Speed Modelling Challenge 103 - Telephone Booth

[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 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 21st of June 2006
Subject - Telephone Booth


Telephone Booth: Well this can be taken a few different ways. Basically what's being looked for is a public telephone that you would find out in the street. Although the word booth suggests a closed environment, other non-closed phones will also be allowed. Yes, I'm also aware that a phone booth does not have to be outdoors, so indoor phone booths like those found in a theater or else where will also be allowed. Oh... and yes you must model out the phone as well. Although I shouldn't have to say this, I'll say it anyway... just in case. No cellphones... or mobile phones of any kind.

Oh... and an extra 10 points to the person who models the "S" man getting changed in a booth for his new movie! (Just kidding... it should really be worth an extra 50 points, but like Who's Line is it Anyway... the points don't matter. )

Have Fun and Good Luck!

this is not an entry but this is a phonebox i did about 2 years ago, and i copped out by frosting the glass, because i wasn't happy with the payphone modelling!

I'm much better now, so i'm gonna try and put as much details in, in the 60 mins!

Kind Regards

P.S - Just watched a rented Chicken Little, some of the modelling and rendering of the scenes in that film are awesome, they had a great phonebox in that too, might go for a cartoony look

LOL... No, Mr. Routh can be modeled seperately and be considered a prop for your phone booth. But if you do decide to model him out... you'd better do him proud!
