Speed Modelling Challenge 102 - Speed Animation Trophy

Marty_McFly-3DT · 08-06-2006, 02:44 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 trender 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, The creation of displacement maps, normal maps and any splines drawn out in an external program other than your modeling software are to be included in your modeling time.

7, 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 14th of June 2006
Subject - Speed Animation Trophy

Speed Animation Trophy:

Ok everyone, it's time for us to help out our good buddies over in the Speed Animation Forums. They're busting their butts over there making bouncing balls, and and... bowling balls... and umm... other cool stuff! What do they have to show for it??? Well... that's our jobs to figure out. We need you gals and guys to make them some trophys. We need a first, second, and third place trophy. You should incorperate either 3D Total or Threedy into the image... either by logo or just text.

Also, there will be three winners this week (for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places)... but there will not actually be a CD prize this week. The reason for this is because you will be contributing to 3D Total and Threedy for future Speed Animation challenges.

Have Fun and Good Luck!

Marty

There's no starter this week... basically because time has been a bit short on me (part of the reason for this will be explained below), and I'm sure you guys have a handle on making a trophy.

Also, Fastrak-3DT is no longer with us. His job as a teacher has kicked him into overdrive and has really put a dent in his free time. We here at Threedy wish him the best of luck and hope to see his return one day! Good Luck Fastrak!

On the plus side of things... I was able to get a few more challenges judged and they'll be up in just a few moments! I'm going to try to keep things going here guys... you'll just have to have a little more patience now that I'm on my own!

Thanks for your time...

Its sad to see Fastrak go, I've admired his work since i joined threedy early last year. but i wish him luck with his teaching job and hope to see him back in the future.

Nice topic, I just have one question. Will we have to model all three (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) trophies for one entry? or can we just model one.

No, you only need to model one trophy. The judging will go by what's the best 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place model.
