[Tiberiy]

"Fresnel" just good name for concept :) but you give me nice idea!
PS Your time mashine is very pretty ;)

[Rachel vd M]

thx, for the compliment,

to iterate it a bit more, a fresnel lens is a lens that consists of a deformed lense so it ocupies less space/glass

here is a example of a normal and a fresnel lens:

Hi! Some update: evaporation mechanism. After 70 min.

[zipel]

Great detailing, if you have the time maybe sharpen the edges a bit.

[Tiberiy]

may be) but I need to modeling so many parts: body, drill, chassis..

[TNTxGRAVE]

I agree with Zipel. The detailing is great and the machine looks very functional. Just that the edges look a bit dough-ey.

[Tiberiy]

Hi! some update: I started doing body and drill.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

looking good!

[Tiberiy]

finally came time to finish the project. Many do not have time to do, but overall pleased with the result.

[Tiberiy]

new render)

[hammering3D]

one of my favorite for sure. Like th original concept, the modeling and details.

To many favorites this challenge, I am glad that we don't vote :D let the hard part on moderators shoulders ;P

[Tiberiy]

Thank you, damn nice =) I like these competitions, I get the pleasure of devising and implementing the project. I hope to continue and further, but will try to work even better

[hammering3D]

Yes if we participate more and more, we become better and better, and faster :D

[andrewhall1234]

I really like the concept, seems a lot of thought went in to this one!!

Only thing i can crit on is the size of the drill bit:) Would have been better bigger, In my opinion.

Good work though
