speed modelling challenge week 44 - Hair Drier

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 4th May 2005
subject - HairDrier

Approach this one how you like: your subject gives the scope to do anything from a simple model to a complex machine.

I am sure we all know the basics of WHAT your entries are going to have to be capable of doing. Show care to damage the hair as little as possible in the process.
The cables and accessories are not obligational; but it wouldn't hurt to do them as well.

Andy & Black

A starter:

Modeled in MaYA - Less than 60 minutes
Rendered in MaYA - 1 or so minutes
Postwork - PhotoShop

Hmm... was that geared at anyone inpaticular? I can't help but feel a certain glare my way when reading this.

As per your other comment... as long as you and I know the truth... that's all that matters. But you will no longer be able to pull the wool over my eyes. I do know the truth now... but I'll keep the evidence to myself for now. The fact that you threatened me with pies though... that's just wrong. I thought we were friends...

Thanks for being concerned SarN, yes I am around anbd as Black has already said really busy. I sent you a PM but never got a reply - as it was urgent I assumed you were unavailable - no problem, there will be other stuff I need assistance with in the future

Big thanks to Black for bettingh this challenge up and running, I had a meeting with a client this evening (which masqueraded as an evening out) so I couldn't be here for the deadline.

Judging for the last few weeks will hopefully be completed in the next couple of days - I'm almost up to speed

Well, it got late and I have to much coffine in my blood to have any chance of sleep right now, so I thought, why not make some 3d. So here is my hair dryer. I can only say one thing: Turbo Smooth rocks But thought I could get more work done on it, but had some errors that I had to clean up, so I didn't get as far as I wanted. The model is create using polyedit.

Cool whuahh

A quicky (this time really ). Facts in the pic.

anyway.. idea is basing on a hair drier we had ages ago. I don't have a hair drier in house anymore, because short hair dry from alone... no need for hot air. :-)

regards,
tokai

I forgot to tell: composing in photoshop, less than 10 minutes.
