Another week already?
Geez... time flies when u're not having fun... Great entries so far everyone

Honki · 18-12-2008, 03:34 PM

I wanna play too.

tokai · 18-12-2008, 06:35 PM

Nice entries so far (don't forget to include the wireframe screenshot) and nice starters too, of course.

If I get an idea I'll probably join in too.

Actually I'm just posting now to try out my new signature with the extra advertisement for our pity IRC channel, seems 3D people don't hang around on IRC very often.

Hello, nice theme, like everyone's pictures, especialy vladoportos one. Like this type of vehicles :-)

So anyway, here is mine, hope you like it.

Name: Dreamy Sledge (for those who need to drift through the snow of dreams)
Modeling software: 3Ds Max
Modeling time: 65 min
Texturing time: 20 min
Rendering time: 7 min in VRay

ClassicGamer-3DT · 19-12-2008, 07:20 AM

Just to let you guys know, this challenge will go on for 3 weeks instead of 2!

This is because i'd originally had this to end at the end of the year and i'll be too full of alcohol by then to care lol

So you've all got till 7th of January 2009! you've technically got till next year to make an entry lol

Cheers

CG.

vladoportos · 19-12-2008, 07:47 AM

Soft: Modo 302, PS, Maxwell
Modeling: easy 50 min mostly spend on getting bending right

Hope you like it

Neil_F01 · 19-12-2008, 11:00 AM

cool.. great news on the extension... still haven't managed to get my computer room up and running yet after moving...

still its the weekend tomorrow.. oh yeah...

rocneasta · 19-12-2008, 11:09 AM

hope it's all turns out better than you expected

on another note, i found a way how to export my Autocad2008 models into Maxwell, it's not as easy as i wanted it to be, but if i can get it working it would be awesome

Neil_F01 · 19-12-2008, 12:30 PM

yeah heres to hoping... lol..

anyway.. great model you've put up the vlado.. great render. not sure why you have so many polys down the main strip of the sledge thing.. (what it slids on)... but great other than that..

zlatovous - you probably need to change the colors on your wireframes as or make the image bigger as it is really hard to see what is goin on in your model...

Oh yea cause i created long box with many sections so when I use bend modificator on it I can play with it and bend as I would like with enough resolution to do whatever I want... normally I would clean the mesh and get rid of excess edges... but well it is not for animation or low poly so I didn't care too much

prophet74 · 19-12-2008, 01:44 PM

Nice sled Vlad!
One way you could have avoided bending is to create a box with rounded corners, extrude the edge, run the thicken tool, then delete unneeded polys.
Just a "speed" thought.

vladoportos · 19-12-2008, 01:59 PM

yop that's also way to do it... but when I seen the reference I known that it is easy model... so I wasn't in hurry... also I had 90 minutes for it so I was slow on purpose ( also watching CSI episode at the same time xD )

Neil_F01 · 19-12-2008, 04:11 PM

those are some strange methods for doing the curved bit... i mean not knowing modo.. i can't say whether there is a similar feature.. but personnally (and being a max/maya user)... it would have been simpler to just create a box, and a spline and then extrude the end face along the spline.. (adding in bits where needed for smoothing and curved edges.)..

Have added a screen grab of what i did.. it took me five minutes if that to make this..

vladoportos · 19-12-2008, 04:37 PM

In modo its more like this, at least this was the first thing that pop into my mind... of course your method is possible as well

prophet74 · 19-12-2008, 07:42 PM

My last day of Modo demo

I'm a sad boy. Anyone wanna get it for me for Christmas?

Anyway, here's my entry. Smoke added in Photoshop.
