The New Weekly Photo Modelling Challenge #14

ClassicGamer-3DT · 29-03-2013, 10:34 AM

How Does This Work Then?

Each week or two myself or 3D Total's photo resource will provide a set of photo's to model from.

Each challenge we would like all who participate to model from the same references to learn, improve or showcase your ability in modelling from a photo set.

In my version of this challenge there are no limits to how many tris/quads you wish to use, but I would like to see you all try to match the photo as closely as possible in size & shape aswell as texturing too.

The Rules

Please post your wires, clays, & any texture sheets and final renders in this thread, wip and on topic chat is also fine here too, these challenges are supposed to be fun and we are not too strict on the rules.

The Prizes

The only prizes are a gold, silver and bronze awards dictated by these lovely little icons

Deadline: Friday 5th April 2013 10:00pm.

Deadline Timer

This Weeks Challenge: Apsco Vacuhold Pencil Sharpener

The good old pencil sharpener, this challenge has some interesting shapes and some nice resolution reference pics. I hope to see many attempt this one this week

Reference Pictures

Ref Pics Archive - 21.87MB
Had to compress the ref images a fair bit as before it was an 80MB file

This is a fun challenge, and this is what i got sofar. it has been easier than I first tought. But im struggeling with that brown part in the front. but im sure I will find a way to get it to work.
Have also been doing some R&D on the materials but got nothing to show on that yet.
