Speed Modelling Challenge 132 & 133 - Animaniacs

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

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 modeling 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 containing 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 allocated 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 recognizable.

8, Posting the same entry twice in a challenge will result in a disqualification. When asked to fix a previous post due to DQ or any other reason, you must fix the first post, or delete it altogether and create a new one.

These rules apply to everybody taking part there will be NO exceptions

Time limit - 60 minutes
Deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 24th of January 2007
Subject - Animaniacs

Animaniacs: It's the Warner Bros... and the Warner Sister! Ok, the idea here is to model out something from the Animaniacs universe! You can make a character, or something else that fits within the world of Animaniacs like the water tower, or even Pinky and The Brain's cage.

Have Fun and Good Luck!

Nice one, hope to be a very funny challenge...

Nice subject, though 60 minutes for a character is going to be pushing the limits I think. I've been trying to create Minerva in 3D for years and have yet to do it and keep it ' on model '.

Even have a porcelain sculpture of ' Brain ' on my desk at work.

I have a few character model sheets from the Animaniacs series so if you can't find what you're looking for on the web, yell and I'll see if I have it.

It's gonna be awhile until the results come in. We're still waiting on the results for a few challenges before that one.

Well I think you've done an excellent job with the modelling of Pinky, he looks very cool and looks exactly like the cartoon, so fantastic work there, you're lighting is a little too dark, but other than that and really great entry, inspiring me to maybe consider doing a character myself, i've been modelling a couple of entries based on the objects/scenes of the Animaniacs universe so I might give it a try.

Nice entry jaminben. I suggest you next time make the wireframe bigger, then it will be much easier for moderators to judge your model.

Looks like the intrest is quite low on this one! Come on now boys and girls let me see some modeling skills!

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

OK, well just a quicky from me, I had the time to spare and was in the mood. It didn't take too long to make, but I think it's quite charming. Just thought i'd post a simple entry firstly, I'm determined to make a character again, after last weeks entries worked out well (eventually) i feel i might (emphasis of might) be able to make a basic character model in the time limit, i'm thinking along the lines of Yakko, basically he's the taller guy with the trousers, which will also mean that i've only got to model the top torso and the head and arms etc, and the feet, the trousers won't take to long to model out, and I can use something called Clothilde in Cinema 4D to make it better and easier. So that's what's coming up.

Come on everyone, remember it doesn't have to be a character, just model something from the Warner Bros Animaniacs Universe, there's loads to choose from

As for this, here it is.

Kind Regards
