Speed Modelling Challenge 75 - BackPack

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


Time limit - 60 minutes
Deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 7th of December 2005
Subject - BackPack


The subject can be interpreted as a complex model or a simple one; as in all weeks.
We hold you free on your creativity: You may model a backpack AKA rucksack or a Knap sack in a design/use of your choice... even a KangarooPack (A reversed backpack that you carry on your tummy instead of your back)
We only insist that you ensure that the model has two straps attached to it. Straps that are suitable for both shoulders to carry the load comforatbly.

Andy, Marty, Fastrak and Black


Good Luck!

Thumbs up nice topic

hi all,

I'm actually writing this message for Hammering3D, my boyfriend, who couldn't post an entry in the Seashell competition as he spent (and still does) some time in the hospital for some exams.

Anyway, I hope he'll be back for this new topic which sounds really nice and i'm sure there will be so many great looking models.

Good luck everyone!

First!

Here's my backpack, unfortunately I couldn't photo texture it cuz I lost my camera cable lol. . .good thing we aren't rated on texturing!

Yeah, if I find the cable I'll slap a texture on real quick.

It will be a difficult subject to texture... this is of the few entries I decide not to worry about the textures.

None the less doesn't stop you from trying. It is a good practice

lol yea.i think texturing can only tell the model here.when i first saw the subject i thought that this needs a good texturing,if not then the modelling will be a trash.

My school backpack is a Jansport (very big brand here), but it has only one strap, that goes across the chest rather than straps that go around the arms...Is this not acceptable?
