speed modelling challenge week 41 - toaster

[Andy_k-3DT]

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

[adamos]

At last. Now we talking. Toaster great idea. So much chrome and stuff like this.
Lets go to work. Its time to cook something

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Wow... cool subject... but... four pieces of toast? Who on Earth needs to make four pieces of toast... and at once! That's like having four wheels on a car... it's just madness!

I eat four, sometimes even six slices of toast at once... I love toast. And my toaster only has room for two slices.

[the_bully]

probably the same person who thought that you could dig up root vegetables, scrape the soil off them, cut them into thin slices and drown them in boiling fat before serving them up and calling them french fries

or the person that picked a tobacco leaf and decided to see what happened when you set fire to it

Ever listened to any Bob Newhart?

Andy

[escaped_monkey]

I'm more worried about the person who decided to pull on the dangly bits under a cow and drink whatever comes out...

[Black]

how about the funny guy that decided to take rice seeds plant them dry and then soak them in drowning water, pull them out before they blossom, reove the rice from the plant and boil them so you can eat them without breaking your teeth!

Don't even get me started through the process of seperating the wheat grians then crushing them to powder and then figuring out a way to make them breads to toast to begin with!

Who ever invents things like that?!

[frost000]

this seems interesting

I think I have an idea...

[Andy_k-3DT]

c'mon then guys, who's got the first model?
