Speed Modelling Challenge 67 - Shaver

[Black]

The rules are simple

1, Each week we'll post a subject for you to model along with a time limit on how long you should spend on it. Spend no longer than the allocated time then post a render of your model. No cheating, we are relying on your honesty here and the idea of speed modelling is to simulate a "real world" environment. If you are working on a project and asked to show a concept model you'll need to be able to get somewhere near the target in the allocated time. Your submission should be a model created especially for this challenge and not one you have stored on your hard drive.

How you interpret the brief is up to you as long as the final model conforms to what we have asked for. Any images of models that do not match the brief will be removed and the poster disqualified

2, You may enter as many times as you like as long as each model is completely new and uses no components from other entries. Entries using models which are not original will be removed and the poster disqualified

3, Your entry may contain as many views of your model as you like but it must include a clear and easy to see wire frame of the mesh before any smoothing/subdivision has been applied. Please use a screen grab. No other method is acceptable and any "wire renders" or wireframes we can't see properly will be removed and the poster disqualified

4, You must include the following details with each submission: software used and time spent creating the model. Any further information is voluntary but posts not containg the required information will be removed and the poster disqualified.

5, Post only one image submission per entry which must be no larger than 800x600 pixels in either landscape or portrait format with a file size of no more than 100k. These images must be uploaded to our servers using the "browse" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images Files. larger than the maximum size or posts containing links to external images (other than for reference materials) will be removed and the poster disqualified

6, time spent on rendering or texturing or building a scene in which to display your model is not included in the alocated period to allow those with slower machines to participate on an even playing field. What we are looking for is the quality of the models you can produce "under pressure". If your model is not complete, you can still post as long as it's recognizeable.

These rules apply to everybody taking part there will be NO exceptions


This weeks challenge;

Time limit - 60 minutes
Deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 12th of Oktober 2005
Subject - Shaver

This time we are going to allow a bit more to the concepts literal meaning.
You ARE expected to be able to visually remove hair (Facial OR body) from the individual or victom.. the fun bit is that we are not limiting it to depilation. You can epilate and depilate the hair off the body.

For those that don't know the diffrence: creams or razors physically cut the hair close to the surface (depilation) as when a SilkEpil pull's out the hair from the body (Epilation).

A simple starter that I refferenced from HERE (http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store_detail.html?s=G142).
Modeled and textured in MaYA
Rendered via MentalRay
Put together in PShop

[TheWinterLord]

haha nice topic! lets see if this week will match last weeks great entries!

[SubCroC]

nice subject.i think electrical things r included to be done.but i'll prefer a primitive kinda.:)

[TheWinterLord]

hERE is my first entry! cool model i think hehe. It is made with box modeling and then smoothed. I would want one of these! (original design hehe)

[Orkron]

TheWinterLord...nice model, but you have 40 more minutes to add detail...It's nice being the first to post an entry but it would be even better if you utilized all the time given to you: Happy Modelling.

[Radulan]

(sung to the theme of gilligan's island)
just sit right down
and you'll get a pluck
The pluckbot sure and quick
you'll be so hairless when it done
Your girls will be the pick...

[Orkron]

Well this certainly isn't my best work. I'm not feeling
too creative this evening. I think tomorrow I'll try a
detailed electric (mine).
modelled in max 6
rendered in vray
time taken 36 minutes

[artecnl]

hi guys good night, i dont know if i can do electrical shavers, please someone tell me, i did this with a reference image. hope you like it cheers :D

[Makonde]

wow already great models.... and four on the first page, i'm excited about what else i'll see this week. good luck to all :)

[Jor-Dan]

Wow art, that REALLY makes me wanna buy lightwave 8... and learn it better lol I have 6.5 still.. :P

I'm trying to decide whether or not to get 9 or get 3dsmaxmayathingy... leaning on lightwave just cuz I love the interface

[cptslog]

Intersting topic, again good luck to all :)

Ta,

Slog.

[alidanesh]

[Old_Nick]

Seems we have many options this week. nice topic
good modeling everybody !

[Cobraking]

Hello everyone!!!
I´m NEW here................I have been to this site many a times but just to admire all the wonderful things people do. I have to Admit your all great.
You inspired me so much that I have decided to take a shot at 3D modelling
So be gentle with me for coming YEARS...................a lot of catching up to do.
I´ll be asking alot of help from you guys...........bare with me
P.S. I´ll try to post something to this competition.

[OmegaN]

TheWinterLord: nice =) but as orkon said the first entry is always a little stressed =)

Radulan: hehe nice, I could figure something like that would come from you =)

artecnl: nice model and render

orkron: nice but a little simple =)

Heres my first entry. A shaver for women =)

[Cobraking]

Well here is my first ever model.
I got stuck here............dont know anything about texturing or lighting
or modelling.
Critics are welcome as well as help

[Thykka]

hi guys good night, i dont know if i can do electrical shavers, please someone tell me, i did this with a reference image. hope you like it cheers :D
Nice one, but don't you think they're a little too short to wield ergonomically?
And you've got one poking through the floor ;)

[Justo]

artecnl[B] Very nice bud !!!

[B]orkron[B] awesome, love the render to!!!

[B}winterlord[B] orkron is right :) nice model!

[B]OmegaN wow my friend :) gj!

cobraking Very nice , and welcome. few little things, you forgot modelling, rendering, and texturing times :) They cant judge your entry if they dont know how long it took you :_

Cheers!

[Old_Nick]

OmegaN : nice, clean model, like render a lot

Cobraking: welcome to the forums !

[zor]

well here is my entry, I kept it traditional (with a more modern approch), as I liked the original razor style rather than this "hi-tech" :) - well thats my excuse for it being simple anwyay :)

[DT_art]

First entry, I went for the straight razor approach.

[Deto]

OmegaN: Wow! That's brilliant model and texturing, looks like the real thing, good work! :)

[URs3D.net]

Good Topic!
This is my Shaver, hope it looks real enough to be recognized...
Software 3dsmax7 and Photoshop.
modeling took me 53 minutes and texturing maybe 15. render time was 6 minutes with skylight and default render.
Please comment on it !

[artecnl]

OmegaN thanks and great image too
thykka i think you see it short but in mi image reference the shaver looks like that dude, and yes the green shaver is poking , big mistake :S thanks bud for the crits :D
Justo thanks men, :D

[mimi01]

Nice starter, Black... and great topic!

nice model, artecnl. Nice Details.

Good one, OmegaN.

Cobraking - be welcome!

DT_art - Liked your model very much. I'm searching for reference to make one of those.

UrsiNMC - Very good modelling.

here's my first entry. It's not great. Just warming up. :o

modelling time 60min
textures 45min
lights and render 10min
3ds max5

[Garner]

@ OmegaN wow. amazing model and render. i see the standard is set already. truly fantastic job. you really understand the concept of smoothing, i always find i end up modelling more than i had too??

@ mimi, very nice again great render and very girlie :D

[xcessi]

nice models everyone..

artecnl very nice..

[Cobraking]

Here comes another one from me

[URs3D.net]

Mimi, i can just agree to the others, it looks very nice.
thanks though!
Next up is the electrical shaver, or maybe a standard one

[OmegaN]

Cobraking: welcome to the competition =) Update your first post and just state how long it took to model like jutso said. Nice second entry for someone who is completely new to modelling. Keep up the good work.

Justo: hello bud, thx for the comment :D

Old_Nick: I appreciate the comment, thanks.

zor: nice, but I think your very dark shadow destroys the picture, its hard to see. I have never used maya so I dont know where to change the shadow density but in max its under shadow parameters in the settings for the light (modifier panel).

DT_art: going out easy =) try next model to model something you think you cant do in 1h and if you fail the first time you will definitly make it the second =)

Deto: thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it alot!

UrsiNMC: nice model! I think you should have some higher quality on the shadow so its not that griny. And maybe some tint of a color (not much needed) on the ground plane just to give the image a little life.

artecnl: thanks! =D

mimi01: thanks for the comment. I like your model and render. It have a girly feeling. Just dont know what your black boxes is all about, trying to hide something from me? :D

i always find i end up modelling more than i had too??
Garner: thanks alot for the comment it warms my heart ;) About the quote I dont really know what you mean. Like doing much details in one area that will never face the camera or how do you mean?

Something that I have learned by doing these challenges is how important planning your model is. If I start with a model and have not figured out how I should model some parts before I start, then I find myself more than often running out of time (maybe not on simple models). You will probably get stuck with vertex tweaking and other stuff that take valuable time that you wouldnt if you have planned the model a little better.

I recommend you all to do like I said to DT_art and try to model something that you dont think you can finish in 1h. If you fail to finish the model you havent thrown away your time because you have gained experience and will probably be able to finish the model in time on your second/third time. And then you have modelled a model in 1h that you didnt think you could do, great huh? :D

[DarthSjaak]

My first entry for this week....

[URs3D.net]

DarthSjaak: It looks really great, nice shading, looks really real!

This one is similar to my first one, hope u enjoy

please comment. and info on the pic

[Garner]

@ OmegaN . LOL what i mean is i forget that smoothing can give you a nice curved edge done properly, rather than chamfering it a couple of times, or i might put more polyies in a section that simply just didnt need it in the end because the smoothing just smoothes right over it and blends it in so well. still learning the concept of smoothing and how it works things out.

[Yedan]

my first for the week, the time shown is for the total scene NOT just the Razor,

[Makonde]

hi all, great models, here's my first one this week :) hope u like it

3dsmax
Modelling time: 43 min

[Jor-Dan]

Hehe, ok, cool no one has taken my idea yet... I already have it modelled, but it's going to take some work to rig up the scene lol Maybe I'll have it finished by tonight, maybe tomorrow XD This thing is nuts... not sure how great it'll look, but that's why I'm taking my time :P

[Design]

Artecnl : Beautiful!!!
OmegaN : Great model and render
UrsinMC : Very nice
Makonde: Great render, and model

[-R3D-]

Hello People, Great models so far, Keep it up..

hope you like it

[Agamemnwn]

Great models this week. This is my first. c&c always welcome

[ThaTyger]

Very impressive models so far. Mostley old skool types of shavers, yet I find them very intresting. Can't wait to see more (and elec once).

Not really a topic for me though... but to subtile.. but I shall try to make something.

Brase yourselfs, it will be big and dangerous in use :P

[Design]

First entry for this week, Hope you like it
Comments are more than welcomed

3D Max 7 almost 60 minutes
Render & Modelling 2 hours

[hetsch]

Here's my entry, in which I'm trying a more macho approach then ya'll nerds! ;)

RAMBOSTYLE

[Covax]

Hi All!

And there is my "shaver".

Who will try it on it's face? :smug:

[Dark_Sword]

Hetch: Curse you! I thought that up while at school today and you just happened to beat me to it!





Modeling: 25 min.
Materials: 5 min.
ID-10-T Errors: 10 min.
Lighting: Less than a minute!
Rendering: 20 min.

My "machete" ended up looking like a kitchen-knife so I put it there...

It's my first speed-model, and to be frank it's one of my first models. Eek! ph34r teh suck!

[hetsch]

Dark_Sword: Hehe, I'm glad I beat you to it! :) I had some time to kill, so I decided to sit down and think of a cool interpretation of the theme, and when I did, a friend of mine walked in the door and simply said: "Make a ramboknife!"

I had a good time while I was making it, and learned alot during that hour! (I really have to work on my materials)

[MAFIA]

you always get nice topics Black-3DT

Here is my model for this week 2 in one shaver , iam trying to learn lightwave and improve my skills in it and iam learning it from 2 weeks ago, i love it :dance:

[Dark_Sword]

Hetch: Well, I admit yours is much better than mine. At least in my eyes. I'm still very new to 3D and having the same problems with it that I am with my guitar:

I want to be Hendrix but I only know three chords.

Not sure how you'd translate that but...

[-R3D-]

@adamos Thanks man, Much appriciated :)

@OmegaN Your model's excellent, Nice job. Im just starting to get used to NURBS lol (dunno what its called in 3dsMAX7)

@zor Nice clean Model, Cool design.

[-R3D-]

Some good models from everyone so far, keep it up.

Here's my 2nd entry.

[Aogor]

As I'm just a beginner, I haven't done a very good model. I think I'll make those challenges every week, So I can improve my skills a lot.

[RxExpress]

aogor, thats not a bad model at all, especailly for a first entry. the lighting and shadows are a bit off, but that comes with time. excellent entries to everyone, ill be posting mine tomorrow possibly. texturing still :(

[Orkron]

Okay, still not feeling too inspired yet.
Here's another simple one from me.
Max 6
40 minutes
Vray
TTCD 6

[Radulan]

Dark Sword: No one is an expert at the beginning. Every athlete needs to exercise and practice. You must have the courage to the amateur.

Agamemnwn: I like how you did your brush, quick and to the point.

Orkron: Quite the lathe. I'm sure that if you wanted to redo it it would take half the time.

Aogor: This is very much like integrating the tool to the artist, or the weapon to the warrior. Samuri felt that the bond was so close that if he somehow broke his chopsticks while eating he would soon break his sword, and being without a sword is like not having an arm.

[Orkron]

Radulan of course it would take me less time if I redid it...The lathe/spline took me 10 minutes going slow...the top was polymodelled and I kept restarting because I didn't like the results...So in response to your comment (at least what I assume you mean) is the reason it took so long is as I stated in my post, I wasn't feeling too inspired and was going slow and making errors I didn't like and elected to change.
Happy Modelling.

[SickCivic9818]

Nice models and renders everyone. Here's what I have.

[alidanesh]

What a geat week here...cant belive....
so many good work here....Like -R3d- and ....OmegaN,,,,artcnl..and....
i hope having time to model this week ,,,:)

[cptslog]

Excellent, some very nice models at such an early stage - i'll try get one modelled over the weekend for you chaps :)

Slog.

[SubCroC]

Design
wow! very good one.
R3D
ur first one is great.it will gain a honorable mention at least.(maybe a winner..:).)
zor
imo urs is the best in this type model 'till now.
Makonde

[roach105]

everyone has some really great work. It looks like the judges will have there handes full!!

Here is my entry for the week. Good Luck everyone!

[NydaLynn]

So many ideas O.O

[Cobraking]

Hi guys....I´m learning a lot buy just looking at the shavers..........but now I need help from you guys.................I´m trying to render a chair (first ever) using Vray but I cant seem to get it working.
The metal and the Vray material wont render
Help :halo:

Edit: I removed your image just because it doesn't quite belong in this challenge. I would try posting your question here (http://forums.3dtotal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55) as there should be plenty of people willing to help you there. :)

[Garner]

koay no.1 for me, its my own design and is only a low disposable razor....but hey it does feature a swivel blade, for that extra smooth shave while on the go.... ;P and hey.... ya get three in apack for only $2.99

[Nico_3D]

Hola .... I´m new and this is my first entry
Sorry I don´t speak english

[mimi01]

Thanks for the comments, OmegaN. The black boxes are bad arranging from the images. :grr:
Liked your entry very much, Makonde.Very clean, a bit dark though.
R3D - Wonderful model and textures.(first one)
Very realistic, Adamos.
Lovely entry, mr_lemon. And thanks for the comments. Next model will be for men. ;P
Cute shavers, Garner.

[mjglennon]

Miss the last two weeks, but I was able to make on this week.

Well, the entery's this week look good.

Modeling in Maya 6.5 Mental Ray ((45 Min.) 20 Min. Rendering)
Texturing in Photoshop (20 Min.)

[ThaTyger]

Sorry I don´t speak english

No problem, as long as you can write English everything will be fine :P

[Nico_3D]

Ok :haha:

[Nehumanuscrede]

Heh, just a quick post to say all is still well since hurricane Rita decided to be a pest. Made landfall east of me so very little damage was done. Should see a model from me this week I think.

Couple of new toys on their way to me. XSI version 5 and a Spaceball 5000. Though, it's likely the shaver will be done with Rhino for now . . . . .

If any of you have ever used the Spaceball, shoot some of your opinions on it my way I'm somewhat curious how it will work out :)

[andoy]

here goes for this weeks first entry from me,
A lot tougher than i thought really for an hour.
The Body started as a cube with verts moved and hypernurbs added, The display hole was extruded and the mesh was made editable for boolean purposes ( hence the high res wires sorry !! )
A spline was extruded and booleaned from the body, then another spline was used to cut the top part out.
Line selection was made in the display hole and edge to spline used along with sweep nurbs to get the frame for the glass part. A copy of the same spline was used for the glass part itself.
Tha actual top part was started with edge to spline and then more splines drawn and moved and lofted.
The head parts where an extruded edge to spline selection with a 3 pointed star booleaned from out.
The blade covers are simple cylinders with an array of cubes booleaned from it. Then project spline and extrudenurbs was used to get the Black on/off switch.

Modelled with C4D in 60 minutes.
Textured with basic shaders and simbiont shaders in 15 minutes.
Rendered in 1 hour 16 minutes and 10 seconds

[Orkron]

Congrats R3D on making the 3dtotal front page

[mr_lemon]

i've just managed out to model the shaver head...so,no handle...but i think you could shave with that...maybe it could hurt a little :hmm: ...
andoy,superb entry...

done in max with power boolean within the time limit

[mimi01]

Heh, just a quick post to say all is still well since hurricane Rita decided to be a pest. Made landfall east of me so very little damage was done. Should see a model from me this week I think.

I'm glad to hear that, Nehumanuscrede :)

And Andoy, excellent model! Looks fantastic.

And congratulations, R3D!

[Lighter]

Beautiful work, Andoy. Absolutely fantastic.

I hope to post my razor here shortly, but first I want to play around with some custom texture work in Photoshop before I post.

That, and I decided to try out 3D Studio Max 8.0, since there's that demo. This way I can see whether I'll simply end up purchasing Max instead of Maya (that, and Maya costs an arm and a leg. I can't believe my roommate's parents can afford to pay for his Maya license. Derned rich kids! :P )

[andoy]

mr_lemon:Thanks, i am just thinking wether to call you sweeney todd the demon barber if you are gonna shave people with that!! i am sure it's gonna hurt just a little..

mimi01:Thanks, i am just trying to keep up

Lighter: Thanks also, try downloading the 9.5 version demo of C4D also from http://www.maxon.net/ you might be suprised by it. definatly worth a try in my book. I converted from max on the strength of it's v9 demo.

But you know folks it's only everybody else's work here, that keeps pushing us onwards and upwards. So wether you are a new competitor or an old hand you are still an inspiratipon to somebody..

[Old_Nick]

Amazing entries this week !!
Here's mine.
Never have a shave with one of this, but it's nice to model.

[shadowfax]

Hi all,
This is my first posted model:P:P
I know it is ugly:P but its the first one:D

Modeling time: 36min
software:Max 6.0

[Agamemnwn]

Thanks Radulan for the comments. it was done as a psd texture that i painted the transparency, color, bump and specularity and then twweked in photoshop again in post.

Ok Some comments about the models these week

TheWinterLord Nice model but the wire is too dence and the material u choose is reflecting the background so much you are loosing detail on the model

Radulan Very original model . Just sit down and the bot will shave u nice and fast :D. Nice model . The green background spoles the layout i think

Orkron Great modell . love the colors and the design

artecnl nice model but little bulky i think. As for the references . just google your way into finding references. That is what i did

Cobraking Good try . Been there. practice makes perfect. keep it up

zor Interesting concept and nicelly modelled. Little harse on the lighting there and it came up a little dark i think

DT_art good model. Still had 33 min to make more things for it i think.

UrsiNMCNice model. a little bulky but a nice approach.the materials you chose are bringing down the detail of you modell that we see in the wire i think

mimi01 Hi mimi, looking good :D nike starter i love the detail. keep up the good work

Cobraking looking good.learning fast :D Try to use all the time you have given.

DarthSjaak good model . Nice simple modelling and good use of materials

UrsiNMC looking better than the first one. More detailed and better use in materials. good modelling.

Yedan good modelling. still the wire colors are stealling the models from detail that u modelled

Makonde good model but the materials and wire colors are stealling the model from detail that u modelled

-R3D- Great use of textures, good render and model.I have a question about the engraving and the cut in the razor were they done with booleans? and one other about the wire. is it on the smoothed model? or this is the original number of polys u used ? congrats on the front page plug as well

adamos good model. looking good on the detail on the head of the razor :D

mr_lemon good model. like the parts

Design good model.little too dark render i think

hetsch Shaving in the judgle rambostyle. Good model nice textures

Covax nice concept and clean modelling. Little harsh on the textures i think . too shiny?

Dark_Sword good try for i first there

MAFIA nice modell. practise makes perfect. :D

-R3D- nice modell there. Great textures. Still 1h modelling. Is it the booleans on the smoothed model that takes all the time?

Aogor good model . These challenges will definately improve your skills. Improved mine over the weeks and challenges :D

Orkron nice model there. U still had 20 min why didnt you explore the possibilities of some details on the razor head or on the handle?

SickCivic9818 nice modell there.

Dr-BoF 38 min and u gave up? come on. Try again. its looking good

roach105 good modell. nice hair on the brush

Garner great modell and render. I like the different kind of details on the parts

Nico_3D good entry. i think the size of the entry steals from you modell. make it 800x600 or 600x800 next time

mjglennon nice concept. good modelling and texturing

andoy great modell render and description. looking really good :D

mr_lemon great detail on the razor head. good modelling :D

Old_Nick great model. NIcelly through . good textures and render :D

shadowfax nice concept. nice model . so it tells u the time and your heartrate as well

alidanesh nice modell there . great looking textures

adamos great modell. Great textures and render

[vayasin]

it should be possible to shave with :wall:

[Aioria]

here is my entry this week ... it was done in max 7 in 60 mins rendered whit max well ( can someone explain me how to put bump maps on maxwell ? :smug: )

[Buzhug]

My first post and my first participation.
Short presentation : I'm designer and graphist in France.
You can see some 3d works of mine on www.buzhug.com .
(and sorry for my english).
Your works are very fine.

My work:
Cinema 4D
Modeling time : 45 mn
Design original.

[Edit] : thanks fastrak-3DT. And sorry. I have edited my post. I hope it's good.

[fastrak]

Buzhug:
Welcome to the forums. Nice website (although I do not read or speak french :)). I'm sure you have noticed other entries here in the speed modeling contests all have, or should, wireframes in their post. And I'm sure that it's an oversight that you have forgotten yours, so please edit the post and add the necessary elements to complete this entry.
Thank you

Fastrak

[Radulan]

BuzHug: Great first entry. I'm curious to see the unsmoothed wire.

Aioria: Interesting futuristic look. also looks waterproof.

Adamos: Sharp :)

alidanesh: Great materials, though I think a full wire would be more valuble than your "exploded" version. You could always do an "exploded" wire instead.

shadowfax: I'm always in favor of the inventive entries. Your's looks like the "everything you need on a stick" approach. With some fine tuneing it might become something marketable.

Old_Nick: I think my mother used to use that one. ;) Good realism.

and now for my entry. It is a joke that many have done before me, the tiny mower on the beard, but I made it a little more belevable. It could even be motorized.

[Black]

Thank you Mimi;
But my simple model has already been shadowed by so many great entries :)

Have you guys modeled the WHOLE scene in the 60 minutes or just the razor?
If the whole scene was created in hte given time it would be wise to state it in your posts. Else they shall be judged only according to the razor.


Sorry for the belated responce.. but not really able to come to the office at the while :(

In every model i make everything that is in wireframe is modelled in the given time limit. so you can see that the background and the stand is not modelled in the time limit but the cap the handle the brush and the razor is

[Orkron]

Agamemnwn
Thanks, for the fisrt and
Thanks for the second and I really wasn't feeling the model...I kinda just wanted to get it over with.

[michaelfir]

The challenge is over?

[alidanesh]

ok :haha:

[Alkeholix]

Hi Guys
heres my second entry on this board

I call it shaving for the harder one :P
I used Cinema 4D for modeling and rendering
Photoshop for "postwork"
Modeling time was about 30 minutes, setup about 20

hope you like it

[andoy]

Agamemnwn: Thankyou, it's good to see people taking the time to appreciate others hard work.

[cptslog]

Hi all, this week ive done alittle research and managed to find this shaver from 1936!

Software - 3dsmax 7

Cheers Sloggy. - Good Luck All!

[andoy]

cptslog: Waht software did you use? it is needed in the post.

[Segreto]

cptslog, very nice render you have there, good job!

[cptslog]

andoy - Added sorry :shy:
Segreto - Cheers mate, really appreciate that :)

Slog.

[MAFIA]

nice models everyone

Agamemnwn: I was going to say what andoy said , Thank you for appreciation others work and your comments are important to me

[-R3D-]

@SubCroC: Really? A winner? Id be happy with an honorable mention :) But winning would be nice. :) (I can dream can't I lol) :D

@mimi01: Cheers

@Orkron & mimi01: Thanks, I was shocked to see I was on the homepage, Its pretty cool, (thanks to who ever chose mine to put on there)

@alidanesh: Very nice Transparent Razor.

@Agamemnwn: Thanks, I used boolean to cut the hole in the blade but the writing was a texture i made,
The handle was a lathe (200 Rotational segs) lol. The writing on the handle was booleaned.
The wire - if you mean the 1st head bit, It was an extruded spline, put in a NURBS object to smooth, and booleaned the 2 holes out. then made it editable (into polys)
Should I change it to show just the extrude with basic polys or just leave it as it is?

@Agamemnwn: The 2nd model - yea the boolean took about 10mins to cut, I thought it was gonna crash due to the high poly count. lol

@Radulan: Nice Model (The GrassHopper) Different concept but cool :)

@Aioria: Nice model and render.

@Buzhug: Excellent first post, Nice model, well done.

@cptslog: Cool design, nice render. (We're on week 67 by the way not 66) lol :)

Hi there,

Some really nice entries this week. This is my try for week...

[PKT]

Really some very good models so far, really like admos, cptslog, and twiddlefinger's entries.

Well, here is my entry for the week.
Software: 3ds max 7
Modeling time: 60min
Rendering time: 12sec

[wdl]

And here's my entry for this week. This one probably wasn't used for shaving...or maybe by a very clumsy person.

Software:3D Max 7
Modelling time: 35 minutes

[mimi01]

Fantastic entries, folks.

See, now a men shaver. Didn't have a reference to look at, so this is an invented one. But you guys can buy it from me, as long I still have some in stock. ;P
Shipping is not included. :hmm:

modelling time: 60min (the shaver and the can)
textures: 60min
lights and render: 40min
3ds max5

[Radulan]

KARYMSKY: You got a great first entry. Even though it took 2 hours. I'm sure it was a learning experience.. remember if you want it to be considered a real entry you need to include a wireframe in the same image.

Twiddlefinger: I like the middle one a bit better than the left one, but that's just me. Also nice that you made each hole.

Mimi: Good job, even if you didn't have one to model off of.

[SubCroC]

cptslog
a great one.but not crazy :crazy: cool render.

twiddlefinger
pretty model and render.

wdl

OmegaN: I didn't do the animation, just thought I'd correct you. I refuse to take credit for other's work. Besides I don't think they did any 3d work for it... but it is a cool site... also, nice electric. good job on the slide switches.

Hi All!

There is my second entry. This time not so "alternative" version :haha:

Thats good to know. But you are not new to this game and have a good idea that we ask it to be stated on the post often.

It is no rule you are breaking by not posting thing such. But what happens is, is that the judge shall be only responsable in apreciating your skills for modeling the concept object(In this case the razor) in the given time limit. Which may be unfair on your part otherwise.
This is a helpful advice for your behalve.

Do as you wish.

Bllack

SO if i get this straight u need me to state in my entries what i modelled in the time limit. i think its obvious in the wireframe as it was stated a while back that you (judges) where going to judge everything been in the wire, but i will do it anyway in the uppcomming entries :D . obviously it would be unfair to me in that case as i modelled everything i have in wireframe in the time limit or is it that u are going to judge it baddly because i modelled something else together with the shaver that u wanted?

[macghost]

Hi guyz alot of really amazing work please forgive me for mine this is my first model i'm still learning,done with maya 7. :ugh:

[Jediego]

Well i begun some years ago with the three bladed Match3, now there´s one with four blades, so here my highest bet.
(handle with care)
Regards...

[alidanesh]

wdl : its really nice...its some kind of illustration...i like it man:D
OmegaN : i cant say any thing .... icant model like this in whole week...really nice,,,and ur so quick:DRender and materials are subrb too..
hawk : nice way of shaving...nice model and nice render

[TheWinterLord]

Hi eh i had some problems with the wireframe because i modeled it in 3d studio max 7 then I had to save it into a mesh so that i could open it at home with 3d s max 6 to put materials and do renders...

Well anyways here is my super huge chain sword shaver. What can I say? Warhammer 40K inspired me...

again sry for the wireframe becasue i saved the mesh smoothed...

[Radulan]

Black: Does eletrolisis fit anywhere in this catagory? It is, afterall, a way of removing hair.

[Sidaho]

Finally got some time to model this week! Wanted to add a lot more detail to this but where does that hour go? Really needed a seam between the blue and grey plastic but apart from that it's not far off. Tough subject this week!

[3Dvirus]

Hello my good friends...i wasn't in the mood this week but managed to make 1 simple model...i hope you like it.I don't have much time for comments but sidaho simple great looking model and good looking materials...
Modeling time 35min
TExturing:20 min
Software:3d studio max 7+brazil

[Sidaho]

3D Virus, thanks for your comments - I like yours a lot also - it's very close to the real thing :cool:

[the_bully]

Hello Folks

Heres a simple one from me,Im still learning maxwell render so the quality is not the greatest.

software:Cinema 4d 9.5
modeling time:25 mins
rendering time:120 mins

good luck to all

[3Dvirus]

the_bully it looks pretty cool...keep it up

[cptslog]

Thanks for the kind response, some excellent looking models this week already :) - few quick comments from this page:

TheWinterLord – Crazy idea mate, i'd be shaking like a rabbit caught in car headlights trying to use that beast!! :crazy:

Sidaho – Nice clean simple model, render is very nice!

3Dvirus – Again nice clean simple model, texturing and render looks clean and cool – good old Gillette :)

the_bully – Super little model, 120minutes is such a long time for a render though! Keep practising with the maxwell renderer though :)

Ta,

Slog.

[URs3D.net]

this is the first old school shaver from me...
hope you enjoy

the_bully: Looks really good, nice modeling and textures.

[the_bully]

Thanks guys for the comments :)

[SubCroC]

3dVirus
nice metallic one.
sidaho
clean model
the_bully
pretty work.

i could spare a bit time to make one for this week's challenge.

3dsmax7+Vray
modelling:55-60 min.
texturing:15 min.
render:9 min. for each scene.

[OmegaN]

Radulan: ah ok, but it was cool anyway =)
Covax: cool, looks like a mixup between a fruit and 3 alien worms :)
HawK: a little simple model but nice material and render!
macghost: welcome to the forum. But you need to check the rules(first page every challenge), the picture should include a wireframe (look at everyone elses picture) of you model. And you have to state in your post (or picture) the modellingtime. And the post should be in 800x600 or 600x800.
Jediego: that thing looks dangerous =)

alidanesh: Thanks for the comment, it made me glad =) Well some secrets to model with speed is keyboard shortcuts and Modelling / selection plugins =) I use "Meshtools 3 with CSPolyTools" and orionflame (the free verision). Both is free and can be downloaded at www.scriptspot.com . Oh and ofcourse to enhance the workflow is to costumize the UI so you have the tools you use the most easy accessible. I have a toolbar to the left with modelling stuff instead of the reactor toolbar , and I use the function "connect" all the time when modelling so I have that one on SHIFT+C etc etc =)

TheWinterLord: hehe I dont want to shave myself with that one =) nice work.
Sidaho: nice and clean model + render.
3Dvirus: nice and simple model.
the_bully: nice. Tell me, is maxwell as slow as everyone say? =)
UrsiNMC: nice, but a little to noise render for my taste =)
SubCroC: wow, It looks very realisitc. I think this is the best model and render from you =)

[the_bully]

OmegaN

Maxwell is not that bad.Ive seen people do amazing renders in short amounts
of time.
I guess its all about learning how to set up your scene light a real photo shoot
but it is getting better and im sure the final version(1.0)which is out in the end of the month will be better and faster

[SubCroC]

[B]SubCroC: wow, It looks very realisitc. I think this is the best model and render from you =)

thnx for comment,:),last one is always most experienced and best one.

[URs3D.net]

This one was made without reference pictures, so it was all done in my head ;)

Thanks for ya help OmegaN , in this picture i reduced the noise!
By the way does anybody know a good tutorial, or explanation on how to make photorealistic pictures and lightning? It would be a great help.

[OmegaN]

UrsiNMC: well there isnt a certain way of doing photorealistic pictures. It all comes down to how realistic the model is (modelling tutorials), how realistic your materials reacts to light and its sourrounding (texturing and shading tutorials, Here you have to have knowledge of the real world so the best way to gather information to apply 3d is analyze the world around you. Like looking at wet things that they are a darker colour and have more highlights etc. Learning how diffrent things like aniostropic, translucensy etc work in the realworld then you know when to use the diffrent techniques). About lightning same goes here. Analyze the world, like on a sunny day how is the shadows, soft or sharp? (it gets softer the futher away from the shadowcasting object it comes). what colortint have the shadows, like on a sunny day they are a little blue tint (caused by the sky). How is the shadows beneath object etc etc etc.. I have some links here to good knowledge that applys to all softwares:

[OmegaN]

AD-Max: welcome to the forum, but you need to read the rules (front page) because you need to attatch the image not link to it. And you have to put a wireframe of you model in the same picture. And it has to be 800x600 or 600x800 in size

[AD-Max]

okay thanks,it's fix & sorry for such low res image.

Hi everyone. My 1st post here :) Its great piece po art from all of you. good job. I think i will put something on in next challange. Cya

Why rely on metallic, ceramic, or clumbsy liquid blades? Now you have what the Space squadron of Ceti-Alpha-six used to keep themselves looking ship shape and flying right. Stubble is the enemy, what do you use on the enemy? Lazors.. and now you have them in the palm of your hand. Blast your stubble back to the information age!

Hawk;
Nice entry... but you may have a bit of a problem plucking hair with those..
they will tend to let go.
Unless you twist it to have the hair wrap around it's snout.
I had done the exact same mistake a dear years back... :)

It is a valid entry and I won't call it a DQ issue. But you may want to concider the efficiency of your next entry shall you have one in mind.
It counts greatly.


Agamemnwn;
I believe I was clear enough. Your choice.

Your image size is much greater than the dimensions permited. You may want to change your post.

marty: that is the original concept behind the grasshopper, but the angle on the helix got changed.. nice job in doing what I almost did.

Anagor :can u tell me how u made that tile shine like that. i tryed to give reflection map of the tiles as raytrace but it didnt work.
Anyone:can u tell me how to make a metalic material for the blades.in 3dsmax without brazil or vray or any pay 2 use plugins :smug:

Some absolutely fabulous models this week. Wow.

Just wow.

I'd point out specific ones I like, but really, there are just too many (and a few that truly stood out), but sadly I don't have the time to go through the list right now.

Needless to say, the majority of these are simply fantastic. Great work, guys!

I hope to have mine posted up by tomorrow.

[MichaelM]

Hey people!
This is my first post here but I've been lurking for a few weeks. :)
Anyway nice models everyone! I'm kindof new to this but here is something I knocked up this arvo...

[PKT]

Welcome to the forum MichaelM pretty nice first post.

[Cobraking]

Dr BoF..............I just looked at your page.............nice. One thing though you should change a letter on your GALLERY not Gallary............:) and PLUGINS

[syQ]

I wanna post my tribute... but excactly how do I attatch the stuff propperly ?

And how can I make 3dsmax render to wire ?

[OmegaN]

I wanna post my tribute... but excactly how do I attatch the stuff propperly ?
Press "post reply" and then you have a button called "manage attatchments" under additional options. Then you just choose your file on your computer then click upload. To make it work your filesize has to be under 100kb in size.

And how can I make 3dsmax render to wire ?
Thats not necessary, you can just press print screen button on your keyboard when your in your 3d software and then composite the image in photoshop or an equal program

[syQ]

Hi ... Just wanna say that this is my first speed modeling ever, and I only have worked with 3dsmax for 3 weeks...

Also I hope no one gets offended by my tribute... Thought the ideah was fun

[cptslog]

Hi syQ nice looking model, only downfall i can see is you've not added a wireframe to your image.

As OmegaN says "you can just press print screen button on your keyboard when your in your 3d software and then composite the image in photoshop or an equal program"

Also remember to add your wireframe to the image and post above, i dont think your allowed to post it seperate.

Slog.

Well, seems I had to compromise a bit this week. Normally my modelling is done
within Rhino then transferred to Softimage as I happen to like nurbs over poly modelling.

However, Rhino and myself got into a fight over how the ' loft ' function should work. Long story short, Rhino won and I ended up having to model this in Softimage.

I am not nearly as proficient in poly modelling and the model is a prime example of it. This is pretty much all I could do within the hour time limit. One of the biggest issues I have with XSI is their horrible boolean tools. Thus, I didn't use them for the grip ' nibs ' for the lack of a better word.

Anyhoo, here is version one of the razor for this week. See if I can find the time for a second one.

shamohan: I like your entry, nice model and render. Metal shader looks great.

[Covax]

This is my last entry for this week ;)

I like this competition. Almost two years I haven't touched 3D Max, so, this is good start to learn some new/forgotten things.

Will try to make something for next competition too ;)

[-R3D-]

Some great work by everyone this week. Keep it up :)

This is my third and final entry. Another cut-throat razor :D

[Nehumanuscrede]

LOL

I can say if you want a challenge, go pick up a SpaceBall. WOW is this thing
going to take some getting used to.

Will see how well it works once I get used to moving it the right way.

Until then, model shoots all over the screen. I spend more time trying to find the model than anything after it shoots off the screen from my pushing the controller the wrong way :dance:

[eridian]

muito bom esses trabalhos !!!!

antoninocc
welcome to forum. a nice one u've made.

Covax
i liked this original shape.

-R3D-
very good model.blade is similar to samurai swords.liked it.

[MichaelM]

Thanks PKT and SubCroc! Just learning Maya at uni, but these things are great for practicing things.. As you can see I haven't quite got the hang of smoothing things without ruining them, and I'm not all that happy with the black on top, seems to have lost all depth. But yeah I guess that will happen :)

[Tyson]

Hi.
I've been tempted to enter these competitions for a while. I finally decided to enter; I am using a freeware modeling program called Anim8or. I highly recommend it: it fits on a floppy, is free, and is possibly the best polygon/sub-division modeling program out there!
Please excuse the lack of any fancy rendering effects.
Comments and/or critiques are appreciated and respected.
Thanks.
-Tyson

[antoniocc20]

Sorry , i forgot to state the software i used----> 3ds Studio Max 7.0
Thanks Fastrak.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Sorry , i forgot to state the software i used----> 3ds Studio Max 7.0
Thanks Fastrak.

Actually, you need to edit your previous post and state your software there. We only look at the post your entry is in. Just edit it and you'll be all set! :D

[antoniocc20]

Thanks McFly.

here's my attempt at the traditional cut throat style,

[Garner]

No. 2 for me and this is a must for any riddick fan, the unoffical riddick razor, designed to cut,slash,slice and thats just the safe end....

[-R3D-]

Well, Iv had a quiet week this week. :D

Anyway:
I know I said my 3rd was my last, but here's my 4th Entry (probably my last one this week lol) :)

[Agamemnwn]

Hello to everyone

theeman nice modell there. Keep it up

-R3D- Great textures there. Nice clean modelling

Agamemnwn,3Dvirus and Retro

thank u guys for comments,i appreciate all ur words much,that is the energy source for us to keep working on 3D.

SubCroC right back att you :D

Tyson great looking model. Maybe a bigger entry next time. 800x600 or 600x800?

Yedan Nice looking blade

Garner Great concept for the shaver handle :D

-R3D- its hard to stop isnt it:D i have the same problem :D :D great modell there.

This is my 3rd entry for this week. I made a gillette mach3 razor. started with the handle and as i had my own shaver as a reference i lost track of time as i wanted to modell it as close as possible and with all the details and came up with a little time to do the head of the shaver :(. anyway. This is how it turned out.

[shamohan]

Thanks for your comment, i didnt do any thing special on my Shaver modelling, just put HRDI image on metal part

this time i try the depth of field.. it doesnt work properly, and i didnt spend more time on that DOF...

Good luck


Shamohan

[RandallMR]

Hey sup,

very nice models lads, so here's mine:

[adamos]

adamos i like ur tiles and that model is great too what did u give as environment map a hdri image.can someone explain. i used the hdri image tutorial.but when i put it to the racer it reflects the image of a hallway in such a high manner that the reflected light projects on the gillet box on the side :-)

[alidanesh]

nice nice again..,great entries agian...i already saw my shaver modeled in this form by mieachM(sooner than mine) :evil: ...im sorry but i cant pass by modeling my own shaver that all day shaving with it,,ur model in som palaces like plug ang light and ... is more better than me ..hope u luke....

[Délé]

Another excellent week everyone. Lot's of mighty fine models.

OmegaN - You've got a couple of very nice entries! I like all the little details you've got in the second one. Great work!

mimi01 - Nice entries this week! I like the presentation of your second one. Almost looks like a magazine ad.

-R3D- - Wow, you're just whipping out models left and right this week. :) Your models and presentations all look nice. I really like that scratchy metal texture on your second entry! Great job!

andoy - Great job on your electric razor! That tile texture looks familiar. :) That's one from the collection that I like to use too.

Old_Nick - Both your model and render look nice. Good job!

alidanesh - You've got a couple of fine entries this week! I love the textures on your first model. Nice work!

Buzhug - Welcome to the forums. I really like the presentation of your model. I look forward to seeing more work from you in the future.

cptslog - Interesting model. The render looks very nice. Great work!

twiddlefinger - Nice razor! I like the presentation too. Nice job!

Sidaho - Excellent work! Model, render and presentation all look nice!

SubCroC - Great entry! I can definitely see a "SubCroC" style to your models. Nice work!

adamos - Nice job! You've got a few nice models this week. I really like the render on your last one.


Now with any luck I'm off to make my model for this week.

[MichaelM]

Nice model alidanesh.. I like it a lot better than mine. :)

[Lighter]

Finally, here's my entry for the week guys!

Hope you all like.

All done in Maya with mostly procedural textures, save for a few customs tossed here and there for the logo on the bottom and for the light bump in the grip portions of the handle. Overall, a ton of fun, even if the texturing took much longer to tweak than I thought. Guess it comes with being inexperienced. :p

Also, I completely messed up and saved over the original model after smoothing when I intended to save a second version of it for all progress made after smoothing in order to go back and print-screen the rough wires, so I was left with the complex smooth wire.

All done from a cylinder poly primitive extruded ten ways from Sunday to make the final shape. Probably my best entry yet in these contests, so even if it isn't the best thing ever, I'm proud of it. :)

[Radulan]

Lighter: I find that the projects that seem to take the longest are actually the ones that you learn the most. You are getting better.not a bad model. Shame that you lost the simpler wire.

[theeman]

nice model lighter alidenish.ur model reminds me of a mobile phone (nice clor combinations).u guys are sooo good in texturing :-).great model shamohan u make all keralites proud.i like the texturing.i am also from kerala :crazy:

[alidanesh]

MichaelM: tnx man for ur kind words...and im so happy that u like it... :smug:
Dele: tnx ..u made me happy in this full of works day..going university...and modeling late night:D
theeman:tnx...for ur kind word

[Jor-Dan]

Alright, here's my Electric shaver... sort of... more like a cluster of nanoscopic lumberjack robots with axes that you spray onto your face ^_^

Just be sure to obey the label at all costs... don't mix with other brands... they might go and have a battle royale on your cheekbone lol

[syQ]

Jor-Dan haha i love the ideah... One thing im thinking is wh00t... what if those thingies went a-wall and went down the boxers.... they could make permanent damage down there...

[Dr-BoF]

cool works guys :)
third one from me :)

[JohnBo]

Hi everyone, this is my first post in this competition so I hope you like my entry, I tried to think of a new aproach to getting hair off you face and I came up with this quick all in one solution. The inside (in theory, would be covered with electric shaver heads). I think I went a little over the hour but I still thought it was worth posting up.

Check out more at my website: www.billshatner.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk (http://www.billshatner.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk)

[fastrak]

Wow, some great entries once again. :)
I don't know why I'm amazed, I should know better by now.
Terriffic ideas and presentations too!
Judging will be most difficult, I'm sure.

[Covax]

So, I see that many of us can't stop :D

[Garner]

@ Covax = excellent design. it is most likely marketable should you ever do it. (providing i am not missing something and it is not actually your design) love the model, love the render, nothing more to say??

@ Fastrak = agreed if the challenges were not tough enough the judging surely must be..

[cyber_zero]

Hello everyone!

As usual great models and great renders!!!

After a few tries, problems and workarounds I managed to finish my model within the time limit.
It was a hard subject but I really learned a lot with this model.
It is inspired in my old and trusty Philishave - didn't have more time to reproduce it exactly, but it's pretty close.

Must go now, I'm on my lunch break... well past my lunch break :haha:

[Covax]

Hmm... actually I have invented this yesterday with no any reference.

Interesting to compare the same idea. Can you give info where you have seen something like my model?

[andrei313]

Here is my entry for this week.

[theeman]

wow what else can i say.this times entries are superb.

[SubCroC]

thanks for comment Delé.

jor-dan
flea sized haircutters.the most creative one this week.this can be a project for a 10-20 min. animation.

johnbo
very good original idea and creative.why did not u join here before?,i'm sure we shall see cool ideas from u in next times.

cyber_zero
a pretty one. nice render.

andrei313
model and composing is very well.

Haha, thanks, and it would be if I knew anything more than simple BS rigging lol It was hard enough glitching these guys into THOSE positions :P

[Nehumanuscrede]

Just a quick two cents of idea since I'm sitting at work.

I'm guessing the objects that are chosen for any given week of speed modeling are not quite as random as first glance might imply. On the ones I have participated in, the objects were deceptively simple LOOKING but most ( if not all in my case anyway ) had their trouble spots along the modelling process.


Curious if the judges / mods could reveal why that particular topic / object was the candidate for the week once the competition was closed. Ergo, we wanted to see how you handled xxx or yyy, how this attached to that, etc. etc.


Perusing the models submitted this week just goes to show me that I need to continue participation in the challenges as I still have a LOT to learn :)

There are some VERY talented folks in here both in the modelling and in the non-judged texturing / lighting fields as well. Always a pleasure to view some of the creativity this challenge can bring out in folks :)

[Jor-Dan]

I wish I could learn NURBS better so that I can make cooler smooth objects, but one big downside of LW is there is no LOFT tool! We get multi-rail extrudes, which I guess could be used LIKE a loft, but not as easily... maybe there's a plugin somewhere

[Lighter]

Some truly GREAT work again this week.

Andrei313, Great model. I really love your composition in general, lighting, texturing, all of it. Grats on a job well done.

cyber_zero, I like the texture work here, man. I like the "sparkly" quality you have on the texture on the body. Was this from a color map you made, or does that come from somewhere else?

JohnBo, A shame you went over the hour, man. This is a great piece of work. One of the most creative in here, in a sea of those of us who literally just made razors. Welcome to the forums.

Theeman, Thanks, man. :)

Radulan, Yeah, definetely. This project helped out with digging around in the UV Map Editor and just working with textures. A shame that they didn't turn out quite as I'd hoped, but c'est la vie. I definetely learned from mistakes and from just working on this model. Thanks :D

alidanesh, Beautiful... Just beautiful.

[Makonde]
