speed modelling challenge week 40 - CD labeller

Black · 31-03-2005, 02:49 AM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rules are simple

1, Each week 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 modelling 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 will 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 but it must include a clear and easy to see wire frame of the mesh before any smoothing/subdivision has been applied. Please use a screen grab. No other method is acceptable and any "wire renders" or wireframes we can't see properly will be removed and the poster 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 containg the required information will be removed and the poster disqualified.

5, Post only one image submission per entry which must be no larger than 800x600 pixels in either landscape or portrait format with a file size of no more than 100k. These images must be uploaded to our servers using the "browse" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images Files. 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, time spent on rendering or texturing or building a scene in which to display your model is not included in the alocated 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 recognizeable.

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

this weeks challenge

time limit - 60 minutes
deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 6th April 2005
subject - CD-Labeler

Approach this one how you like: your subject gives the scope to do anything from a simple model to a complex machine. Just make sure that it LABELS the CD and doesn't break, scratch or damage it in the process.
Be creative!

nice starter Black and thanks very much for stepping in

we'll really try and catch up with the judging of the previous challenges this week - things were a little hectic and then I took a few days holiday (well I have to spend some time with the family

).

Hopefully we'll have everything sorted this week

Family time is alwayse a nesessty. I spend every night with my family... I wish I had a vacation.. just a short one.

Black · 31-03-2005, 06:25 AM

No problem, and thank you Andy;

Sorry for the late reply... back to work on this side

Actually I had to really rush it through.. So as I look at it; I am sort of amazed at how come it looks like it does.

Destroythenseek · 31-03-2005, 06:26 AM

Top of the nightish/day everyone...

Kinda rushed this- so sorry for not really getting into full detail

Modelling 30 minutes.
Rendering, default scan line- under a minute, what do you expect?!
Texturing- did it as I went, but under 5 minutes. haha

This CD labeller is a "laser" ink CD laberler- comes fully set to be hooked up to a computer, hooks up with a basic a USB cord- Plug and play- the software is already aboard the minicomputer- with a 8" monitor, for preview, and process completion information.

The claw in the middle is mechanized from underneath- it moves up and down (cylinder part) and fetches the CD's from the stock pile- the amount to label is set from the computer.
Rollers on supporting the CD- with a soft rubber material- roll and spin the cd in a circle, allowing full access to the CD.

Its gentleness and elegance give you quite the show! If you set to demo or dance mode- the mechanized claw will do tricks- perfectly.

Only 33000000 Yen.

As much as the entry is humour intended.. doesn't that rise the question; if you should have modeled the hand?
This is the printer part of the process, isn't it?

I understand Orkron is in the salt mines.. and Marty is .. well Marty. But Where's Inspired? Trying to break his bad habbits?

Adamos; you can repost your image after you have rerendered shall you please. It would ofcourse be better shall you state or ask this first. But the general rule is that as long as you don't remodel things or modify them... it is safe.

Wow black thanks a lot forgot all about me.

I want to give this one a go but time is never on my side,

Destroythenseek · 31-03-2005, 09:58 AM

Nice sharpie none-the-less Unregisterd. :-D

Kaze_SR · 31-03-2005, 10:01 AM

I googled for a CD labeler and I got all sorts of boxes of softwares for creating your own cd labels.. I found 2 machines to label CDs and they were so weird and awkward... this subject is interresting but I will have a hard time to find the inspiration... hehehe

Good luck everyone

And you are?

Destroythenseek; Well I am not really putting out so as to say that "you posted a DQ" for Unregistered..
But look at it this way.. the title and etc is printed onto the sticker right? Then the labler sticks it onto the CD.
So the marker prints it.. but the hand gets it on the CD.

You know this could just go on for a few pages if you observe all the options.
