Speed Modelling Challenge 106 - Hero/Villain Equipment

Marty_McFly-3DT · 06-07-2006, 02:42 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 12th of July 2006
Subject - Hero/Villain Equipment
Suggested By - DerekSc

Hero/Villain Equipment: Think of what Bruce Wayne does the minute he gets in the Bat-cave after a long night of fighting crime... he drops his utility belt and gloves on the desk!

Model things a super hero/villain or not so super hero/villain might use. Either make something identifiable to a current hero, or make up something of your own. Be creative!

Have Fun and Good Luck!

Not to nitpick but. . .

DigitalPutty · 06-07-2006, 02:54 AM

TWO WEEKS! :O Yeah! WOOT!

ClassicGamer-3DT · 06-07-2006, 03:00 AM

Oh yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!! two whole weeks to make superhero gadgetry, assessories etc. Now this is a SMC i'm gonna love!!!!! great idea Marty, i like your Captain America sheild, very simple and very nice

I do think that the Sword Of Omens is beckoning me

or He-man's battle sheild

Spider-man's Web Shooters, of parts of Iron Man's Battle Suit!!!!!

The possibilities of existing creations is incredible, then there is the "make something up" part to explore too

excellent

This is gonna be a good 2 weeks, i'm looking forward to seeing lots of entries for this one.

Kind Regards
