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. The key is for us to be able to see the wireframes clearly to ascertain how you modelled the subject matter.

4). You MUST include the following details with each submission:

A). Software used
B). Time spent creating the model.
C). A Clay Render of your models.

Any further information is voluntary but posts not containing the required information can be removed and the poster disqualified.

5). Post TWO images 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 combined with a optional beauty render.
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 it 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 & 2nd place (i.e. the runner up) can claim a prize.

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

It's been a while since the last time I entered

Would have loved to model more sweet things but I ran out of time :ugh: The chocolate drizzle details are the first practical use of the 'strips' freeform tool that I've ever encountered. Not perfect, but it works well enough.

I didn't keep track of texturing and rendering time, but it was well over 3 hours :hurt:

Well, I'm not personally very satisfied with my entry this week. Turns out, I needed a lot more time for this model. There were lots of other aspects of the boat that I wanted to model, and the whole thing looks too rushed (which it was!). The hull itself took me way longer than I thought it would to get the right shape. (note: chocolate/water was created afterwards as environment)

Of course, if you can't tell by the picture, this is supposed to be the boat from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" where they ride on the chocolate river!

Enjoy...

I bought a ton of games last week Batman Arkham Asylum, GTA IV & The Ballad Of Gay Tony, Street Fighter IV, DC Vs Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat, Lego Harry Potter Years, Star Wars, LA Noire, F.E.A.R, Mass Effect 2, Prince Of Persia Trilogy, The Orange Box, Sega Megadrive Ultimate Collection, DJ Hero, & Duke Nuken :) I've not had a PS3 for long only about a couple of months so trying to get up to speed with this superb games.

Very cool list there, I purchased somed more today and a few others arrived, some are hard to get to grips with at first like Brink, but i've got amongst others

The Sabotuer,
Split Second Velocity,
Borderlands,
The Bourne Conspiracy,
Red Dead Redemption (visually stunning i think),
Haze,
Destroy All Humans,
Wolfenstein,
Tomb Raider Anniversary,
InFamous (waiting for InFamous 2 to come down in price a little),
Fallout 3,
Formula One Championship Edition,
Stuntman Ignition,
Wheelman,
Stranglehold,
Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Fate Of Two Worlds,
Timeshift,
Kane & Lynch Dog Days (will be getting the first one as it's cheap now),
Call Of Juarez Bound In Blood,
Terminator Salvation,
Crysis 2,
Just Cause 2,
Resistance 2,
Assassin's Creed.

I was wondering about getting the move kit? is it better than the Wii? I saw that a number of games are move compatible, particularly the heavy rain game amongst others.

Anyway back on topic, will hopefully get started on the brief artwork & starter for SMC #22 later today/tomorrow.
