Blender Cookie: Winter Contest - Design and Model a New Sleigh

Contests Member Contests
1

We’ve all seen traditional Santa sleighs around the holidays…though you may have found yourself questioning its design. How does it actually store all of the presents? What sort of heating systems does it contain? How does it maintain lift/thrust? And how refined are those aerodynamics in reality? All questions I am sure we,as 3D artists ponder. If you haven’t then hopefully you are pondering now!

This year you are charged with designing next years Santa’s Sleigh. This is a big responsibility, with quite a few things to take into account. The sleigh could be a uber sleek sci-fi model, a classic looking sleigh, or perhaps a rusty steam punk design.

So you mean on January 3rd 6 am. Maybe you could also give a reply on Blender Cookie. There are more questions about the date and time from different people. So about 8-9 hours to go.
Already thanks for the reply.

Sure thing, apologize for any confusion. I’ve just also extended it to 8am, Chicago U.S. Time to help if there was any confusion. So approximately 16hours left from when I am posting this. :wink: Hope this helps!
