[pepperoni90]

Black why is your tone allways unnecesary bossy when it comes to a problem/discussion? Doesnt make the forums more friendly in my opinion...

Anyway nice week this is, I'll try to finally join again when I have some time

[bobi]

_3D_: Huh...Very nice pic.
I just love the colour.
Would you like to shear with us your lightning, materials, and render setup.
Again just love your picture.
Thanks.

[trix]

third post =P
hope u enjoy..
manfaturated mugs...the borders i didnt smoth on proposer =P
please show my errors!

[mimi01]

:???: :???: :???: :???: :???:

Jatoba, I don't know whats your problem, but you've just posted the same model twice, if I were you I would delete it, because following the rules, this would disqualify you. :evil:

[tha kid]

k great entries so far. i love them all. heres my entry, i wroked hard on it i hope u all like. :P

[mimi01]

i dont know what are you talking about, its another version!!

2 criminals but the last one you guys will not censurate!!!

Come on, grow up! You just changed it. In your old one, you called us all hipocrits. Everybody can see that you edited your post.

Now, don't you think it would be much more productive to start modelling mugs, instead of searching for agressive images to put on them? All people here in this forum are here to learn and share their work. So if you are not, maybe you should look for another one.

[Justo]

Im seksi?

[URs3D.net]

Where can I get HDRI maps?
please help

[hammering3D]

hi Hammering 3d i want to join your fan club for the pig-elephant.
very funny ;man!

julayen tnx man, U people make me blush :o

And julayen U'r bird mug is verry funny to and nice modeled.

Maybe we all with animals-mug shood open UP an ZOOMUG :roll:

[tha kid]

this thread is becoming a spamfest :(

[fastrak]

Jatoba:
Warning. This is not a forum to make political statements. It is a 3d modeling competition.If you wish to make political statements, go some where else. Please remove your post. Besides, it is not a valid entry. It is missing so many of the needed requirements for an actual entry, which I'm sure your aware of, that I cannot accept that is was posted to be an actual entry but some from of protest or statement.

LOL

Mimi-

It's likely the same model without the objectionable emblem on the front of it. In an effort to appease those who find it offensive ( and since Andy removed the original version of it ) he simply reposted the same model with a different logo on the front. :) No harm. . . no foul. . .

Though I wonder if we should put emblems of any type on the model. The competition IS based on modelling skills, so rendering / texturing are nice to look at, but not necessary.

Trivia- The swastica emblem is based on a very old nordic symbol that stands for ' good luck ' or ' good blessing '. It's interesting how a symbol
can be as powerful as it is. Considering it is simply a symbol. Ironic that what has become a symbol of ' evil ' ( for lack of a better word ) used to be exactly the opposite. :)

[RideStowe]

there needs to be a rule called: PLEASE KEEP THE POLITICS OUT OF THIS FORUM, and out of your models too :) afterall, if your texture coulod be considered offensive, just submit the model, afterall that's what this contest is about

yeah you are right, i'm sorry folks but the first intention was just to put an icon who fit in my red mug, but with no intentions was just a inspiration.

no need for a delet

sorry if i ofend somebody

Ok, Jatoba, peace. ;P

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Ok now guys... just look at what you've done to poor Mimi. She's slamming on her keyboard... she's lost all her hair... she looks nothing like herself anymore! On behalf of everyone here, I'd like to say I'm sorry Mimi! :D

[mimi01]

:cry: :cry: :cry: Thank you, Marty.

With your nice words, I can feel my hair growing back, right know. :kiss:

[fastrak]

Jatoba: Thankyou.

I believe that this should close the issue.

[fastrak]

Villane: Hey, nice to see that your still breathing. lol The delusions don't stop here. Today the forum, tomorrow the world (no wait, that's Marty's MO)

JHB: Well deserved on the win. Now starting slinging some mugs this way!

Vozzza: Welcome to the forums. Please add the name of the software used to make the entry. Add the info into your already existing post. (Use the edit button) :)

_3d_: Welcome to you also. May need to consider something different for a wireframe, like please include one. Thanks

[bobi]

This is not a political post,
But, Fastrak, why Jacuba must remove his post?

II world war is history, and I dont' see anything bad at posting german old sign.
I don't think that anyone will complain, if the mug has a english sighn (and, anybody who knows even a little of history, knows that great britain is the moust evil empire that has ever egsist in our world) or Rome sighn, or even American.

Remuve my post, but I think asking Jacoba to remuve his post is offending for german people, becouse many civilisaton have a much crimes than germany, (don't get me wrong, neither I agrred with Hitler polytics) and that is my, dear democratic people, a discrimination with german people.

Anyway If anyone just want to know I am not german.

[Retro]

Second post, Marty yes this is inspired by yours, kinda...not so
cool though
julayen- Nice post :shout:
Mimi - I still think your avatar is cool, even if you're angry :haha:

Mod : 15 min
Tex: 10 min
Rendering : 36 sec

[RockstarKate]

Nice models, though it would be nicer to see more of them and less arguing. Oh well.
Here's mine. I just realized that there is a rule about only using a screengrab for the wireframe... is this a new thing? I either never noticed that rule or it's relatively new...I put mine together at home, but alas, I must travel to get internet connection, so I can't fix it right now. If it is truly an issue, I'll fix it tomorrow. Anyway, I think it's pretty clear as it is.
Sorry for inadvertently breaking a rule.
I hope you like it. I have a set of these at home.

[fastrak]

RockstarKate: I beleive your entry is exceptable. :)

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

The rule about screengrabs has actually been around for quite a long time. As Fastrak noted though... your wireframe is "acceptable" in it's current form. Just don't let it happen again! ;P

[RefeeZ]

lo everybody:) its my first post here so plz be patient with me:P congrats to all of u who have made some pictures til now,i liked 'em all! :D

so,its my mug hope u'll like it ;)

[fish]

i guess i'm just trying to stay competitive.

[Clamps]

RefeeZ looks very nice good entry :D render is very good as well good work :D

Justo must say nice model, render and tiles but i do belive that tile texture is out of the max 7 arch mat folder i think best tile texture in there :O also thanks for comments on my last entry :D

[fish]

quality comes from quantity

[Black]

Black why is your tone allways unnecesary bossy when it comes to a problem/discussion? Doesnt make the forums more friendly in my opinion...

Anyway nice week this is, I'll try to finally join again when I have some timeYou have proven your intelligence and your ability to grasp events "one time too many" for me to personally take you serious.


Bobi;
There is nothing that can really hold defence against your post. It is history and it is an artifact. And it is something that can be modeled or refferenced from.
But the point here is that "more than enough" people took offence from it and Andy has already taken decision on how the matter should be handled.

We don't think you agree with Hitlers policy for your post in deffence, nor have we ever thought Jacuba's was such.
But they have made their peace and it is best we leave it at that.
You guys can always private message over the matter. Else this is going to grow too much shall you agree.


Fish;
It really depends :)

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

_3d_: Please take a look at the other entries submitted by other members here. Then go to page 1 of this thread and read over the rules one more time. Then modify your original post to fit the requirements of joining this challenge. Then delete the post you have above. Then... everything will be fine. :)

[3Dvirus]

[[Kothe]]

I don't realy get why nobodey got this idéa before me?
Here's my entry (And I have to say that the "standard" mugs still is the best modelled this week)


OK, I'm not sure if this is a vaild antry anymore :wall:
Please tell me, if it's not, I will remove it!

[shamohan]

Many many entries, very nice, congratulations all,

[Antievo-3DT]

Here is my first entry for this week's challenge.
I used 2 lights and a HDRI map for the Envirement. Carefully placed and tuned.
I rendered using VRay, and all the materials are VRay Materials.
For the cloth I used 3D Studio Max's built in Reactor and Gravitation.
And by the way. More people should share their techniques. This is how we learn. Take some time :D

Modeling Prosess:
- First I made a sphere, then I copied it and scaled it down about 95% and booleaned it out.
- Then I cut the top of ot the sphere, and used some time to get rid of unwanted splines and polygons.
- After that I extruded a rown of polygons for the base of the cup in the bottom, and scaled them down about 90%.
- Then I extruded the upper "rim" of the cup with 2 faces in hight, and traced the upper polygons, and extrudes them out for a "lip rest."
- I used a sideview, drew out a 2D spline, and used it as a path to extrude the handle, and then I extrudes the "rubber grip" though GroupExtrude.
- After that, used some time to tune everything in place. Move some poly-rows, remove some pesky splines ect...
- Then I made the liquid inside by making another sphere the same size as the inside uf the cup, and scaled it up by 0,3%
so that the polys of the liquid don't collide with the walls of the cup.
- I used some time again to refine the shape of everything.
- Now that the model was done, I made the materials - and placed the lights.
- There is one KeyLight (in this case the HDRI), one FillLight (a spot from the upper left corner) and one OmniLight serves as a KickerLight.
Spotlight: Multiplier 0,6, A vague tint of yellow, ShadowMap Opacity 40%. The light has a "medium distance" from the cup.
Omni: Multiplier 0,2 (very close to the cup), No shadows. The cup and the cloth is excluded.Also there is s vague tint of red.

I can't get into all the rendersettings right now, I will be late for work if I do.
Ask me if there is anything else you want to know. Maby I left something out?
I would be happy to help :D

Model made in: 3D Studio Max 7.0
Modeling time: 53 Minutes
Render time: 43 Minutes, 13 Seconds
Material and Lighting time: About 25 Minutes
7 Materials and one HDRI was used in the scene

[ApuNahasapinape]

i forgot the wire, should i post it as a separate image or a in that old one? :wall:

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

You must post the wireframe and render in the same image. Just go ahead and edit it. :)

[Antievo-3DT]

ApuNahasapinape:
You have to post it in the same picture as the old model.
The picture has to be 800x600 in size, containing a render, and the wireframe.
Take a look at how other people have posted their Entries.

Antievo.

Edit:
Wow Marty McFly. You are the man for the job! lol
That is what I call a fast reply.

[hammering3D]

Antievo - verry nice model, and u got the materials there verry nice, and the clouth look so smoot and soft, I almost want to pet it :D

[Antievo-3DT]

Thank you Hammering3D!
I can safely say that you are not doing so bad yourself :D
I always loved your designs.

[pecenipicek]

what is this, did the whole board put me on ignore? :p

nobody even noticed my work :p

[PKT]

Antievo - verry nice model, and u got the materials there verry nice, and the clouth look so smoot and soft, I almost want to pet it :D

I couldn't have put it any better myself, good job Antievo

[adamos]

There you have .
Modeling time:5 min
Software:Max 6.0
First time HDRI render, and i must say i like it the way its look :)

[3Dvirus]

Wow antievo very nice model and great render...i simply love it..especialy that silk material :P

[hammering3D]

pecenipicek - Ok I chek and I like U'r glass mug, the model is nice, I like how U model the dents in it, and the proportions mug<->handel look nice, and the render off the glass is nice and look real.
BUT I think is not a valid entry :( and I say that because:
-is made of glass
-is to tin.

I think U better ask a moderator about this, cause I'm not shure.

[_3d_]

This is final. I hope it's ok.

[andoy]

Just a quick first entry from me this week,
Modelled in C4D Demo ( still waiting for the postman to bring me my full version Grrr)
Modelling time was 9 minutes with a cylinder made editable, then a few extrudes and a little play with the Matrix Extrude tool for the handle..
Textured in 5 minutes and Rendered in 22 minutes with HDRI and Radiosity.
Didn't really have time to play around with the settings much so if it's a bit washed out i apologise.
Maybe i will get round to a full hour modelling later in the week to try and compete with some of the good models on show so far...

[hammering3D]

adamos - I like it to, how it's look, nice render

[Black]

Hammering3D is right there;

Its a very nice Jug.


Black

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Wow Andoy... you're still waiting for your full version! I'd be crying by now! :cry:

[voodrew]

what is this, did the whole board put me on ignore? :p

nobody even noticed my work :p


Don't feel bad. I have posted several models in other weeks and only had 1 comment (about the materials, none the less). All this means is that we are posting average models (neither lousy and needing constructive criticism nor exceptional and receiving praise) and they are not catching anybody's eye. Use this as challenge to strive to produce more striking models (I know I am) that will catch someone's eye and make them stand up and say "WOW!". Studying the models that people ARE commenting on is where I started and my modeling has improved a thousand fold.
Good luck.
Drew

[hammering3D]

_3d_ - In my opinion I think u'r wire is to small and smoot, U an upload an image at 800X600 rez, and put a biger wire and without smoot.

andoy - even if U'r model is simple, but with that material and render, look realistic, and the pic on it is so funny :D

[3Dvirus]

LoL andoy i'm a fan of The Simsons...like your render very much...Sry the postman did't arive yet...i'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

[andoy]

I'd be crying by now! :cry:

I am Crying every morning when the postbox is found empty still..

hammering3D: Thanks, i kinda relate to Homer in a way.. DOH!!

[Lactrox]

Antievo: Wow, I realy like those materials you use, all of them made in Vray? Anyway, you have to teach me the basics on Vray this monday at school ;)

[Antievo-3DT]

Here are some comments on the models that "locked my eyes" for a few minutes, in one way or another:

OmegaN: (#15)
I love your metal shaders. Also, the model design is pretty cool.

Adamos: (#22)
Oh, nice! Another good metal material/shader. Your model also has nice detail, and unique design.
For some reason I want to og camping when I see that, lol.

Artecnl: (#32)
I love your material/render style. Those mug’s look very ”grungy” and urban.
The coasters were a nice feature as well.

Tojo: (#49)
Hey! That’s cool! It’s been a loooong time since I saw one of those!
I remember a cup like that from my dad’s car when I was a little boy. Really simple, but nicely done.

Aioria: (#52)
That material and render is grate! One of the best materials so far. Alsom the cup has a nice shape.

Julayen: (#84)
That is a simple cup, and one really nice render! I am attracted to it, because it looks so ”fuzzy” I think, lol.

Sir_Render: (#97)
I commented your entry before, butt hat render is simply amazing!
I also love the design of the cup with the ”low handle” and everything. It looks grate.

Justo: (#123)
You just ceep throwing them out don’t you!? As usual, your entries are exaples of grate work.
Your models, materials and renders are grate.

PKT: (#135)
I like the material on those mug’s. Also, nice render.

Lactrox: (#156)
Hey pal! Nice of you to join in on the speed-challenge action after a warm recommendation, hehe.
Funky model you have there, only – it would be a pain to drink out of. Shelfpride! It looks cool anyhow.

Hammering3D: (#181)
That is a really nice model, grate material, and a grate render! A grate combo if you ask me!
I love the way that the tail becomes the ”handle” of the cup.

Marty McFly: (#194)
Hey! Stop doing that, you are staff now! No, I’m just kidding. That is a grate model, and definitly unique.

V3XA: (#212)
I can only say, wow! That is one of the coolest models so far. And the render is grate!
It looks kinda’ dangerous to drink from it tho, lol.

UrsiNMC: (#231)
I always love your metal materials! The model is simple, but elegant and nicely done.

BKDesign: (#247)
That is a really cool design! One of the best designs so far in my opinion…

RefeeZ: (#286)
Awsome idea man! That made me laugh…

Andoy: (#309)
Hey man! Nice to see you enter again! The man who know show to render :D
Good job on the materials/textures as well.
And btw – Giving you a full version of a 3D application is not safe for the rest of us,
so we all pitched in and baught the postman away from your house, lol...

----

Lactrox:
Yes, they are all VRay Materials. I can teach you in school, yes :D
What are classmates for after all?! Hehe... And thank you for your comment btw :D

PKT and 3DVirus:
Thank you for your remarks! I apritiate it. I really do...

[hammering3D]

Antievo - tnx, happy that U like it.

[pecenipicek]

umm, beer mugs are made from glass if i'm not wrong, as for the thickness, well, i'll see what can i do, but i'm not too keen on the render time :p

[hammering3D]

pecenipicek - Before rendering again such amoung of time, read this If I undestern corec from what Black say, glass mug are not acceptable, except pyrex (i don't really know what a pyrex is but I think u'r is not one.)

[Moe's]

WOW, im the biggest fan of this web page.
3d total staff: you guys are doing a great job. and thanks for this chance.

Anyway this is a simple model, no fancy things,i just wanted to try the challenge,i know we have the chance for more than one submittal.
anyway it is Done in:
AutoCAD----Modeling----16 minutes
3D Max 7----Material----4 Minutes
Lighting----7 Minutes
Render ----135 Minutes (Go figure)

[Deto]

Very nice models here, again, as usually. : )

Here's my entry. Please take easy on me, I'm not too good yet : )

[hammering3D]

Hello, I'm back with other pair of eyes to scare Fastrak :smug:
so a mug with a mug on it ...
...this is the zoo keper of the pig-elephant :crazy:

[Thir13en_fears]

I'm wanting to post my entry but I'm abit confused about something.

Could someone tell me how to display the full wireframe in 3ds Max 7. Mine seems to only display the edges that are faceing towards the screen.

[artecnl]

thanks Antievo, and great render too, i like a lot the metal texture and the lighting:D
and Mimi thanks :D a lot, i like your red mug, it seems like someone bite it, good image
and great job everyone
Cheers :D:D:D

[hammering3D]

Thir13en_fears - Is better if U make a screen grab of u'r viewport with the edge faced tourned ON.

U press the Print Screen button from U'r keyboard, and then go in a photo edit program and push paste, and U have a nice wireframe.

[3Dvirus]

You are welcome antievo...there is a saying here in romania i don't know if i say this right...what is beautifull god likes it too...so i think god speds half of his day browsing this forum :P

[3Dvirus]

Moe's welcome to the forum hope you feel just like home here :P

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Thir13en_fears: Right click on the object in your viewport, choose properties, then uncheck "backface cull"

That should do the trick. :D

[Thir13en_fears]

Well before I post my entry, I thought I'd be polite and introduce myself. Firstly you may notice that I've been a member since November 2004 but only posted once....... The reason, well basically I've never had the guts to enter the competitions because everyones models seem to be so good and i didn't think mine were up to scratch.

Anyways on with things. I'm 20 years old from the UK and I'm currently studying Computer Games Art at the University of Teesside. I moving onto my second year and with it being a games course we mainly learn Low Poly Modelling so this is sort of out the usual for me but I'm learning.

I only started modeling when I started Uni so its coming up to a year very shortly. I know very minimum about texturing at the moment because I've had to teach myself. I also know very little about modelling organic models. but I'm a fast learning. I'm more of a box modeller.

Anyways heres my first ever entry, how you all like it:

[3Dvirus]

Welcome Thir13en_fears and very nice to meet you...i'm not very good my self but i improuved very much since joined the forum...so i know that you will learn to...good luck and good to have you aboard.by the way a very nice entry

[3Dvirus]

Moe's sory for the late reply...i just looked at you entry...i like the model it is clean...but you could tri to use a little bit more colour and i bet that it would look great.So good night everibody it's 5am here in romania...i just finished modeling my latesc mug,just pulled it up under 1 hour...when i wake up i will texture it and do some tweaking...so good night or good morning :) and happy modeling

It was an easy one to spot considering the time I spent looking at all the entries of that challenge for the judgings. You can view it here. (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showpost.php?p=363770&postcount=267) :D Happy Birthday dude!

[fastrak]

Marty, you must have every entry ever posted memorized by now. (It's all apart of THE plan, you know :evil: ).

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Yeah, that memory doubler upgrade I got is coming in very handy right about now! :crazy:

[fastrak]

But how do you double ...er....nothing :???: :eek:

JUST KIDDING LOL hehe LOL

[xcessi]

My attempt at a tweety.

C&C would be greatly appreciated.. this is my first attempt at a model like this..

[hyelife]

This is my entry. Hope you guys like it.

Software Used: 3D Max 7
Modeling: 25mins
Texturing & Lightning: 6mins
Rendering: 6mins

[Délé]

A few more that popped out at me...

fish - Very clean models. Excellent work!

ApuNahasapinape - I really like your render! I hope you get the wire in there so it qualifies.

Antievo - Nice job on both the modeling and render!

Adamos - Many nice entries yet again this week! Great work!

Deto - Not that good??? Looks quite nice if you ask me. Excellent work!

hammering3D - lol, I like the zoo keeper too. I think you've done an excellent job with your entries of capturing a style within a somewhat tight theme. Great job!

xcessi - I tawt I taw a tweety bird? I did, I did taw a tweety bird. Nice work!

[Délé]

Ok, I thought it would be good to go ahead and do a more traditional mug too, so here's my second entry. Here I found it useful to add geometry for the handle by adding a couple of subdivision layers and extracting the final mesh to work from further. So, here again I've added a wire before "any" subdivision was done, just to be safe.

[fastrak]

Hey ppl nice to see you all again...justo your renders are simply great...the models seen here are gorgeus nice work everibody...so...this is mine...the devil's mug great for holding that fresh hot blood in the morning.
Damn forgot theese again...
Modeling time:full hour
Texturing about 2 hours this is not realy my good spot
Software:3ds max6+brazil r/s

You have also forgotten the wireframe.....please edit
Thanks a bunch. :) POST #292

[xcessi]

hey Délé - you did!, you did! :wave:

[Clamps]

xcessi hehe nice tweety looks real good :D just need the cat now :o texturing looks very good as well :D

hyelife sinple and very nice indeed good job :D

Délé nice model, render and textures you even did the white rim bit on the bottom :O

[EDIT] the whole scene was modeled within the time limit. one mug its self took about 20 mins to do the other four are just clones. rest of the time was spent on the stand and wall / floor. the main top part of the stand is made from a cyclinder with bend and two ends pivot from edge to give 90 degrees down then extuded and sides are just cyclinders from bottom to top.


heres my third entry for this week

[Black]

It'd be really cool if there was a way to pull it out from the bottom.
Now you just use, wash and put back the top one at all times. :)

It is a good idea to note on your post that you spent the given time for the scene with the stand included.
Else only your mug shall be judged to have been modeled in the given time limit.


Good luck;

Today (sept 2nd) is my 18th birthday weeee!

[JAC]

Hi all,

Just a simple one to get started with (I'm hoping to do at least one more), just did the coffee mug sitting on my desk :) while there is a cat on my cup the one in the render was just a cat toon off the net.

Software: 3DMax 7
Modelling Time: 52 minutes

Thanks Delé. Thank you for the comment,
glad you liked it.

artecnl Thanks
Clamps thanks.. really like you tiles.. the cracks and imperfections makes it looks very nice....

[fish]

thanks Délé. Glad someone noticed it :)

[fish]

i made this one up as i modelled it. i guess its for light coffee drinkers, as i doesn't hold a lot of coffee (which is for the best, as the handle wouldn't take the weight without breaking :))

[caag1]

a drop in the ocean....

[hyelife]

Clamps Thx for the comment. This was my first entry, the next one wont be so simple.

Also great work on yours!

here I come!
I've never thought about which is best, the stats in the pic or the stats in the post. I'll go both ways from now on
software: 3d studio max
modeling time: 28 minutes (give or take e few seconds)

[messiah khan]

Here's my first entry this week, hopefully i'll get another one done after the weekend. My dad's happy that this one is finished, as he now can have his mug back and finally have a mug of coffee:)

The modelling was done using spline lathe to get the basic shape, the rest was then tweaked in editpoly. The lighting also uses Ambient occlusion, just so i could tweak the shadows in Photoshop. I have to say i'm learning far more about lighting and materials in these speed modelling challenges than i am modelling, but then as long as im learning something and having fun at the same time its got to be good:)

[PKT]

Welcome to the forums Deto, first thing I thought of when I saw your entry was "mug", lol, sooo nice model and I like your materials.

I really like your entry messiah khan, beautiful render and textures.

And most others here got very nice entries to, good job.

[ThaTyger]

Some serious smoothing issues killed my last design (was trying to smooth the handle, took me a hour to get it right =/ going to look up some tutorials about smoothing for sure :smug: ) so I decided to go back to basics.

I was playing arround with cross-section for a bit when suddenly this appeared :) I really like it (though am going to make a V2 with a different handle, I hate this one), and it has everything it needs :)

K first entry for me, second will be... more EVIL :evil:

My mug post. I live in Europe, so I'm not too familiar with this week subject: we use little coffee cups and drink a very strong coffee blend.
I tried to obtain a smooth and polished shape, maybe too simple?

[3Dvirus]

Fastral tnx for the tip i am always in a hurry and i forget something :P i changed my post and aded a wireframe(no modifications to the model).xcessi realy love the martian mug :P

[pepperoni90]

You have proven your intelligence and your ability to grasp events "one time too many" for me to personally take you serious.

Black

thanks, i'm sorry if my intelligence puzzles you.

[Thykka]

I live in Europe, so I'm not too familiar with this week subject: we use little coffee cups and drink a very strong coffee blend.
Living in Europe is no excuse for being unfamiliar with coffeemugs :D
There are many countries in Europe where coffee is not a synonym for espresso.

[Jera]

Hi this is my first entry this week, maybe the next model will be a bit more complex ;). Modeling time was about 20 min and render took 2min. Max6 + vray.

[hammering3D]

Délé - tnx again, hope u'll enjoy my future models to.
Retro - glad U like it and found it fun, cause that was my intention, to make something that produce smile :D an make people happy.

[RefeeZ]

lo again,and here is my 2nd entry and my 2nd post also:P u can im brave cuz im postin ****s like my 1st and this but its almost all about fun:D

And btw – Giving you a full version of a 3D application is not safe for the rest of us,
so we all pitched in and baught the postman away from your house, lol...

haha If i where you i'd ask for my money back cos he delivered it this morning... YIPPEE..

[hammering3D]

andoy -hehe great, now I hope it will rain with models from U :D

[Sidaho]

OK. I decided to do the mug that's usually right beside me while I model. It's not a coffee mug - it's a tea mug because I'm English!

There have been some great entries in the last few hours and I'll try to put some comments up for a few of them later, but now I've got to go watch the England v Wales World Cup Qualifier (and drink tea from my Bugs Bunny Mug!)

[Retro]

Jera- Nice model !! I like the render, very smooth.
Sidaho - Yeap Bugs is a classic !!

Marty_mcfly: haha crazy mug

Antievo: thx. clean render in your entry

deto: nice render!

My fourth entry. Everyone have already done really nice normal mugs and character mugs so I go for abnormal, I wanted to do a mug that when you see it the first thought in your mind will be WTF is that ugly thing?

[Agamemnwn]

Ok second entry for me. metallic beer bug with glas removeble interior. hope u like it . it was the first time i tried to put something 3d in a real background so be gentle. ( took me ages to do it and get the lights and everything) . c&c always welcome

[3Dvirus]

Tnx Moe's,hope to see one from you real soon

[3Dvirus]

Wow OmegaN you mug is so cool :D how the hell did you model it? :P , Agamemnwn like you model too especialy the handle...the texturing on it is great to

[hammering3D]

OmegaN - tnx for u'r nice words, I trought I start it :D, but then I see some nice caracter mug befor my post, so I'm free from hole now :)
and BTW verry nice entry form U to, original and nice modeled and rendert.

I actually have a great Concept for a MUG and i already started, will post it in a while. you will like this one 3D Viruse

[fastrak]

I must say I'm impressed with the variety of concepts, both new and old, and the care taken to what some might assume as a simple subject. Very creative works here and the care taken in presentation keeps getting better and better. I have especially enjoyed seeing the works of some of the members that have been around for a few challenges. Your improvement in modeling skills and even texturing/lighting has increased dramatically, in my opinion. Keep it up, everyone. Good Job.
And for all the new members to the forum, it's great to have you with us and I look forward to seeing more and watching you grow.

Fastrak

[D_Money]

Heres another entry
C&C welcome

[xcessi]

Agamemnwn Love your model.. I thought of doing one like that, or somethng like a kings mug with gems.. but it would ahve been to difficult... keep up the good work...
only one thing. can you make the image of the textured mug a little larger.. it's a little difficutl to see the details...

[Moe's]

OmegaN your design is simply wicked. great job

[fish]

thank you RideStowe

[Square]

Hi all, first post on this forum :wave:

Been looking in this forum for a long time now, and I've been very facinated by theese speed modeling challenges, so I decided to give it a try for once.

And here it is.. my MUG :crazy:

[Square]

Moe's, nice model man. I was about to model something like that just now :eek:
good thing i didn't :kiss:

[Moe's]

Square, Thank you I appreciate it, loved your first entry, beautiful render.

[artecnl]

wow, moe, nice mug to colorfull :D goood

[Moe's]

artecnl your a great designer & this coming from you is something i treasure.
thank you

[Phoboss]

moe's................ lets say that is not the best post i've seend

[Sidaho]

OK folks, I'm not in the mood for typing 'Nice model/Great render' over and over tonight, so I'm gonna do it a different way.

I've had a look through from the beginning, and these are my top twenty entries so far.

So, if your picture appears below, Sidaho would like to say, 'Nice model, Great render!'

[Moe's]

sorry for the delayed reply phoboss, i appreciate the honesty. thank you

[xcessi]

Sidaho Great Idea.....

Maybe at the end of the week, we can all post our own top 10...
I like this idea..

[Whitewidow]

Here my entry.....Hope you like it :evil:

[mizako]

I've been watching all these competitions a long time, but never really had time to do anything (or then I'm just too slow) so this is my first entry here..

This pint is my favourite one. I'm allways drinking beer from this. (well not in pubs)

Please tell your comments.

Nice to have you join our little community here. I would ask that you revisit the rules, especially the one about wireframes. Would greatly appreciate it...and I think you would too!

Phoboss: Contrustive critisism is usually best. If you dislike someone's entry... try to offer a suggestion on how it could be better.


Sidaho: Interesting method... how long did it take you? (Thanks By the way)

[fastrak]

Marty, You brought up a good point. Because many people have used this forum to improve their skills, good critiques really do help.

Also, for those of you that have gotten help, by way of tutorials or techniques or how-to's, let them know by giving them a rep point. And when you do, make sure you let them know why. It'll make them feel so warm inside (well maybe not, but it's a nice thing to do)

Fastrak

[KevinJW]

No one has ever commented on my stuff.. Ever. Kinda discurages me from posting, because I think people don't like my stuff.

Oke... I kind of promised something better. But again smoothing killed it ( :ugh: :grr: )... so a bit frustrated I made it into this.

It's... eeh .... kindda gone beserk / mad but I do grant you this laught :P :crazy:

The real good model will come soon.... I guese :P

ps. can someone point me to a good smoothing tutorial :???:

Sidaho: Interesting method... how long did it take you? (Thanks By the way)


Marty, it took about 20 minutes - definitely a once a week job!
Couldn't agree more re the above - so here goes! Moes, you can improve the quality of your shadow, which looks kinda blocky, by changing the size of the shadow map in the rollout for your shadow casting light. Go for a higher value, say 1024. There! Constructive criticism!

[hammering3D]

Hello this si Mug no.4 from me.

I was tired today, and want to have some fun, so I open max, open Marty clock program, and start modeling without references or without knowing what my mug will look in the End just know that I wish a model that croom will look good on it.
So it take me 45 min, but I plane it on the way after put one detaile I think hmm what it look best now, and so on.

The main part is a lathe, then convert to edit poly, then add details on it, some edge extruded and rotate, some poly extruded etc, even the legs are extruded from main part so thats way I not separate them in the wireframe.
On the top of the legs are some sphere with only 8 side, then convert to edit poly and chanfer the endge and mssmoot (I love how crom look on that caind of object with edges )
At the botom of the legs is and cilinder.
Then I cover the main part with Circles, I left only one in the wire to not make the wire to dense, cause ther are just circles.
The handel is made with splines then poly convert and extrude.
The 2 little square in the wireframe, make the transition betwen main part and handle in the Unseparated model.

hope U like it.

[Whitewidow]

Sorry, missed that bit. Just updated it :)

[fastrak]

No one has ever commented on my stuff.. Ever. Kinda discurages me from posting, because I think people don't like my stuff.

Don't get discouraged. It can happen. But I'll give you a little tip on how to get comments. Pretty easy.

First: Ask for them....I know it seems silly, but ask specifically for what you want.

Second: Comment on others. I have noticed that you have not posted any comments to other peoples work here in the challenge forums. We all like feedback, good or bad. And sometimes the best way to get them, is to give them. But try to make it as constructive as possible.

Third: Many may not comment on posts that are not entries. In this challenge, your said it wasn't an entry. Strive to make sure what your entry has met all the rules, and you may start getting some feedback.

Hope it helps, and hang in there....now, let's see another entry :)

[melania]

my first mug. hope i have enough time to do at least one more.
software: 3dsmax 7
modeling: 40 min.
rendered with vray

[Moe's]

sidaho, thank you for your tip, but i do know that, the problem is im using a pentium 3, and when i try to increase it morethan 300 , the render stops and says that there is no sufficient memory. so im trying qwith what i got, but appreciate the help.
hammering3D Sidaho & fastrak-3D any suggestion how i can solve it? Entry #406 page 28.
I welcome extra comments

[hammering3D]

Moe's - sugestion to solve what ?, the shadow's ?, what render did U use ?
melania - Hehe I see that more Romanian coming on this forum's :D, Verry nice render, even the model is simple, with that render look realistc. Good job

[Moe's]

Hammering3Dshadows, i use Omni Light and decrease the Bias & size from shadow map param to try to give it a realistic look. but it comes out like sidaho said bulky. maybe you could show me a new way to use, im still new at this.

[pecenipicek]

well, here is my entry, i hope it is a valid entry this time :lame:

[pecenipicek]

C&C welcome
werent glass mugs non-valid? very nice render BTW

[3Dvirus]

Melania very nice model and render...and it's great to see another romanian in the club :P...so Bine ai venit pe forum(welcome the the forum) and maybe you have an IM adress preferebly yahoo or msn if you do pls tell us it would be more the great to chat with you

[hammering3D]

Moe's - ok, I'm not so good, and verry rooky on shadows :(, my goals is to improve my modeling for now. But maybe this might help U, I see U use default scanline so try this.

-Make a box or plane under u'r model, put a standart max material on it with withe color.
-Arange the model nice to sit above the plane or the box, like on a table.
-Delet all light in the scene
-make a skylight, in the tot viewport and rise it up form the model.(live the setings default)
-make a target spot to drop in diagonal to the model,turn shadow ON, and chose shadow map (no change to it) go to Avanced Effects and unchek Difuse and leave only Spectacular. other setings leave default.
-go to avanced lighting in the render dialog an chose light trace (hope is stil there in max 7), make shure is active and the sky is ON. Leave the rest default.
-render the scene, but it will take a while on u'r P3, till about couple off mounts ago I use a P3 500mhz, Riva tnt2 32mb, 64 Ram. And almost all my models where presented like I was told U, with light trace and default Scanline.

Offcorse maybe other user they slap me because maybe this is a bad advice, but work nice for me. Let me know if work nice for U to :D.

This tutorial is not descovered by me, I read it long time ago and help me alot to present my models in a good decent way. But now I can;t find the source from where I read it, but if I find the source I post the link to the original autor.

[mim]

Hi!
Clean model melania, simple but nice, also in materials, render & view of camera very nice, thanks for it!

[3Dvirus]

Moe's i love the improuvement you made...it is a big change from you first entry...it's very original and i love the texturing...keep up the good work(sry for the late reply)

[mboi]

Moe's if your just looking to improve your rendering and your using Mental Ray in Max7 this Tutorial might help.

http://www.3dm3.com/tutorials/mr/

It's about HDRI not shadows but it gives you scene to work with and decent render settings.

Hope it helps.

as usual, noone comments mine :p

i wish for the c4d 9.5 to come out soon :D

I think it must come with a first aid kit :crazy:

[pecenipicek]

pecenipicek nice modelling very detailed but from a usability point of view very painful :)
not really, it would be very painfull if i turned the spikes upward :D

and i rerendered it in C4D 9.5 demo, i have to say it looks helluva lot better and is rendered in only 11 minutes, while i was playing with something else in the proggie :D

[fastrak]

Well, I'm procrastinating on my homework. So I thought I'd take a break and model the mug I have in front of me.
VERY plain and simple, compared to many of the entries here. But it does the trick for me.
It is insulated to keep the mug from getting warm with hot liquids, and prevents condensation with cold. Plus it can hold an entire can of soda with ice in one shot.

Just a lathe object for the main mesh and box modeling with the handle.
Lighting was done with GI and an hdri map.

Hello boys and girls!

Here I am with another mug.

I know that the handle is kinda odd, I need to improve some aspects of my modelling tecniques..
The handle took me most of the modelling time, but here it is.

Any comments are welcome. :cool:

[OmegaN]

Wow OmegaN you mug is so cool :D how the hell did you model it? :P

Thanks for the kind words. I started of with a cylinder then i just made some segments then extruded like CRAAAAZY =)

Hey, where did you get the star wars cartoon for your mug? Google it?

I pretty darn sure you need a lot more than that. How about software used, modeling time, wireframe and a bigger image would be nice.

BTW...Welcome to the forums. :)

[caag1]

Fastrak-3DT: it´s from the Clone Wars cartoon DVD..
U like it???
This thread is getting hot!!!!

[fastrak]

Ok, I gotta say something, and this applies to MANY people here.

WHY THE HECK ARE THE IMAGES SO SMALL!!!!!

Why are you not using the maximum image size available?!?!?!

Too many at 640 x 480 are coming in. Give yourself some credit people, and let us SEE your work.

800x600

let me type it again

800x600 or (600x800)

It is HIGHLY recommended you use this size to your advantage. Think of your portfolio, if anything. You all spend the time creating some truly wonderful entries, and you enter such a small image, it's hard to see. And will make judging that more difficult.
Man if I could, I would submit the size of the entire page, so the limitations of
800x600
should be used when you can.

and if the 100k file size limit that has you down. Let us know....many here, including myself, know the process that will keep you in limits and have a great entry.

I'd like to personally Thank Fastrak-3DT for his rant on image size! There's just too many small images... it makes judging all the more difficult. Keep that in mind fellas! :crazy:

Agamemnwn Beautiful, it is beautiful. greaaaaat

[fastrak]

Howdy Agamemnwn
Looks like you took the ranting and raving a little to seriously. Hate to tell you this buuuttttt.....this may be considered a double post .....and your image is just a bit on the very very large side.....I'm sure you catch my meaning.
(That is the same mug from your last post, right?)

[Clamps]

Agamemnwn very nice but two things no wire and the picture is bigger then 800x600 other then that :D


Moe's very nice strange design but thats what make it good :D tiles on the floor i like to.

[pecenipicek]

mwahaha!!! all my pics are 800x600 at least, 640x480 is for test renders, if for that :D

[3Dvirus]

Clamps nice model and i think it's a good render...Moe's it;s nice to see that you are working hard this is a good model too and the render has improuved very much since your first post...so what can i say other then congratulations.
Agamemnwn the model is great but what's with the weird shadow?

[Moe's]

Clamp thanks, love your entries too, 3Dvirus your the MAN.

[Agamemnwn]

I forgat to difine that this was NOT AN ENTRY. its was only to show to xcessi the modell before the compositing in the picture.. the modell is in the second entry i made. You know me fastrak i never made a double post or broken the rules of the challenge. :D :D :D

[3Dvirus]

tnx Moe's :P

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Agamemnwn: If you wish to share your works in that manner, start a new thread in the WIP section of the forums. This should mainly stay a place for entries. Seeing as how you've already posted that particular model in a previous post as an entry... this post will be considered a double post. But, if you take it down now... no harm... no foul. :)

[Agamemnwn]

didnt mean to make it a double post . it was just to show to xcessi the model as he asked for it. I'm sorry for the trouble. the post is deleted :D

[cara-rj]

Clamps - Thank you for the comment. I like your metal mugs with the mug stand.

Sidaho - Thank you sir. I'd say both of your models and renders look very clean. Nicely done!

Moe's - The render looks much nicer I think. Good work!

[Moe's]
