The SMC's - #71 - "Anyone Fancy A Pint?"

[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.

4). You must include the following details with each submission: software used and time spent creating the model. 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 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 can claim a prize.

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

New participant reporting.

I'm a student of mechanical engineering, so i use different software, but even so i still do modelling, and I hope to be welcome in this challenge.

Anyway, here's my entry: a model of a glass i got from my granny some time ago.

I know my wireframe isnt "real", but inventor 2009 does not seem to have a function to make wireframes in 3dsmax or maya style, it only shows edges.

Edit: i must have forgotten the clay render while searching for the wireframe. Anyway, here it is.

[Shinamori]

Not bad. I'll post mines once it gets done rendering.

[Rachel vd M]

never thought the subject would be this transparent

Rachel vd M: That pun made my day.
@using cad. Great idea. Lets just hope the wire frame fits the bill.

[Rotterdam]

Here's my entry

Some details:
Modeling time: 65 min.
Program: 3DS Max 2009
Renderer: V-Ray 1.5

@ Zilder: You must be a diehard Inventor-user, I'm also a mechical engineer and I know Inventor can be a real pain-in-the-ass

Indeed the pyramid cut-outs required some creativity to make, as there is no basic shape generator .

I can only look in ave at the organic shapes you can put forward.

[Shinamori]

EDIT:

Going to do another one.

SHOEBALLS

Alright my first entry ever :P
And I thought I'd go nuts with it

Used 3ds Max, Mental ray renderer and photoshop for post work which only includes the text you see in the images..

I've included, Glass render, Clay render, Wire render and my concept sheet.. I didn't mention it within the pictures but the concept took me under 5 to think of.. I even made pop tarts during..

Thanks, any comments would be appreciated.

EDIT. Sorry about the wire render, completely overlooked removing the smoothing on it.. I've reposted it as a screen capture, hopefully a lot clearer now

[RazorGun]

My first Speed Modelling Challenge

I hope my entry is okay ...
