PAQUITO: To keep from getting a DQ for double posting... I'd suggest that you put that image up in the 3D Completed Works section and then put a link up to it here.

On a side note... Cool Hat! :)

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

cptslog: You do know that you can make as many entries as you'd like right? Just thought I'd mention it in case you didn't know. :)

Ok great i'll post another up later, just need some thinking time - so many entries its difficult to go with something different :)

[mboi]

adamos really nice, plenty of detail in the mesh.

[Délé]

ROFL, ROFL, Marty.......I'd love to hear you and Fastrak singing a song like that.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

That was not an entry.
Thx.

Trust me... I completely understand that... but I was disqualified for a challenge for double posting an entry, and I only posted a close up of a small detail. It wasn't even the whole model! I just wanted to avoid the same thing happening to you.

Tribute to New Orleans

I was fortunate to visit New Orleans and the surrounding area just a couple of months ago. I had wandered into a little art shop and saw a rack of replicated old product labels. All Louisiana or New Orleans products. I really like the old style of graphic art, so I decided to buy a dozen of them. As I was straightening my home office this morning, I ran across them in my "things to do" pile. Struck me that the little art shop and all the wonderful original and replicated pieces are no more.
So I sat down this morning, modeled the mug that had my morning coffee in it, and decided to use some of those old labels and wrap them on my mugs.

The result is here. Not very fancy, but was'nt suppose to be. My own little tribute to all that was lost.

info on the pic

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

What can I say Fastrak... Simply Wonderful! I wish everyone from there the very best!

[smallpiece]

Quite a simple one, just Lofted splines, a few of which were modified...alot of the time was spent tweeking the handle.

[Villane]

great touch there fasty, I think everyone over here in England (and most of the world for that matter) are suddenly realising just how destructive Katrina was for the Gulf Coast! Still maybe that shop and contents survived by a miracle...you never know!

V

[mboi]

Fastrak the news is just terrible and my heart goes out to everyone effected by Katrina but Villane is right, you never know.

I have plenty of colleagues around the Louisiana area, I hope they are all OK.

Here's my last entry for the week, I have plenty of proper work to do tomorrow.

[3Dvirus]

Hey! Sry no comments tonight but i am realy tired just managed to finish another model...so sorry again i promise i will look tomorow at all you entries.Mine is a simple one...hope you like it
Modeling time 50min
Texturing 2 hours
Software:3ds max 6+brazil r/s

Good Night see you all tomoworw

[voodrew]

Pecenipicek - Now, Post #431 deserves comments:
Very nice design. Original even. The render is top notch.
Unfortunately, the detail on the body of the wireframe is a little hard to see. I was hoping to be able to see how you did the ripples in the body.

Let's see more work.

[DT_art]

One more entry from me. I think I need to spend more time on modeling and less on setting up the renderer.

[sculptorwanted]

Watch your mouth on this one.

[JYoder]

Hi,
This is my first speed modeling challenge. Hope I have presented it according to the forum rules.

[TiskO]

Ok, i've had enough. Im tired, just finish my milk, and now going to bed.

Oh yeah, my render:
- modelling: 4 minutes
- texturing: 10 minutes
- rendering: 2 minutes 28 seconds

[fastrak]

JYoder:
Welcome to the forums. All looks good by me. Hope we see more from you.

TiskO:
Before you go to bed...please state the software you used. Thanks!
oops...almost forgot....need a wireframe too!

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Fun fun fun!

[TiskO]

sorry everyone. 3dsmax7 and vray

Here is my wireframe

[EpoPisces]

So. . .<gasp> . . .many. .<pant, pant> . . .entries! Mouse scroll wheel. . .<wheeze> worn out . . . aaaaaaah!!!!! 48 new pages of posts since I last checked in (I wuz away from pc for a while, on vacation).

Welcome to all the new members (how many this week? 3? 4? more?)!

Tisko : you need to include the wireframe as part of the original post. Make it 600 x 800 (a la Fastrak) and add the wirframe in there. Nice mug btw!

Moderators, good luck judgin THIS beast. 53 pages already. . .

Just a thought but you may want to divide the posts up somehow, whether by experience (how many years modeling, for example) or software used (while the MAX users would have more competition, also more feedback and help from each other. . .in theory), and give each a different prize section.

I dunno, it probably won't work (plez don't leap down my throat for suggesting it XP), but this shows signs of becoming unmanageable. I mean, so many entries to be judged, and many weeks not yet even judged from b4. Marty and Fastrak will help alot, but. . .well, I feel sorry for you guys lol. You have your work cut out for ya!

[fasth]

Anyone have a smart solution for this?
manual editing :nod:

I too am amazed at how quickly this is catching on. Then again, having spent time here it's not hard to see why. I think it's nearly tripled since I started back on week 53. :eek:

My guess would be if it keeps growing at this rate they might at some point begin to impose a limit on the number of entries each person can submit. But then again, I can't read the moderators minds.......yet.

[mboi]

Oh and btw mboi, Your latest entry is wonderfully rendered! Is the floor texture on TotalTextures cd:s? if so, which one?

Thank you, It was from the web, can't remember what site but there are plenty out there just google...

[TORNADO]

Hey here is my second one.Nice models everyone.

[Design]

fasth thanks for that tutorial, it worked fine but the problem is i dont have blur lense, guess old photoshop, still i managed, BTW this is Moe's.

[Yedan]

Not being very artistic has its draw backs when it comes to making something as normal as a mug look err well interesting, with that in mind my entry is not very spectactular but i felt i had to atleast put an entry in :) so here it is.

[RideStowe]

*sneeze*

[mboi]

Bless you!

[3Dvirus]

Tnx dmelero,we all all beginers at some time....but you entry is pretty realistic for a beginer especialy the tha fabric...very nicely done
Clamps be my guest and teste it :P it's Nescafe Frappe:P
I also wanted to add some steam...but it didn't realy look good....does anibody know a good tutorial?

[mboi]

I also wanted to add some steam...but it didn't really look good....does anibody know a good tutorial?

Here's one about smoke but you have to study the differences between smoke and steam and adjust your setting accordingly

Have fun!

[3Dvirus]

mboi tnx very much...i'll try it imidiatly

[mjglennon]

I go camping for 3 days and every one gets mug happy on me!

Well there is a lot of realy great work here this week.

[Stormhater]

Hello all!

I have finally decided to start modelling something and stop just watching.
I have started to learn Blender just few days ago. I have no experience at all, so, basically, this is my first render :) (I mean of a model, because rendering cubes and spheres doesnt count ;) )

I hope it's not so bad for a first render and I hope I have done everything properly.

I have watched these threads (in the speed modelling challenge) for the last months and have been greatly inspired. There are trully awesome modellers here!

This week's thread is no difference - there are some amazing models and renders.

So, here is my simple model... (info on pic) Hope the light is good (it seems ok on this monitor).


***EDIT: :wall: not an entry, because i am stupid and there is no handle attached to my cup :) :wall:

[bobi]

I think we have a winner here: :roll:

modeling time:less then 1 hour (thrust me) :roll:

[bentura]

So many pages of great entries. well done peeps.

Am trying to get my model finished tonight but im having a bit of a fight with photoshop at the moment.

[cara-rj]

Stormhater,
welcome to Threedy Forum and to Blender Family ;P

For a first work, is really nice but, a mug needs a handle.
Model another one, you see that will be easier to make.

Any Blender doubts, ask anytime. :o

[3Dvirus]

wow Stormhater...my first render was some realy ugly thing...yours is pretty good but i don't think it's a valid entrybecause it has no handle(don't know if spelled it right)

[Stormhater]

That's bad... Stupid me! :wall:
I thought I have done everything properly...

Since I should not modify the mesh, I will wait to get a confirmation on that it is not a valid entry and will edit my first post to make it a no-entry :dunno: ...

Thanks for the reply, 3Dvirus. I really liked your last entry!

[DT_art]

Another entry from me.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

I too am amazed at how quickly this is catching on. Then again, having spent time here it's not hard to see why. I think it's nearly tripled since I started back on week 53. :eek:

My guess would be if it keeps growing at this rate they might at some point begin to impose a limit on the number of entries each person can submit. But then again, I can't read the moderators minds.......yet.

Imagine how much of an increase I've seen... I go all the way back to Week 4! :eek:

I thought I was doing pretty good so far though, I mean... I helped get 7 weeks judged in 2 weeks time. :( I only have a few more to go to getting us caught up... *sniffle* I mean... come on guys... *sniffle sniffle* I'm not doing that bad... am I? :cry:

[Radulan]

Stormhater. You can enter more than once. Nice bowl though. Since it took you 10 minutes and you have a whole hour I'm sure you can do another one that has a gret handle, but you do still need to start from a blank scene

Bobi: That last mug... it is so anti-complex. I'm sure it will win.. It just might flip the scales. :)

[subcrocodile]

subcrocodile:
I did not mean to frighten you.. :)
What do you mean about buying it? Buying the actuall mug? or the 3Dmodel?

.

actuall mug of course lol.


mboi
70's pirex mug is very nice and reminded me my ages of 6-7 that i saw them in my grandma's kitchen.. i liked ur work much.it should be done and u made it.

[H2O-3DT]

ah... :)

[EpoPisces]

Aw Marty, we forgive you. Don't know what you did wrong. . .but I hate to see a mad scientist break down. Better recover quick, otherwiz we might start calling you 'sad scientist' ( :crazy: ---> :cry: = :eek: ).

Speaking of too many entries, I haven't submitted one yet! Must hurry!

EDIT: oh yeah, just went to look at all the judging recently :eek: man you did a lot in a short time. Can't wait for week 58, XP

[twiddlefinger]

Hello everyone! Lots of entries this week, had a lot of fun looking through . Here is mine.

Thank you. I can remeber my Gran having the same mugs that's why I modelled them, I think they must have been standard issue world wide in the 70's :)

Marty Your doing a great Job with the judging keep it up..:)

How many new people that are so excited and happy to model and to chat, so nice, WELCOME ALL !!!

TNX to people that like my works U made me so happy. I hope I not mise a coment post or a question post that I not answer to it.
The pages come more and more that got me dizzy ;P
I actualy have other model but to tired to post, I'll post it later this day.

cubanboy - nice first entry, and a legal one EXCEPT the imge size, u must post 800X600 (600X800) rezolution.

Marty - I see a post before, tnx for recovering so much chalenges, and U'r doing a great job not only in sepped juding, but in CORECT judging to...so for my side GOOD WORK.

[EpoPisces]

Here is my one and only! As I stated once before, I like one normal and one wierd entry each week, but no time for 2 this time. So I of course chose wierd.

Introducing the Swiss Army Mug! This multifunction coffee container (ahem, not coffe cup) is one item no household should be without! Perfect for when you want to have a relaxing drink while working on uncountable houshold tasks (also has many secret underground laboratory applications). Buy one today (prices negotiable, but starting at $99.99 +tax. Please send to my (ahem) Swiss bank account) :smug:

[Sky_Eagle]

Great models and renders all !
My entry.

[Sky_Eagle]

Edited for content. This will be the only time I will warn you about language on these forums. Either act mature or your posts will be deleted!

Thanks,
Marty_McFly-3DT

[smallpiece]

Lots of great models still pouring in i see...great job everyone.

my second one...

[hammering3D]

no ;P, but is look right, nice render

[cubanboy]

The image compression is making my image look bad.
Can't you change it ?
To like 200 KB ??? Plz ?

what soft are you using for jpg compression?? or are you sending the image in other format like bmp? if its bmp, the image never will have less than 600 kb in 800x600 except grayscale

best regards

[shamohan]

Shamohan: Like your mug, especialy that one with coustics, but I think it will be naiser if you don't turn them all black and white. Try enstead to add a blue floor, and I think the better results you will get.

Dear Friend,

Thanks for your advise , i will try to do the same for best result, VRAY and caustics is a new leson for me, i will improove the same soon.


Thank you very much

Shamohan

[Radulan]

Shamohan: With all the entries flying around people are bound to miss commenting on one. I'm a bit envious of glass materials, because I'm not sure how to get blender to generate causitcs. I'm certain in many people's general comments "Nice models, and renders everyone." yours was definitey among them.

May modeling be effortless.

[RefeeZ]

Sky_Eagle: would u tell me plz,how did u make that drink (maybe coffee)?im quiet interested cuz it looks very very good,i'd do sthing like that l8r,thx;)

[Délé]

Marty_McFly - I had intended to, but forgot to mention in my last post ('doh) that you are doing a fantastic job with the judging and it is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the hard work sir.

A few last comments for this week:

3Dvirus - Wow. You've got quite a few mugs in this week. You might need to have a yard sale after this one. You've got some nice entries. Good work!

mboi - If all of your good stuff does indeed happen by accident, then it looks like you've had a few accidents this week. I like the your broken mug. Nice job! :)

H2O - You've got some nice entries this week. I really like the one with the snake head. Nice work!

smallpiece - I like your models and I really like your renders. That granular look in your textures looks very cool.

DT_art - Welcome. You've definitely some fine entries there. You may want to get a clear confirmation from the moderators if your post #691 is for certain considered a mug or not. When I look at it I kind of go back and forth between mug and jug myself. I just wouldn't want to see you get DQ'd for one possibly questionable entry when you have so many other very nice ones. :)

And to the many other great entries I didn't get to. Excellent work people!

[Lewiswale]

Model time 15mins using C4D and Paintshop. Old enamelled tin mug. Used to use these for camping and yes very hot to hold. So many entries wow

[Design]

Entry # 5, another weird one,BTW it is me Moe's.. Hope you all like it.


Modelling 3D MAx7 43 Minutes.
Vray Rendering & Textures almost 2 hours.

Comments are welcomed.

[fastrak]

murdock_dt:Welcome to the forums

TiskO: Perhaps I need you to read the rules again, and look at other entries. I'm sure you'll discover that seperate posts (wireframe and software) is not allowed and your entry will be DQ'd. So fix the situation quickly.


Moderators, good luck judgin THIS beast. 53 pages already. . .

I dunno, it probably won't work (plez don't leap down my throat for suggesting it XP), but this shows signs of becoming unmanageable. I mean, so many entries to be judged, and many weeks not yet even judged from b4. Marty and Fastrak will help alot, but. . .well, I feel sorry for you guys lol. You have your work cut out for ya!

Dont worry about us...we're gluttons for punishment (well, Marty is, being a mad scientist and all). Actually, this is one of, if not The, largest thread the challenges has seen. Plus, it's always nice to hear suggestions, but things will probably not change anytime soon.


Stormhater: Radulan is correct. Make as many entries as you like. Viewing your last, I would encourage you to do so. Looks nice, but not really fitting the subject.

twiddlefinger: It has been many, many weeks since the challenges last saw you. Welcome back.

Sir_Entity: Welcome to the forums.

cubanboy: Thankyou for your rapid response.

Design: Your were Moe's? Why the change?

[bentura]

Some cool models this week and some very inventive EpoPisces - Nice :smug:

And an old tin mug when camping. Ah cant do it without one.

My entry for the week is a bit lame i know but i wanted to get at least one in and this sprang to mind.

Messed up a bit with the rendering, wanted a clay model but it looked strange, the bump mapping for the cadbury letters didnt work. Changed the lighting from advanced light too 3 omnis and it came out pretty good i think though, albeit a mistake.

One question though. How do you use a picture with a transparent background in max? The transparent bit keeps appearing white.

Ah yeah the details.

Software : 3D Max 6
Modelling : 20mins (Most was the handle done in nurbs cos i cant get the hang of smoothing :shy: )
lighting / materials : an hour or so having a play
Rendering : 45secs

Peace ya'll

[Horus]

Hello all am new in thise speed moddeling.

Nice work so far from all of you.

[Design]

[Design]

Délé I alwais liked your models...you are some kind of a cg god for me :P
SubCroC why the change ? :P

[H2O-3DT]

Thank you Dèlè.
I thought this weeks subject would be hard to play with.
But it turned out to be a far more creative and fun subject then i thought.

Modelling time: 60 min.
Software:3Dmax.

[3Dvirus]

great ideea H2O i kinda wanted to make a phone mug :P but some other things came up...i realy like how the handle looks

[H2O-3DT]

Thank you 3Dvirus. But there is still time.. :) go for it. :dance:

[voodrew]

My entry for the week.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Hmm... Voodrew. That doesn't eactly look like... uhh... something I'd like to drink!

[voodrew]

Hmm... Voodrew. That doesn't eactly look like... uhh... something I'd like to drink!

Yeah... I was shooting for coffee or chocolate looking material and it turned out just a bit like blood, eh?

[Raymix]

i can not shut my mouth, people have such imagination :0

especcially i liked Sir_Render's cup. It reminded me sunday sunny day at pub... And your render looks so real :0

[DT_art]

Marty_McFly - I had intended to, but forgot to mention in my last post ('doh) that you are doing a fantastic job with the judging and it is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the hard work sir.

[EpoPisces]

Bentura: Ty, ty. Yours is well done, except that on a CRT monitor the bump map is a bit hard to read (would looks fine on the school's LCD flatscreens tho).

To all the new ppl: Ditto Marty's post. Sometimes madmen (beg pardon; Mad scientists :crazy: ) can say it best ;P .

H2O: love the design. Is there such a mug or was it pure brain juice on your part? Either way, nicely done (a pink version would be just the thing for my sister and mother :smug:)

Voodrew: 1 hr and 21 min Render! Huh, I must be doin something wrong :drool: (looks very very nice, love the lighting).

g3org3: Nice first entry, much better than my first lol. The plastic especially looks dead on.

3DSpirit: Quick question; is it plastic or another material? At first glance it appears plastic, but if you look close, cracks like porcelain are evident. Just wondering.


I just realized what is missing in so many of these high-detail renders; the shadows! Makes things kinda look like they are floating. Just something to think on, I didn't have many critiques for the pics I saw, so I figure mebbe a group critique (it goes for me too, I have no shadow. . .a la Peter pan ;P )

EDIT: wow 2 posts while I was writing this.
RideStowe: Hilarious! <sees Marty walking his way> I mean uh. . .uh. . .terrible, inconsiderate of moderator and all that. Shame, shame. <giggles conspiratorially with RideStowe after Marty passes by>

Raymix: Welcome! Very nice for a first post!

[Black]

Raymix;
If you would just change your rendered material to porcelien or pewter or something simiallar it would prevent you from loosing your shot at this week.

I know that it is a modeling competition and not a texturing one. But in the state it is in even though your wir suggests a perfectly acceptable mug, the material just converts it to a sturdy tankar with a handle.

Good luck

EpoPisces:
I wish i could take credit for the phonemug consept. But alas, it was a trip on google that gave me the idea. :)

[cptslog]

Ok heres my second go at this, textures are based from a logo i made for an online gaming clan im part of.

Cheers, looking good everyone.. so many entries this week!!

[voodrew]

[QUOTE=EpoPiscesVoodrew: 1 hr and 21 min Render! Huh, I must be doin something wrong :drool: (looks very very nice, love the lighting).
[QUOTE]

1. What are your rendering times? I searched some of your past models and you don't mention the time. Are they higher, or are you being sarcastic? I know that 80 minutes is excessive, but there are times that I get 5 minute renders, depending on the lights, caustics, GI, etc.
2. I learned the lighting by watching the other posts and Fastrak mentioned 3 point lighting. Blur Studios has a 3DS Max Script that will automatically put the lights in the right places. Then, someone else mentioned HDRI. I use both methods and tweak lighting to get the best effect I can.
3. You're right. You need the shadows. Little things like that make the brain go "oh, that's fake".

Thanks for the encouragement.

[RxExpress]

raymix: i noticed your mug isnt smoothed....select every polygon except the very bottom one, scroll to the bottom of the modifiers list, and then select autosmooth.

[balukat]

lot of great models this week.
this is my first entry for this week.
c/c always welcome

[mjglennon]

Well last one form me this week.

Modeling in Maya 6.5
Render in mental Ray
Modeling time 40 min. (had a hard time with the shield. Ended up redoing the shield)
Texutring 60 min.

[Sydney075]

Firefly - Thanks for the welcome way back on page 3 :P guess I'm a little slow on this, but I am trying to work this board into my regular rotation.

Well here is my second post on these forums and my second in this speed modeling comp. Thought of one like this when I made my other one, but only just now got around to doing one. Man have a used a mug like this many a times on campouts.

[bentura]

[QUOTE=EpoPisces]Bentura: Ty, ty. Yours is well done, except that on a CRT monitor the bump map is a bit hard to read (would looks fine on the school's LCD flatscreens tho).

Oh yeah, never realised theres that much difference between TFT and CRT displays (apart from the obvious). It also looks a bit pixely on my work PC, buts thats just the resolution i think. Cheers for the crit.

[Old_Nick]

Cptslog: very good entry, I like the texture you made.
well done !

PS: I'd like to drink my coffee in that mug

[Sjimmie]

My first post in this forum, but man it's been fun.
In case you were wondering, Ajax Amsterdam is the greatest football club... ever (in my humble opinion, that is :haha: ).

[fredconv]

hi :) here s a second entry

my first one was a cup ^^' sorry not a mug
here the right one, made in maya with nurbs revolving and render with mental ray using an hdri image base lightning :)

[Vhector]

Sjimmie, nice, clean model, but an ugly picture ;). Feijenoord, Feijenoord... lalala (sorry for doing another song then one from McFly)

[smallpiece]

smallpiece - I like your models and I really like your renders. That granular look in your textures looks very cool.

Thanks Dele, appreciate the comment :)

There have been alot of great models this week, its good to see the different creative touches that people bring to a seemingly obvious subject..great work everyoune..

[Sjimmie]

Vhector, hahaha, I should've known there would be one of you guys around.

[TORNADO]

Hey every1.Great models so far.Sjimmie wellcome to the forum, great model from you!
fredconv nice one too.Keep up the good work.

Now here is my 3rd and maybe last entry for this week.I thought alot to think for a texture for the mug and I decided " Why not make a modern mug with some ancient stuff in it.So I put this ancient celtic cross this would be a good mug for some collector. SO here it is:

[JAC]

Hi all,

Good to see so many new people, and so many great mugs!!!! awesome :)

Couldn't resist doing one more (ok actually two, another post coming in a sec). This is of a coffee cup I have at home as well, hope you like it!

Software: 3DMax 7
Modelling time: 54 minutes

Note: had to scale back the jpg quality to get in under 100k

[JAC]

Hi again :)

Ok, I did this one yeaterday and nearly didn't post it but decided since I had finished it I would (I am not overly happy with the handle).

This model was going to be finished with time to spare until I started the handle, then it all went horribly wrong! really glad I left the handle to last otherwise it wouldn't have got finished. basically as time got way short had to reload the version I saved just before starting the handle and made a new one (very simple handle as a seperate object).

Anyway this was an armored mug, hope you like it :)

Software: 3DMax 7
Modelling time: 60 minutes

Note: had to seriously scale back jpg quality to make this one fit!

[Raymix]

EpoPisces - thank you so much, i appreciate that
Black-3DT - I am very sorry for that, becouse of my english i didnt quite catch what exactly to make. I will replace texture today after work, ok? i wanna be a part of competition :-)

[3Dvirus]

If you are reading this message it means the inevitable has happend...the alien mugs have started their invesion....i am captured abord their spaceship...i have managed to make a quick render with 3ds max 6 in 30 min modeling
20 min texturing final render 2h 17min.Please help me and save the world.Good bye

[Raymix]

very great looking mug 3DVirus. Never noticed that from simple, but patience taking, low poly you can make such interesting render. Placing more of them together makes image look even more interesting. Awesome work

*take a look closer inside your mugs, i think you've got them holes when you messhoothed inside of mug. i am not professional in this, but this is my opinion

[3Dvirus]

tnx Raymix i saw that problem...but i was to tired to repair it...and the render took 2hours 20 min so...i didn't want to do it again :).Besides i'm so bored of doing mugs i count the hours until the deadline :)

[mboi]

3Dvirus go to you Brail render settings, open the Brazil Luma Server, scroll down to sample control and increase your view rate. it'll help get rid of those little bucket size squares on you renders.

[Sky_Eagle]

@ Marty : srry for the post , yesterday is was real angry about it :p srry :(

@ Cubanboy : i compressed the file with photoshop and saved it as a Jpeg.
I needed to take qualty 5 i think. (max is 12 )

@ Refeez : Its just a photo from coffee i found on the net. (i don't drink coffee ) and used that as my color map. and then made a cylinder and aplied the map to it.

[3Dvirus]

mboi it is set to min samples 1 max 2 but the image was very bit so in photoshop i had to set it to 4 in jpeg convertion...so thats why it looks so bad

[smallpiece]

3Dvirus- just thought i'd point out that if you use the 'save for web' option you tend to get better a quality compression for the file size.....saving as a jpeg, then compressing seems to reduce the quality quite dramatically in comparison..

[3Dvirus]

smallpiece thanx for the tip i'll try it in my next render...

[voodrew]

Here is my second. Another simple one. This one started out as a Lathed Spline, but was converted to Editable Poly to add the handle.

[mboi]

mboi it is set to min samples 1 max 2 but the image was very bit so in photoshop i had to set it to 4 in jpeg convertion...so thats why it looks so bad

I'm talking about the sampling control of your Direct Illumination, trust me it'll help. I first noticed it on your post #766 (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showpost.php?p=380514&postcount=766)

[RefeeZ]

Sky_Eagle:thx a lot,and i say again u made a good work with that too it looks gr8 in ur mug!

[3Dvirus]

ok mboi i'll try

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Sky_Eagle: No problem, apology accepted. :) By the way, Smallpiece gave a better way to save your images as .jpg files in Photoshop a few posts above this one... but I think you have to have at least version 7 or higher. (CS is version 8 and CS2 is version 9) Try it out... it gives much better control over the quality. :D

[Sky_Eagle]

Thx refeez.
Thx marty
can i edit my post ?

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Thx refeez.
Thx marty
can i edit my post ?

Sure... as long as no changes are made to your model.

last of this week.

[Sky_Eagle]

Posted the new file :)
Thx for the help fellas

Sub like always ,Very nice, render & texture, the model is elligant too

[Raymix]

tnx Raymix i saw that problem...but i was to tired to repair it...and the render took 2hours 20 min so...i didn't want to do it again :).Besides i'm so bored of doing mugs i count the hours until the deadline :)
heheh, i understand you

andrei, its very good for start, much better than mine oviously, good job
and welcome here

*btw service pack 1 on decal, hehe

[Vhector]

rulez jah

check the rules andrei313, a wire and programme you use...tss o my, me an idiot,.. obvious max

[EpoPisces]

Sorry Voodrew, I was being a little sarcastic. My bad, I'll try not to do that in the future. But I was honestly wondering why many ppl have 1 hr + rendering times, if they were perhaps using some software or something that I don't have. Or maybe using settings with Mental Ray that I am not. My renders, even with Mental Ray, never exceed 5 min, and I wondered a bit. I use the default (Maya 6.5 mental ray plugin) settings, render at 800x600, with 2-3 point lights. What settings do you change? Or is it a hardware issue perhaps (I have a GPU, but didn't think it counted that much for render time)?

Oh, and for other Maya users (I imagine it would work with other programs as well but am not sure) here is a quick trick I found to get nice looking soft lighting without using mental ray. Set up an array of directional lights and also 1-2 point lights, or spotlights if you prefer. (NOTE: the attached pic shows the array of directional lights, one at each vertex of a 8 isoparm squashed Nurbs Sphere and 8 lights at the top vertex, and all pointing towards the center). Rendered in Mental Ray there are strange artifacts, but in the maya software render it looks excellent; see attachment.

I have the lights intensity set a little too high, but you get the idea. You can also tweak the various directional lights to create a global illumination effect; all the lights from one direction are a light blue low intesity to simulate light bouncing off a blue wall for instance.

[andrei313]

Ops... I forgot about the the wire... :cry: Sorry. I don't have the file now. I'll change the attachments tomorrow. :hurt:

[caag1]

well.I´m so glad to participate in my first Speed Modelling Chalenge.
It was so funny.Now I´m waiting for the winners and for the next week chalenge.
I´m sure that I´m going to participate

Andrei - tomorow it will be to late, cause the comp end today :(,

[andrei313]

Hmm... Forgot about that too... :wall: I guess I'll modelet it again :halo:

[SubCroC]

Sub like always ,Very nice, render & texture, the model is elligant too


thank u for comment,i appreciate ur words.i looked at ur last one the halloween pumpkin work is very nice.modelling has been made very good ,if u make smooth iterations higher it'll be great.

andrei313

welcome to forum,u've stepped here with a nice job.

the new challenge is about to begin i think.

[SubCroC]

epopisces

u've mentioned the about other ppls' renderin time takes longer.may i ask ur computer properties.u've taken the render in 4 seconds with maya.is that about the program's ability to take render times short or the computer processor's speed?.

[hammering3D]

Hello ppl.

Here is my 6# mug :)
It's a bit strange, but have fun tinking at it and model it, it's lieke a office(desk) mug.
It have drawers that U can keep u'r bags off coffe and sugar, and in the top drawer U have some spot to keep cigaret <<vizible better in the zoom render and in the wire (in the wire is the loong bar a half cilinder with a hole, from the top of the zoom image)>>
To keep the drawers in the mug when drink from it, the drawers have lokers. (vizible in the zoom render, and in the wire)
The hole of the mug is until the drawers so U not flood the drawers.
The mug is made from a light material for eassy lifting.
The plate is a little special, cause U put it in the mug, the mug have the hole to conect with the plate.

It's simple and strange but hope u'll enjoy it. :roll:

[andrei313]

Here is what I should have done the first time. It turned out better this time :o

Modelling: 5min

[hammering3D]

andrei313 - U'r right is much better this time I really like the model and render, and U have an unsmoot clear wire.
BUT BUT BUT !!!
1) ...
2) U must state in THE SAME POST, the Software U USE, I think is better to do that even If U have it on the MUG.
3) U must DELET u'r old post without the wire. number #886

[ThaTyger]

hammering3D I love your model here. It seems a bit unpractical, but atleast you are being original / inovative :) I love your other renders too. That material + lightning is great!

About that render time. Simple fact is that 3D Studio Max render SLOOOOOOW!! It doesn't supports GPU's, and even with a killer cpu it's still hard to get a nice render fast :( Mental Ray is faster then basic scanline, but still takes a while to get your picture. It might be that maya has a killer render engine, in that case I'm going to export all my models to it to render :P

Nice models to all, though it's ashame only little people do crazzy stuff with mugs, loads of standard mugs :( (kudo to the onces that do make fancy stuff)

On to the next challenge :) Can't wait!

[xcessi]

hammering3D I like your office (desk) mug :)
I could see my self keeping a lot of stuff in those litle drawers.. coffee in the top, herbal tea in the middle..

very nice...

Everyone Nice work from everyone.. Even though I am fairly new myself, Welcome to all the new members...

Hoping to get in another model before competition closes....:)

[3DSpirit]

Wow!

Really cool entries.Must say I'm impressed.

I promised that I will modeled one more mug,but unfortunatelly I got my time covered up with helping some friend of mine about his computer so i didn't manage to do it.

Hope the one I posted yesterday will be enough. :)

O yeah the material is PORCELAIN (sorry if I spelled it wrong).

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

[dudeman]

ugh, let the next competition start.. i hope it will be a more.. interesting subject this time. a mug is just too primitive to make something hilarous with, considering the "rules" of it still being a mug.

[hammering3D]

ThaTyger - tnx alot, I think it was funny ideea, and I model it :), I glad that U like it :D

xcessi - heheh tnx, I think It's useful for many people ingluding me ;P

[spel]

helo, its my first post in challenge
it's my "cat cup" :)
my soft: max 6

[sasser]

My first real moddel:
3d studio max 7 Moddeling 47 min. Texturing 5 min. Render 32 sec.
Full size: Klik here! (http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mug1ij.jpg)

[H2O-3DT]

Hello and wellcome spel. Cool catmug.

sasser. Wellcome to you too. nice work. Btw. Is that the unsmoothed wire?

[hammering3D]

asser - U must atach the image here like all other user do, u must state the software U use for modeling, U must have an image no biger that 800X600 rezolution.
and if U can put an unsmoot wire.
BTW nice render and model.

[xcessi]

Spel nice texture.. did you make it yourself or was it download from the net?

[Desperado]

hi

only had some time at the end of the challenge. had not much time to think what i would do, so i just made an evil mug (maybe for maya users :dance:)

its turned out kinda big, so it has two handles. i dont know if thats still a mug, if not feel free to delete :)

[RideStowe]

beautiful render, andrel!

[Design]

Nice Desperado, Very Funny

[H2O-3DT]

Cool one Desperado...
One thing i would worry about if i bought that mug. My 10 year old dishwasher would have had a blast breaking of the details.. :)


Doh... i`v done it again... Did one speed model and got hooked.... :)
And on top of that, 22 gmt is about 00:00 where i am... And work awaits tomorow.. :) Bring on the next subjet allready... :haha:

[cptslog]

Good Luck to all, plenty of entries this week! - looking forward to the next contest, hopefully something which leaves the subject slightly more open :)

[pogmothointus]

Here is my beautiful cup made for two people to drink at the same time. It can be used in couples counseling or to improve teamwork. lol. I changed it Thanx for the memo.

[RefeeZ]

Desperado: i fall in love when i saw ur model,smooth,nice textures,nice render also...lemme see more! :lurve:

[bobi]

Hahaha...
Pogmothointus, very original idea.
I give you 10.

[cubanboy]

Here is my second post, at last i can render with max and vray again :smug:

[hammering3D]

pogmothointus - Verry nice and original ideea, but glass mug are NOT acceptable, so U better render with a non transparent material.
U have about 55 min til the end of competition so hurry UP,
But if U do that , not tuch the modeling and just rendering, and state in the reason of EDITING (change the render), and edit U'r old post replace only the image, DON't double post it.

[SubCroC]

pogmothiontus
lol.doctors were thinking how to create equips for 2 headed ppl.

[ApuNahasapinape]

cool models&renders every1, really,
so, its whensday 23:37 here, what time do forums run on?

[RefeeZ]

yo,i hope im im still in time:D this is my and maybe the last entry,hope u'll find u interesting:)

[hammering3D]

Now it's abou 21:39 GMT TIME...SO about 20 min to the end.
look every one at this link to see the gmt time:

Okay folks... Another week has come to an end.

The contributions this week was again amazing. The new week shall be up very shortly.

Good luck!

[ApuNahasapinape]

ok, now its finally over, my first speed challenge, weeeeeee



*no congrats necessary :D


P.S. to Black, its not over till iposted :D

[Design]

May the best man win...

[voodrew]

Sorry Voodrew, I was being a little sarcastic.

Don't worry about it. I am quite sarcastic too, but with so many different cultures on this forum, I had to ask so that there wasn't any misunderstandings (I even have a t-shirt that says "Tact is for people not witty enough to be sarcastic").

As for my render times, I don't use Maya and Mental Ray may be a faster render engine on that program (or may not be). The settings I use, for the most part, are the default, but I turn on GI, Caustics and Final Gather. With a lot of reflective parts this tends to have to do A LOT of thinking. I also render everything at 1536 by 1152 then bring the size down in PhotoShop. All this may account for the long render times. As you may have seen on my last render, my time came down by 2/3rds. I don’t think that I really did anything different, but who knows.

Just to give you a bit more to ponder, I have a room in the WIP section that took 23 hours to render.

Well, I’m off to model more. Later.

[Black]

Sorry Apu; I didn't know.

Please go on

[EpoPisces]

Voodrew: where can I get that shirt :haha: ?

For the ppl that are wondering, I'm using a AMD XP 2700+, 1 GB RAM, um. . .don't know if a GPU helps out on rendering (I know it does for display) but I have a 3dlabs 512 MB Wildcat VP Pro for a graphics card. Kinda stinks, cuz for an expensive card it doesn't play the latest games :wall: :roll: :haha: lol. Oh well, more time for work I spose.

If there are other specs u want to know just tell me (I think I got the speed ones, but am not sure).

Btw, Voodrew, I'm rendering right now with the specs you gave me, will let u know what time I get. Out of curiosity, what made you decide on 1536 by 1152? Is it a default in your program or for another reason?

Oops, post is kinda closed. Will repost in new one, moderators feel free to delete this one.

[Agamemnwn]

maybe thats why your render times are that low. try rendering in with a P III 450 384 mb ram with an ATi rage pro and then ask about render times. not everyone has a hardware rendering card EpoPisces :D

[EpoPisces]

Does the hardware rendering card really kick in for render times? I know it makes things such as Hardware Render Buffer (and therefore particle effects rendering) really sweet, but does it help with the software and mental ray renders?

Lol Agamemnwn, I blew my savings a year ago on this pc ;P

[dudeman]

what renderer uses your GPU anyways? where to get it and are there any resources on it? id really like to find out.

[ApuNahasapinape]

[Black]

And another week RideStowe for "Some" reason never even makes it to the judgings :eek:


:)
(And Apu mysteriously finds a texture CD in his mail-box!)

[EpoPisces]

Dudeman: my GPU acts as my video card, so any time anything is displayed on the screen it is at work. This means it really speed up things like particle display, etc. Also (and this is the best part) any screen grab-type form of rendering (such as Maya's Hardware Render Window---thats under Window>Rendering Editors>Hardware Render Buffer) is uber-fast compared to the standard accelerator's output. As the Hardware Render is the standard for rendering out particles, it is ideal for such applications.

On the other hand, these cards are EXPENSIVE. I bought mine just before I was about to go into school for Computer Animation, over a year and a half ago. I didn't know much about what I needed, or about video cards in general, and asked the guy assembling my pc what was the best. BAD mistake. I don't have the OpenGL programming know-how to use it to its full potential, nor do I often deal with a workload large enough to warrant anything near what it can do.

So I paid far too much for an awesome but overpowered card when a $300 one would more than have satisfied me. On the other hand, it introduced me to dual-monitors :dance:

If you really think you could use it (and one of the not-quite-so dazzling ones might actually serve you well) several companies sell them. Try www.3dlabs.com.

[Black]

You would be better off taking this topic to the discussion forums at this point if not the classified ads.

aww black <3 :D

[EpoPisces]

Sry Black, I edited it so all the <ahem> 'classified' stuff is gone. Stil, can't blame me for tryin eh? ;P

[dudeman]

heh, no need to explain to me how a GPU works.. ive got a 7800GTX :D
and i already had dual-monitor since my geforce FX5600.
i could even modify the drivers of the FX so ill have a Quadro.. but that decreases the performance in games, wich matters a bit more to me.

anyways, i dont use maya. but if you know any 3dsmax plugin that lets me use my GPU for rendering, that would be great.

And another week RideStowe for "Some" reason never even makes it to the judgings :eek:

[ApuNahasapinape]

are the winners gonna be announced or not?

[DT_art]

Marty said they'll be announced soon, he said he got some catching up to do.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

OR you could just let me win...

btw...
do you accept bribes? ive got this delicious Scotch Whisky my uncle imports ;)

Hmm... my second bribe so far... the first being some "schweet BBQ" by a member I will not mention. (RdieStwoe) Now... some Whisky. Too bad I'm not a whisky drinker, I perfer Rum myself... (Mmmm... Black Cherry Rum...) and at that... it's on very rare occasions. I'm noticing that food seems to be the perferred method of bribery here... so how about some home cooked Italian food... or Chinese? Those be my Favs! :D

As for you Apu... as I was brought into the judging game a bit late, I had much catching up to do before I even started. Your patience will be more than appreciated! Thou shalt not tempt thy Moderator's patience! :evil:

BTW, Thanks DT_art for helping... it's appreciated!

[ApuNahasapinape]

ok im pacient ;) keep in mind that i defended ur manhood :D

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

ok im pacient ;) keep in mind that i defended ur manhood :D

I'll remember that point. RideStowe will get what's coming to her. ;P

[RideStowe]

*giggles....well, like a little school girl i guess

[dudeman]

still no winners announced?

any indication on when they will?

[RideStowe]

patience young padawan, for haste is the path to the dark side.

[megadave2002]

The last week that I have seen winners posted for was week 56 (Firearms)
A few weeks all got winners posted on the same day (9-3 I think) so the mods are making good progress for sure.

[dudeman]

patience young padawan, for haste is the path to the dark side.

then the dark side it shall be.

[cubanboy]

So this challenge has been forgoten or what????

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

So this challenge has been forgoten or what????

All judging has been suspended until Hunter (my spider) and Titan (my hamster) agree to take equal turns in judging. Hunter feels that he should judge twice as many challenges because he has twice as many legs as Titan. This as you can imagine is a bit unfair... so I'm working on resolving the problem as I type this. Until then, there's free popcorn and fruit juice in the lounge. Enjoy. :)

[hammering3D]

Ohh why every time when somebody have more than 4 legs, they become selfish ohh ohh :shy: .

[ApuNahasapinape]

lol
marty whats the big deal, u just browse all the pages and download the images and scrool round and see whic is te most beautifull...........

[Black]

Hmm okay... noted down "Apu has been bad... and should be judged poorly on the results"... :)

Don't temp Marty!


Apu the guy has been very busy only for you lot... the week will be judged!
Just be a bit more patient.

And it is not JUST browsing through the pages...
Do a test and go through every page and download every image posted as an entry for the "Mug" week. You shall notice that even this without judging is a great time consumer.

Yeah, I'm sorry guys. I've recently injured my right wrist and have spent a little less time around my computer lately. I'm hoping to be healed up fairly quickly so that I may resume double clicking and typing without the actual pain part. :)

Wow, what can I say. The amount of entries this week were insane. This week was worse than last weeks challenge. As you'll notice, this list is a bit long... and believe me when I say that it was a lot longer so don't be too upset if you don't see your name on there now, chances are that if you had a valid entry... you were on it at one time or another. I actually enlisted the help of two other Moderators (who will remain nameless unless they wish to reveal themselves) to help get this done, if not for them I'd still be going through entries now. Congratulations to everyone who participated, and good luck in future challenges!

Wow! I was hoping to make it into the honorable mentions list for this weeks challenge. So when I saw this challenge had been judged, the first thing I checked was that list. My name wasn't on it, so I tought "oh well, better luck next time", only a minute or 2 later I saw I'm actualy a winner.... just great!!
Anyway, congrats to Smak money, the runners up, and all honorable mentions!

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Lol guys, you're giving me a good laugh today that's for sure. First of all, I must mention that the lists are not in the order you think they're in. So please don't think that if you're name is listed first then you're last, or if your name is listed last then you're first... it just not the case. There is a method to my Madness though... but it's honestly nothing special. Put it this way, if you're in that category... you're equal to everyone else in there. :)

As for you 3Dvirus, I'm not mad at you or anyone else... trust me! :D Ok guys, you can now continue modelling Jacks... or Jills... or uhh... hmmm... what was I saying anyway? :crazy:

[Smack Monkey]

Woohoo! It was a big field on this challenge with many worthy entries. Congrats Wdl and a hearty "Well Done" to all who made the list!

[Sydney075]

Grats to the winners and thanks for the honorable mention. I decided to do the camp mug on a whim and now im glad I did.
