Speed Modelling Challenge 88 - Coffee Brewer/Maker

[Marty_McFly-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


Time limit - 60 minutes
Deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 8th of March 2006

Area51 was actually 86&87, playground was 85, so they're just fixing it so we're on the right week after last weeks typo...
Did that make any sense? Argh! Brain melting from speed modeling!
... not a bad topic for a speed modeling challenge... brain melting.
Would prefer more organic stuff, but what the hey, I'll give this one a shot.
Ok, I have to ask... can we composite it onto a picture of a kitchen counter or something?
(and by the way, WOW you mods are on fire with the judging today! good stuff!)

Way to go Derek! Brain melting was going to be next week's challenge... but now you've ruined the surprise! Now we're going to have to come up with something else!

As for you question on compositing... yes. You can composite it onto a picture of a kitchen counter or something... as long as you make sure the model is completely visible. I judge more harshly on models that I can't see very well. Actually, the same goes for wireframes as well.

Thanks for the kudos on the judging. We've been trying to get things back on track for a while. I'm kind of displeased with my progress as I wanted things to be caught up a long time ago... but it just didn't work out that way. Luckily Fastrak has kept me in line and hopefully we'll have it all caught up soon!

[prats]

I'll have to agree that this topic is very interesting. I hope I can give in an entry...
Mods have been really busy this week...looks like they need the coffee maker more often Its actually very inspiring to see so many challenges being judged at the same time.

[SubCroC]

nice challenge subject.well done Fastrak, ur model gives the feel of oldie type.great.

[DerekSc]

What can I say, I get in the brain melting modeling mood and I can't stop.
So without further delay, here is my entry for this week.
The original can be found at www.kitchencontraptions.com, and there's lots of other cool ones there as well.
Details: done in Maya 7, 50 mins for the model, 2 hours for lights, textures, and rendering. (And no compositing after all my bellyaching about it.)
Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with for this one!
...and why not, one of these:
Woohoo! Look at him go!
