Speed Modelling Challenge 65 - Juicer

[Black]

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 28th of September 2005
subject - Juicer

The concept is as basic as this: You have to model out an appliance that is used to extract juice from a lemon, an orange or any simiallar citrious fruit (Prefferably leaving the juice still drinkable!).
This can be of an already existing design or you can create your own.

We are ofcourse intrested on how your method presented works;
so you shall have to add in an explanation if your entry is not too clear, if it is too odd or if it is too radical and way off the typical ways of getting the juice out.


Black and Andy

A quick starter (Design by Philippe Starck);
Modeling via NURBS in MayA under an hour
Texturing and rendering also in MaYA(The first time in years have I used the chrome shader as it is)
Put together in PhotoShop.

nice, see whats this week will bring us

[Agamemnwn]

Great. Let the inventing begin

[hammering3D]

Nice subject, it will be fun, and again we will se some crazy concepts
But where are U guys, already start modeling ahh ?
Good luck to all !!!

[Black]

Just a quick note again about the concept...

There are a lot of commercial products out there that grind/pulverise vegetables/Vegetable peaces and then shed them from their juice via centrifuging.
These machines are not particularily intended for our target citrus fruits.

But none the less; even they shall infact manage to get the juice out of them!
So they are still in the area of suitability.

Just squeeze the 'beep' out of them!

This will be interesting, I looked on the webs for different Juicers and there are not a lot of different ones/types so I will enjoy watching what different things people come up with, thereby using creativity to make their model look the best.

Here's my entry, I would have gone farther but Im actaully really on a time limit since I do this at school. It is something to do while Im waiting around.

[Nehumanuscrede]

Not sure if you will see an entry from me this week.

Seems I have a wee problem in the form of a mega-sized hurricane bearing down on my house :| Since most structures aren't designed with 150+ mph winds in mind, I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

Since I live a whopping twenty miles from Galveston Texas, I am currently under a mandatory evacuation order. ( Imagine my delight ) We will be heading out sometime tomorrow night. Thus, I don't think I'm gonna have a whole lot of time to put together a model this week.

In the event my house is actually still standing upon my return, I will see what I can do. If it isn't, I suppose I'll go find a place to live where things like hurricanes don't make an appearance from time to time. ( Arizona is looking better all the time )

Good luck man and stay alive!

[Black]

OUCH!!

The BEST of luck to you and to yours, and actually to everyone to stand in the path. Damn has nature really been reminding us that she is 'there' lately.

Your usual contribution will be very missed... I am sure we all wish you to get over this as good as you can and for you to come back Full-Power!

Scroll: Good job. It great that you like modeling enough to fit it into such a tight moment. And congrats on being the first model.(mutter mutter)


The handle comes down the fruit gets crunched and the juice comes out of the holes.

[Radulan]

Nehumanuscrede: Higher ground is better ground. I feel the pain. Good luck. and try to enjoy your time away.

[H2O-3DT]

Nehumanuscrede:

Best of luck to you, your family and friends.
Dont forget to grab your backup of your 3d
But seriously, best of luck to you and yours.

[Jor-Dan]

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Nehumanuscrede: Good Luck with the upcoming storm... after surviving Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne last year... I completely know what you're going through! Be safe!!!
