The SMC's - #70 "Feeling Peckish?"

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

The Challenge Rules

1). Each challenge 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 modeling 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 can 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 and must include a clear and easy to see wireframe of the mesh before any smoothing/subdivision has been applied. Wire renders/ Cell Shaded or Screengrab wireframes are acceptable. Any wireframes we cannot see correctly will be 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 containing the required information can be removed and the poster disqualified.

5). Post two images submission per entry which must be no larger than 1280x1024 pixels in either landscape or portrait format with a file size of no more than 195k. 1 image for your wireframes and 1 for your clay and/or beauty renders. These images must be uploaded to our servers using the "browse" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images files. Images 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). The creation of displacement maps, normal maps and any splines drawn out in an external program other than your modeling software are to be included in your modeling time.

7). Time spent on rendering or texturing or building a scene in which to display your model is not included in the allocated 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 recognizable.

8). Posting the same entry twice in a challenge is considered to be double posting and will result in a disqualification. When asked to fix a previous post due to DQ or any other reason, you must fix the first post, or delete it altogether and create a new one.

9). The Winner must email jo@3dtotal.com to claim their prize.

10). Only 1st place can claim a prize.

11). Clay Renders are mandatory, but an additional beauty render is optional.

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

[Varsh]

Those Wotsits or Cheesy Puffs aren't orange enough. ^^;

I remember eating so many of those things when I was younger, made my breath smell horrificly, give me horrible stainy mushy fingers, and they were totally over-powering! So I scoffed them all down instead. :evil:

I think I'm going to enter this one too this week! Hopefully I'll make the deadline this time. :halo:

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

I know I know lol ........but it was a rushed job :)

CG.

[Rachel vd M]

nice one
though there's quite a bit of scale difference since last entry ;)

[Varsh]

From your tower I wonder if I got myself enough Skips I'll be able to float all the way down.

[JAPO]

This is cruel. Simply cruel. Trying to lose some weight here! And now I am supposed to spend 90 minutes modelling... :drool::crazy:

I am snackaholic!

[TheBat]

This sounds like a fun one as well, though the scale difference is enormous yeah :D. Let's see if this brings the same amount of amazing entries as last weeks! Good luck everyone!

[Bouncingxferret]

This sounds like a super cool one! And just a quick question. Can you submit a beverage as an entry?? Or would it just be an additional item in the entry?

[Rachel vd M]

okay, last time i had one of the last entries :o
this time, ill be the one to get the entry flow starting :evil:
its a quick entry, i chose the snack for it's shapes ;)

here is my entry, the dutch (infamous) "Negerzoen"
its a Dutch and german candy treat that had it's name "officially" changed by the parliment, because it was supposed to be racist (as a litteral translation would be negro kiss).
Though in the end it was just a ingenious marketing stunt of the main suplier of Negerzoenen.

in germany its known as a "Schokokuss"

p.s.

i cant wait to see Ferry's entry of those tasty Torus Donuts ;)

[Varsh]

Hayai! Those marshmallows already look yummy. :)

[DaddyDoom]

Damnit Rachel... Those are my favorite candies... In Portugal we call it Bombocas and its the best ever since the invention of sex.
I might be in :D

[Ferry P]

i cant wait to see Ferry's entry of those tasty Torus Donuts ;)

You really like to see my tasty torus?

[Rachel vd M]

yeah ofc

just the torus primitive with a sugar coated texture,
like the way you made those awesome pyramids

[Psycho Mantis]

there are kids reading this forum....

[Ferry P]

yeah ofc

just the torus primitive with a sugar coated texture,
like the way you made those awesome pyramids

Don't worry...I know what you meant ;)
But I tried something a bit more challenging this time :smug:

BEHOLD!!

[TheBat]

Inspired by the hot weather i was longing for a snack today. Hope this counts as a snack anyway. Might do another one this week, if enough time!

(Wouldn't you like a nice and cool icecream now?)

Cheers, TheBat

[Robbert543]

Alright.

Took me a while to figure out how I was going to tackle this one, but eventually I came up with the most effective and easy way.

I made a plane (2X2) and extruded the outer edges. Then applied two bend modifiers. Also a Shell modifier, a Turbosmooth with 4 iterations, two noise modifiers, and a UVW Map modifier.

I placed the crisps using Reactor. I hope you like it. :)

[Hamburger86]

My entry :roll:

[meowmeow]

nice entries so far your making me hungry for junk food. unfortantly i dont think i have time for this weeks challange and i failed the last 2 :(

[liquidbear]

ok im going to throw my hat in the ring this time :) im a food lover so u got me hooked :)

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Loving the Pringles tube and the Toblerone two of my fave's for sure.

It's when they say once you pop you can't stop, i've never managed to open a Pringles tube and then leave anything behind lol.

The same for me, but without internet XD. So Im afraid I won't be able to post any entry. Have a good time!

[Psycho Mantis]

@ferry p ....? a midget c*ckring with ball-protector-bumpers or what? *scnr*

[DaddyDoom]

Most likely...
Those crazy dutch are way ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to kinkiness... They are the Devil's minions.

[Psycho Mantis]

that explains a lot. but they make some very nice hardcore techno over there.

[Ferry P]

@ferry p ....? a midget c*ckring with ball-protector-bumpers or what? *scnr*

I wear it all day, and then eat it before I go to bed.

[Psycho Mantis]

hmmm, sweet and salty. always a win-combo.

[NitroLiq]

I'm surprised no one's busted out Maya's PaintFX food brushes, yet...instant burgers with or without cheese and lettuce. ;)

[Robbert543]

Awesome entry, Ferry! :D

EDIT:

here's my second entry:

a salty stick.

[DavidLyon]

Hi everyone. Long time visitor, first time participant. Here's a regular bag of chips. Still not good at textures and stuff. Is anyone going to post a quick tut on doing a clay render with C4D? I'm new to it.

Dang...I just noticed a few of my chips colliding with each other. Ah well, live and learn.

[Robbert543]

Since I am so bored lately, I have quite some time to create stuff for this competition.

Here's my third entry:

[DaddyDoom]

Great entries ppl.

[Thad]

its been a while, my third time entering a contest. ;P

damn, the first time i wrote "RENDER 80min" i meant LIGHTING 80min. my bad. if needed ill correct it.

ddlight your cake made my hungry ;)

[ATM]

thad why dont u just use 4 plane with a mask. u spend so much time and did a very high polygon for a popcorn box lollll...

[Thad]

thad why dont u just use 4 plane with a mask. u spend so much time and did a very high polygon for a popcorn box lollll...

i thought about doing it with nurbs at first but i settled for polygon (did 1 round part and then copy/pasted it), it took about 5min to do the box, and i do enjoy moving vertices. the good thing about it is that i used the faces for the shader so no mapping there.

the popcorn itself gave me a hard time and i endedup setteling for what you see there, its not great i´m aware of it. :grr:

[ATM]

i seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I was just eatin some fries so i decided to make a little scene of it hahahaha
I dont wanna be a part of this competition it was just for fun.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

My first entry in a LOOOOOOOONG time.

I've since changed from max to maya :O

And of course, I haven't a clue about lighting in maya, and am pretty terrible at using hypershader at the moment :} alas, here is my entry.

It took a RIDICULOUS amount of time. All up a little over an hour. The problem was I made the mesh flat, and then folded it together. Of course, the reason I did this was to get it as accurate as possible. The model is actually to scale :} hehehe. Also, it would've been too easy just doing a box.. :p Stupid idea :} but I learned a few things.. :p also, I should've unwrapped BEFORE folding.. would've been A LOT easier. OH WELL!!

Took ~60min in Maya 2009. Software render. Crappy lighting. Meh texture :} Also, I've got no idea how to do a nice clay render in maya, but I tried :)

[Cherryade]

Hi everyone
This is my very first time here. Can someone let me know if i posted this wrong? Since i have attached my pics, this means i have officially entered the contest right?

SPeed Modelling #70 Feeling Peckish 1st Entry
My tools:
3Ds Max 2009
Photoshop
Mental Ray Renderer (in max 2009)

Took me ages to find nice textures for the beauty pic :P

[Cherryade]

How come my clay render pic has disappeared?? *confused* :)

Oops now its back ... sorry false alarm ... my monitor must be going crazy :P

[SnappedStrings]

Okay, I hope I did this right.

This is my first time entering the modeling challenge, so if I did something wrong, please let me know so I can fix it ASAP

Cosmic Brownies!

[Cherryade]

Robbert543 I Really Like This! Yum! :) The Valentine Chocolates look wonderful!

[Cherryade]

Great cosmic brownies snapped strings! Yumm!:)

[DaddyDoom]

Nothing better to munch after a lazy afternoon in the sun than some Frito's (corn snacks) :D Anyone to give that a go? I invite you all to come over :D
Great entries folks. Been struggling with a huge dose of holiday slacking so I get the strength to even attempt an entry for this challenge :P
Psycho, see ya here next year? CG?

Stay cool ye all!!!
DD

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

whos, mine? doesnt it just have to be not larger than 1280x1024?

Everyone really, it's best to stick to 2 images both at 1280x1024 or 1024x1280 :)

It's not difficult and makes all your entries look great. :)

[prophet74]

Mmmmm...Jello! Had it for dessert tonight, so I felt compelled to model it.
30 Min Model, 20 Min Textures

[penguins]

Well here is my entry. Peanuts.
Software used, Maya and mental ray.
I am wondering if my clay render is OK. Its just an ambient occlusion. Does that fit the new rules?
Good luck to all.

[Cherryade]

The peanuts and jello look really good! :)

[dirtty]

Wish me luck :) First entry ever....Hope things turn out well.
BTW Chuppa Chups my favourite lollipop. Right now I am sucking on one hehe

[penguins]

Dirrty, Haha I love those things,Looks nice.

Cherryaded, Your cake looks delicious, I want a slice.

[Cherryade]

Thank you so much Penguin! You can have the whole mango mousse cake!! :)

Dirtty the lollipops are awesome! So proud of you! Love the textures n model! Was it hard to make the wrapper wrap around the stick? Did you have to unwrap? Now we just have to wait and see what shoeballs comes up with :)

[dirtty]

Thanks Cherryade & Penguin- both your work are fantastic !
Cherryade - yes I unwrapped the model and applied different colored maps.
Have fun :)

[dirtty]

Ok decided to make some muffins as well....not sure if they good enough. These are strawberry and chocoloate muffins with blueberries on top..... :lurve:

[EpiPlayer]

I'm surprised noone has done this yet... (unless i missed it.) some of these entries look quite tasty i must admit. here is my crackers and spinach dip. i'm quite proud of the textures... they're homemade :)

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Wonderful entries by all :)

CG.

[Cherryade]

Epiplayer your textures are really good. especially for the biscuits! good modelling too :)
