Blender Week Day Challenge #1 (Entries Closed)

The object of this challenge is to modivate and improve the particpants modeling skill and efficiency. The contestants are to model four objects in four week days. The four models are too be picked from the list below. The list below has nine objects in all, three for each general category (which are hard surface, organic, and mechanical). The reason there are only three of each category is to force the participants to model atleast one object of a different category to potentially improve skill in other categories. If you have any suggestions for next weeks challenge, please let me know.

Participants should have atleast four objects.

Questions:

So we can choose one object to model that’s not on the list?:confused:
Do we texture them, etc. Or just render the model?

yep it looks like crap, it’s supposed to be a smiling fish baring his nasty teeth.:evilgrin: but it looks more like a Jay Leno fish… :no:

Yes, you have to choose an object on the list, there will be a new list every week. Texturing is optional, but it should not effect the voter’s choice.

Nope, you can post suggestions for next week’s list though

Do we texture them, etc. Or just render the model?
The focus is on modelling, so textures are optional. However voting for the winner of the challenge should be for the best model’s not the best textures and lighting etc.

Your final pics should try to show off your models as much as possible so you could do multiple renders of them if you don’t think one picture will show all the detail.

[EDIT] LOL Haker beat me to it :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, ok, thanks.
Also, do you post the model each day?

any suggestions category wise etc are welcome

Well I pick: Table, Snowglobe, Toaster, Clock

You don’t have to reserve btw, you just have to post your models by Saturday. Also post all four of your models in a single post.

So…

We have to pick four objects from the three categories, but, we have to pick at least one from each category?

Do we have to model one object per day, or can we finish all four on friday?

It’s a good idea to post a new model each day but there’s nothing to stop you waiting until and hour before the deadline and then speed modeling all four!

Nice idea, I’m in:D

EDIT: Or not, unfortunately I definitely won’t have time to finish this:(

I’ve been meaning to get back into blender challenges but weekends don’t work for me so weekend challenges are out.
This is just my chance.
I only have time for one.

Nope, you have to do four models though so that means at least two categories.

For example, if you wanted you could do all three in the Organic category, one from the Mechanical category and none from the Hard Surface category

Toaster:


Table:


Clock


Stove:


You can post your images as they come out of blender, but keep it contained in one post. Just update your post.

Ok I have started.

I felt the city in the snowglobe wasn’t given enough justice in such a small render through glass, so I made an upclose (or closer anyways) render of the metropolis without glass.
