SMC #49 "Be Quiet & Face The Front" - Classroom

[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: Classroom.
Deadline - 10:00PM GMT 20th April 2012.
Description: A classroom is a room in which teaching or learning activities can take place. Classrooms are found in educational institutions of all kinds, including public and private schools, home schools, corporations, and religious and humanitarian organizations. The classroom attempts to provide a safe space where learning can take place uninterrupted by other distractions. Most classrooms have a large writing surface where the instructor or students can share notes with other members of the class. Traditionally, this was in the form of a blackboard but these are becoming less common in well-equipped schools, and are replaced by flipcharts, whiteboards and interactive whiteboards. Many classrooms also have TVs, maps, charts, Pencils, books, monographs and LCD projectors for presenting information and images from a computer. In this challenge you can model anything from a playschool classroom all the way up to university computer classrooms, the choice as ever is all yours

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!

My Starter

I really really enjoyed this one & might have another go later, mograph cloners & instances helped a huge amount with this creation.

[rocneasta]

i might just return to the classroom, since i'm in the office still, and take some reference photos

It's up to you what you want to create, there are no rules other than speed and get the artwork in time , thing i learnt best last night

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Yeah rocneasta is absolutely right, in this challenge you can create any element that a classroom has & if you wish to assemble those elements into a classroom scene like my starter then feel free, but you only have 90 minutes to model all parts for a scene. I'm looking into making either a computer lab or a light projector later if I get chance..... I rather enjoy modelling chairs, tables & desks though, you could even go for a really old desk when they had ink wells in them and hinged lids, or go for an 80's inspired desk littered with graffiti and stickers (remember doing that ..... Saying "got, got, need, swap, got, swap, need etc" lol) so create what you'd like that you'd find in the classroom

[needse]

[MStandar]

[pavolsvk]

[bakuryu06]

Nice! I like IT pavolsk! R u going for a more modern classroom?

[pavolsvk]

Im glad you like it guys!

bakuryu06- The reference was some kind of older wooden desk, but my version looks a little more modern indeed

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

with less than a day left to this challenge we finally have an entry! I don't know why but everyone must be so so busy there's hardly been any action in the stylised challenge either

Two choices...... another week extension or movie props SMC?

[bakuryu06]

Whaaaaat, only 1 day left??? im working on mine lol! but yea, between full time work, part time school and other activities it is tough to find a lot of time. But i will have mine soon. So the second option you placed is that we can cancel this and do a MOVIE Prop SMC?

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

yep indeedy!
