Speed Modelling Challenge 109 - (Hang or Backpack) Glider

[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, 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 - 90 minutes
Deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 2nd of August 2006
Subject - (Hang or Backpack) Glider


(Hang or Backpack) Glider : Take to the Skies Part 2 is now here. The idea here is to model out some sort of Hang Glider... or a Glider that attaches to your back. This means no Gliders that have a cockpit of any kind. Hopefully my starter should get you guys on the right track!


Have Fun and Good Luck!

You may call it what you wish... but it doesn't have to conform to the traditional rules of what a hang glider is. Besides... you have to hold on with your hands...

Hey everyone... just a heads up... the Suggest A Challenge thread will be open for 1 week starting today. Please note the rules of the thread in the first post on page 1. Posts that ignore the rules will be Deleted! Now get to work people!

Straight away thought of the classic film - Condorman at the end of the film when he glides away in his Condor Glider

Topic: Condorman Glider
Modelling Time: ~80mins
Program: 3D Studio Max

[Trimyr]

Man, Condorman was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Terrible movie looking back, but you did a great job on the glider.

I hadn't done anything with nurbs since the communcation device challenge, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It took a while to get used to again, but I think it turned out pretty good. Of course, that also means no blocky wire to go with it.

Software: 3DS Max 8
Modeling: 80 minutes

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Nice topic for the challenges, i hope to try to find some time to make a few models.

Some nice entries coming in too.

Kind Regards

Classic Gamer
