Kind Regards

CG.

Thank you CG, you were fast.

Well the idea I was telling you, is. To open a sticky called... lets say, "Smc's how did you..." or Smc tip and tricks

And example, if I enter other user's smc thread, and I like some kind of...form he/she modelled, I'll write in his/her post : hey xxxxx how in earth you did that tricky form?

And he/she kindly will go to the smc sticky..... and make a mini tut, with some steps/images or an animated gif.

It's all about mini tuts, nothing long, making of or complete tutorials, only a tip and tricks thread so we all can learn something... things explained in the key steps. As you did in a thread where you explained how to do holes.

Dunno if I've cleared my idea with my damn English. Hope you like the idea... of course you can improve it with more ideas :D

See you got the idea. But, it will be awesome if it is sticky forever, I mean, not sticky into an only smc.

Tomorrow I will do the tut for clayrendering in Modo.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

That's the idea that i'll include it as a permanent feature :)

Sorry for the delay, but here it is, as promised, if something is not clear please tell me and I will try to make it better.

During this challenge, I have recieved countless private messages on how i was able to get my clay renders. I used 3d max and mental ray's daylight system. This tutorial i found shows exactly what i did to get those renders. Hope it helps.

Heres an Idea for a future challenge. Lets Say every superhero we know (DC, Marvel, Image, Darkhorse) All live in the same world. For speed modeling we would have a choice to either re-design or create a vehicle for the heroes, OR For the Villains we would create their ultimate weapon of doom.

smc could do organic and non organic alternatively.
and to make it cooler we can make it a live challenge .

if live challenge is possible it can be done in 2 ways.
1)one online member challenges the other online members to quick battle of modelling ,a moderator keeps time , its not mandatory to finish the time limit in one sitting , but u have to announce and let mod and others know u r calling the day off.
we could limit number of sittings (i.e max 3 sittings for a 90 minute duration)

2)express live challenge.
3d total main site announce that a live challenge is on . the whole duration will be dealt there and then . Here mods decide the topic , and they check that everyone stays within duration. if the mod decides an interval then the interval will be for all
. the challenge becomes short and many can be held in one day to cater to all time zones.

Or something more mundane, like what a Superhero's bathroom looks like. Or the Villian's disguised ultimate weapon of doom hidden in a hot dog vendor cart.

i like the way you think alfonzoaqui

my suggestion.
after the cold winter, when the snow came in, comes a hot summer, and after all the ice drilling operations follows the hard-core mining operations with gigant mining mashines. something like terex rh400 and so on. this is for speed modeling. as for sculpting - something that woke up after a milions years of sleep frozen in ice and now woke up to rome the free world. as for mate painting - world after an ice age. as for low poly - new world hunters.
would be interesting :)

or we could all buy a plane ticket to CG and speed model our stomachs to the fullest by eating as much candy as we possibly can, i'm sure he has some :p
