speed modelling challenge - week 45 - Compass

Andy_k-3DT · 05-05-2005, 03:47 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

hammering3D · 05-05-2005, 04:12 AM

uff, I think is a little hard for me, but is a good oportunitie to learn new thigs, and defenitly texturing

adamos · 05-05-2005, 04:19 AM

yeah right

Destroythenseek · 05-05-2005, 04:35 AM

Love the model...

Can someone help me with HDRI texturing? I never really understood how to use it.

Andy_k-3DT · 05-05-2005, 04:39 AM

it depends on which software you are using and even then there are different ways to achieve the results.

For me (using Cinema 4D) I find it's best to use the HDRI image as the "sky" and by boosting it's luminance I can control the overall lighting level and maybe add a couple of local lights to boost shadows.

For Max users, I think one of our regulars Orkron has an HDRI tutorial on his website

Destroythenseek · 05-05-2005, 04:49 AM

go to http://www.splutterfish.com you will need brazil, if you dont have one you can still read it and easily you can translate it to a skylight and light tracer

btw: hdri images are common used to illuminate object not for texturing

best regards
