SMC#05 - Lost Jungle - Morghan's Hut - Bluesummers

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Hey all,

I think I might try this one for size. I haven't entered a competition in ages, and now that I've lost all of my files I guess my Monday Movies are on hold indefinitely. This'll be a nice way to break my silence!

I'm going for something of a "Cook's Hut" similar to what's in "The Skillful Huntsman" by Design Studio Press. It'll be a good exercise for my atrophying artistic muscle to try to interpret some of these sketches into 3d.

I'll follow up with some roughs soon.

EDIT: FINAL
================================================== ==

More competition :) Yaeh... thats what i like it.

[chunkymunky]

welcome welcome welcome i'm sure you're entry into the competition will be a great addition :)

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Thx for the welcomes guys. I'm always a little wary of entering comps because it's been so long. The SMCs are nice though because they force you to be quick. :)

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Here's a shot at 1:15.

[chunkymunky]

Interesting style, looking promising :)

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Thanks Chunky. I'm not 100% certain this is the direction I wanted to go, though. I think it's turning out harder than I thought to get the window cut out of it to serve guests, and the interior is making less and less sense as I continue modeling. Might scrap and try a different route...

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

There we go. This is 0:45.

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Another perspective.

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

2 hour mark- half way. Time to start wrapping things up. I'm going to go grab some lunch and take a walk. Might have this done by tonight.

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Added a propane cooktop too.

[behemoth]

Very nice! got some solid details that work quite well with one another. Likin it so far, keep it up.

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Still working and taking frequent breaks to get fresh looks at it. I've got about 50 minutes left. I'll probably spend them on a staircase and maybe a few hanging pots/pans in the kitchen.

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

And the final.

The backstory here is that Morghan's hut is a restaurant and general store perched on a cliffside for safety. You have to climb the rickety stairs to get to it, and he won't always greet you with a smile. But the food's greasy and good, plus he always has some interesting stuff for sale.

And the cherry on top: I posted the file for download.

[chunkymunky]

Beautifully done, and that's very generous to pose the file on top, i'm pretty sure those who've got 3DS max will texture it for you :)

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Glad you like it Chunky. Yah, it might be good practice for someone who wants to do that. Should be easy to UVW too since it's mostly primitives.

By the way, I've posted the entire 3dsMax Monday Movie Tutorial Series (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=75525) to the tutorials forum. I know most people don't go over there, so I'm just posting a cross link. :)

[behemoth]

Very very nice! You have some great modeling here with awesome use of space and composition. Very strong piece!

[chichiri]

Well done, I love the different models which compose the scene, you managed to add a lot of little objects.

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Thanks guys! Glad you liked it! I guess one of the silver linings to the destruction of my computer was that I have more free time now.

Welcoming any critiques for the downloaded model, too!
