Challenge # 1

Post by **Tibs** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 8:35 am

Ok well after seeing that much interest in a 3d challenge i decided to place the first one.

Try and model beach toys, you'll see what i mean on the pics (these will be posted in every challenge to help you get some ideas )

Rules :

The only rule is actually that i need to have a picture showinf the models textured and 1 wireframe render.

Have fun !!!!!!!!!

PS.: if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

I have a question. What are nurbs/nurms?

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 6:07 am

Nurbs divide a poly or object to make it seem more smooth and not rigid like on the corners and stuff... not sure how else to explain it.

Ok that would explain why 3dsmax freezes. Thx.

Heres what I got sofar..

woo double postage /good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(Y)' />

ok, ive was thinking about the scene, and i decided to ditch the bucket + ball (they may make an appearance though.) so ive nowdone some work on this scene..and came out with this sofar. yes, im aware that there is a lot of work that still needs to be done, just thought i would post an update /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

You're using boolean for the bat? Try modelling it our of 1 piece by extruding your poly's and adjusting the points. Would be better then using boolean operations.

Anyway good job /good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(Y)' /> from all of you

2 weeks notice!!

As off this week I will close the thread in 2 weeks time, this means the final image should be posted with the remark "Final Entry" in the week of the first november. It needs to include a wireframse aswell, you can add this into your post aswell. If you don't do this I will not include your entry in the ones I choose from.

The winner from the challenge will get 1 point. This means there will be a ranking kept for those of you who win a challenge. At a certain time the highest ranked member might win something /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Good Luck /good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(Y)' />

1 weeks notice!!

Come on people there's only 1 week left and this thread is lacking entry's! The final images will have to be posted the 2nd November.

Come ON !!!!!!!

Post by **Tibs** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 5:53 am

Well since the challenge has ended and no-one really posted a final version it's not really possible for me to look at your works. So if you post your work in here I can comment on it but I won't declare a winner. I had hoped there would be more entries, but you might be too busy too finish your entry's.

I had to stab Bryce, it failed to co-operate and C4D was in on the conspiracy with Bryce so it had to be stabbed too /disgust.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(hmph)' />
