The SMC's - 59 - Please Wash Your Hands

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

The Challenge Rules

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.

9). The Winner must email jo@3dtotal.com to claim their prize.

10). Only 1st place can claim a prize.

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

[Makonde]

here's a quick entry, good luck to everyone this week!

[Hamburger86]

here's my entry, I didn't spend much time on it so it is a bit sloppy :

[justus_jonas]

CG, that´s a wonderfully weird topic. It´s gonna be fun.
Cheers

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Well I thought so They are harder to model than you think, so it's a proper challenge!

CG.

[Zlatovous]

Just finished modeling my toliet, hope it won't collide with rules :-) Just texturing it, will place it here before midnight

[Rachel vd M]

hey, funny subject, i guess this contest will contain some toilet jokes

anyways, here a quicky, just got a little bit of time, so i made this one.
i hope you all like it!

(actually my intention was just to make a hole in the ground, using a plane and some deformations, though it got bigger )

also, my next entry will be something basic, a tree! (if thats allowed that is?)

[Zlatovous]

Rachel seems like we had the same idea :-) Like your entry, it's really simple and effective. Dig that toilet paper :-)

Anyway, here is my entry. I fall asleep when I was rendering last night, so that's why I put it in here by now :-)

[Rachel vd M]

haha, Zlatovous, great minds think alike eh

i like your version too, with all the boards being seperate, and the funny note, i can see you spend more time on it than i did
i just used a few extruded splines and boxes to make mine. (and the hair/fur plugin for the grass effect)

btw,
did you also make seperate textures and unwraps?

[Zlatovous]

:-D

I was also thinking of using Hair and fur, but the grass just growed through toilet floor and as I never used HaF before, don't know how to fix (but at least I know what to learn next, among ten thousand other things)

Nono, I just used texture of wood from cgtextures and mapped with UVW Map modifier (Box). I find the result satisfying - well, it doesn't look the best from closer look (especialy on borders), but for this purpose I guess it's ok

[vladoportos]

Well here is mine revision of old joke.... even though it is kind of sad true

Modeling: 90 min nice and easy...
Soft: Modo, PS

Sorry no textures, no time and will to do it today

at the HaF modifier you can go into poly select mode (like when editing poly's) and only the selected polys will have "hair" on them

Zlatovous what a nice model and great render, love it...
