worth like 50$

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Good Question Betasoft... (whose post mysteriously disappeared as I was typing this response.)

The answer is... wait for it.... wait for it.....

Soon! :D

Yeah, I've actually been going through this week's entries since last night. There are still a few loose ends to tie up for a few previous weeks... but I'm hard at work on them. As soon as I'm done, they go straight to Andy for a final look over and then... BAM! He'll post the results and we move on to the next week!

Thanks everyone for their patience!!! :D

[EpoPisces]

Oh man I wish I had been around when this week's contest was going! (oh sure, sure; I could do the same thing now but where's the fun un that?)
