The New SMC's - 043 - Speed Demons

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

1, Each challenge 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 can 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 can be removed and the poster disqualified.

5, Post only one image submission per entry which must be no larger than 1024x768 pixels in either landscape or portrait format with a file size of no more than 195k. These images must be uploaded to our servers using the "browse" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images files. Images 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 is considered to be double posting and 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!

speed demons.. do they only have to be scooters.. or can you do something more extreme.. like the bike from judge dread.. or something like that

[Psycho Mantis]

damn - i wasted the lightbike on the give me all your money smc...

how about him ?

SCNR

i hope i have time to partycipate. looks to be a promising challenge

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

You could do an extreme judge dread scooter, but we are thinking and leaving it within the push style and mini engined scooters range.

There's lots of different types of scooters out there though. I remember having the small push scooter as a kid, which folded in half to carry indoors.

Oh god I hate that Scooter band, it's the most annoying euro pop tripe ever lol.

ok.. well i have a scooter in mind.. does it make any difference that it would become a robot aswell.. its an all time classic from the 80's cartoon program.. hopefully i can pull it off good enough in the time frame.

[le1setreter]

Agreed, the starter's a nice one.
Hey CG, what's the word on judging for 41/42?

[Daye]

jet engines. . . . .

It'll be a little longer i'm afraid, H20 isn't too well at the moment, neither am I, and Marty is still getting storms in his area i'm afraid.

We'll try to judge then as soon as possible, so sit tight.

Kind Regards
