Challenge #53 Voting CLOSED

This week’s theme: Custom-Modified PC’s

Pure Entries

Robertt [list:3761d556b7]
Here’s my entry, the “Blendimension PC.” Swapped out the CD and floppy drives to install toaster bays, and the DVD drive up

top is now a cup holder/cup heating pad. The case also accommodates a 12 cup coffee maker that can be adjusted or paused

directly through special software on the PC which also can control toasting level. Powered by a next generation Blender OS

this custom PC can make more than just coffee or toast…

Its my solution to haveing to waste valuable blender time by getting up away from the computer to eat. Now you don’t have to

stop blending, with the monitor built in to the microwave screen.

This is a Blender only 3D graphics workstation, running Blender God Release 9.5. Following the release of Blender as an open

source program, the elYsiun community released the God version of Blender on the 22nd October 2741.
Instructions:-
You sit in the chair in the middle of the room, place the temporal helmet on your head and Blend using mind control.
The main memory banks are triple 512 terabytes liquid cooled SDDFQRAM units housed beneath the displays with, four 50GHZ

BlenderInside cpu’s working as a quad unit. Liquid graphics are produced by three Dreamrenderer poly modelers that can

process more than a googleplex of triangles per second in an opengl enviroment. These output three 3125x1024 images to the

triple 50" plasma screens, to display your current project.

Render times are measured in miliseconds, example time for 5000 frame, HDTV animation @ 3125x1024, is 30 seconds.

When blender crashes or you do somehing terribly wrong that you can’t undo, you can let off some steam with Punching Bag PC.

sorry i have it as links on that page as well. but if you click on them in order, you get an idea of how it works… to see

its features…

Desoto-111
Overclocking Crazy. The motherboard for this beast is stashed away in the freezer, and even then, thats hardly enough to keep

it cool. The new ATI 9500000 Octo-Vision video card featuring DirectX 900.1 runs 8 15" traditional CRT’s because after the

video card, thats all they could afford.

Best feature: Need a coke while blendering late at night? Just reach into the fridge. Combine this with the toilet computer

and you’re rocking all night long without EVER leaving the room.

For your pleasure (hopefully), my entry for this week’s WC. It’s kinda Mac-ish, but that wasn’t my intent, and it’s a little

too late to change it now. This entry would probably be open, seeing as I used the blender logo and an icon in Windows for a

USB-device. Other than that, everything I did by my lonesom. I bet you’re dying with suspense, so I will keep you no more:

Nice job everyone.

My vote went to banana I really like the way it turned out. I know it was yafray but I really like it. Tmtechie very nicely done.

Good luck everyone.

(man i have got to learn yafray!!)

nice start tmtechie!
i really like the way you did the glass/plastic. For blender that looks really cool.

I haven’t voted for anyone yet, i want a few more votes to be cast.
Im probably going with either desoto, sonix or tmtechie. They each have their good points, but i really like desoto’s lighting, sonix’s modelling, and tmtechie’s texturing/lighting. So it’s a hard choice.

I may just give up and vote for someone else too.
We had a nice amount of entries, well done everyone.

mine went with you Idgas, so many times i wanted to cook and work at the same time.
maybe put a coffee machine or a fridge into the tower? heaven.

Hard choices this week. I ended up casting my vote for bannana though, as thats such a clean render, and great looking too. Kudos for the over-used biohazard sticker.

Although when you think about it, that mainboard is either upside-down, or its reversed.

robertt, you made my day. it’s been horrible so far, and I’m very very tired.

thanks.

.b

yes people great work this weekend! hard to choose. idgas all you need now is a laser scan inside :wink: although you can now trace 3d objects on the turn table atleast - hows that for a “reference background” :wink:

best of luck all!

:smiley: Awsome idea :smiley: Why didn’t I think of that. :x

I’m probably too ambitious, but as soon as I put up the placeholder, I was coming up with ideas for a Weekend Challenge if I won. Being absolutely weird, I came up with lots more than just these ideas:

Blood & Guts: Gory WC (Monty Python-style gore is okay)
Black-And-White: Uncolored WC (color is absolutely forbidden)
School’s Out For Summer, School’s Out Forever: Summertime WC
ABBA Generations: Pop Music WC
Reservoir Fiction: Quentin Tarintino WC
Fairy Tails And The Old Men: Bedtime Stories Gone Horribly Wrong WC
Blender: Kitchen WC (For added originality, don’t include a Blender)
Nobody’s Real: Philosophical WC
When Worlds Collide: Spacey WC
K-PAX Channel 17 Presents The Usual 7 Beautifully American Suspects: Kevin Spacey WC (nudge nudge)

BTW: Theeth, if you want more than “N/A,” here’s a little speech:

“Hello, everyone. I’m an idiot. Oh, and look at my picture. It’s quite stupid.”

Another WC with so many great works… T’was a hard choice, but I finally went along my keen little eye.

Maybe I’ll participate on the next one.

BTW: Before anyone asks how I got a vote, I’d like to thank me for voting for me.

I can’t believe I’m being beaten by someone who’s link doesn’t work. 5 votes! And none for me!

my vote goes to Idgas. I really like like your idea!!!

ok… well its only tuesday, that means i have a couple days to get atleast one vote. and im not voting for myself. thats unethical. and if anyone votes for me out of pity… good… eh… i mean… don’t cuz i only want one if i deserve it… yes… thats what i meant… now to go smash my .blend file of my custom computer…jkjk… everyone’s work is awesome. i love competition…

i ended up voting for desoto because i really liked the feel of the pic. I also couldn’t really be bothered trying to pick a winner, and as desoto hadn’t gotten any votes before (which i thought was unfair) i didn’t think voting for him would have any real impact on the winner.
I could have voted myself to tied second, but, meh.

I still think mine wins on originality & concept.

Winner: sonixsculpt with 30% of the votes!

congrats!

Martin

congrats sonix. i hope the next wc is a good topic. its up to you…

Thanks to everyone who voted.:smiley:

This weekend’s challenge theme will be ‘Abstract’.

Good luck to all,

Sonix.

ehh, abstract.
I think you might lose me on this one, im not that good on the artsy side of things.
