SMC #51 "Yummy In Your Tummy" - Realistic Food

[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. 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!

Subject: Realistic Food.
Deadline - 10:00PM GMT 18th May 2012.
Description: In this challenge it's probably the most difficult one of all. In order to re-create food in 3D it will be a particularly hard task both in style & shape aswell as form itself..... this will need to be studied very carefully in order to achieve a satisfying result. In this challenge you can choose to model a meal or any element of food groups that constitute a meal.... this could be in the form of pasta, meats, cheeses, fruits or vegetables. As always the choice is yours.... i'd personally love someone to make a realistic 3D fish & chips!

Modelling Time: 90 Mins.

Prizes:

1st Place - £30 worth of 3DTotal downloadable products & a gold award badge.
2nd Place - £10 worth of 3DTotal downloadable products & a silver award badge.
Honourable Mentions - Bronze Award Badges

Above All Else Have Fun & Good Luck!

whatever you can eat is food (just don't go too wild on the notion i can eat nails etc ) so yea beverages should be included, but not the main focus. As a side thing, if you have time left from modelling food.

[Shinamori]

I've never modeled food before. That's why I asked if we could do like just a beverage, like a case of wine.

[Bob Marley]

Well I m french and I eat snails and they are soooo gooood!!! Damn I should have thought of that : (

[McFly]

Think frog legs Bob.

I think the challenge should include food from any where in the world. I eat certain types of food that other people might find weird.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

The challenge can include any type of meal/food that you can purchase...... so tired, yet so bored in this hospital right now..... will try to sleep again now.

any progress update? how are you holding up

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Yeah amputation is set for tomorrow at 1pm. Not had it done any earlier due to staffing problems, emergencies & today's bank holiday in the uk. I'm not feeling too bad, the worst part is the boredom, they don't have any tv's on this ward, no hospital radio & nothing to read unless you as a visitor to go to the shop for you. They haven't got good wifi either so been using my own 3G on my iPhone which isn't great & my iPad is the wifi only do I can't do anything but very slowly surf the Internet on it. Been playing on a lot of games & garage band but they only entertain for so long. So a lot of time is spent on the iPhone or iPad reading whatever ebooks/pdf's I have. The worst part will be after the op, I'm still gonna be stuck here as I have to heal to a certain percentage before they will discharge me home!

I could be doing so much at home, working being one of them. Before I was admitted in I was right at the end of finishing up the medical animation I've been working so hard on and had submitted the final animation which had taken me an additional 60-65 hours to complete, then later when I was in A&E I got an email saying there was further stupid minor changes, changes that had already been signed off but there's nothing I can do about it & the deadline is the 15th of may at this rate I'll still be in here till then. So I don't know what's gonna happen there I feel really bad about it, but it's not like I planned this.

Anyway there are worse people in here than me.

[rocneasta]

Hmm, boredom is a killer, and hospitals are epicentres of the aforesaid.

About the animation, have you got someone that could help you finish the project so it doesn't go to waste. I mean if you can trust someone to do the job properly. Would be a shame, since you put so much effort in it
