sonix,
this looks really nice 
would you mind giving me the blend file when youâre finished ?
iâd like to try rendering this scene in indigoâŚ
greetz,
radiance
You are one fast modeller. Whatâs your workflow like, and what do you do to cut corners?
Radiance, thanks mate. Hopefully should be able to do that for you, ask me again when the contest has finished. (Mid November).
Catboy85, most of the equipment is modeled from a cube. Everything has to be modeled to scale, so I set a cube up to match the measurments of the piece of equipment.
Then use the Knife tool to cut loops where I want them. Corners are just 2 or 3 close cut loops. Any further detail is extruded, once I cut new loops to help keep the clean sharp edges.
I think it takes me 10-20mins per object, however the desk took me about 4 hrs to get it right.
Sonix.
Beautiful modelling work sonix. But that is normal for you.
Keep up the good work. Iâll be watching this one now.

Ooohh⌠Buttons! I love buttons!
A technical studio with lots of âŚstuff! Me like!
Letâs see where this is ending up.
whoa ! this is awesome
the lighting is looking close to perfect. Modeling is insanely detailed and good.
getting there âŚ
cheers
Wow Sonix, great modelling skills here. Canât wait to see how you will manage all that mess stuff
I think that the main deal will be the light, but Iâm sure you will get it.
Will follow your WIP
Will you be doing any tuts for your objects i think they are just brilliant.
will you go to cgtalk with the final render? would love to rate it there! >.>
Thank you all very much.
Ian30, if I have time today Iâll write something.
Felix, yes when itâs finished.

Looking great, man. Good luck in the challenge.
Indeed. Looking really nice now.
BgDM
Thats insanly detailed.
Keep up the good work.
But one question: What is you polycount of the scene and how long do you need to render with maxwell or blender internal it?
great stuff again,
now, you get to work with SGIs :eek: which is way cool
keep em comin
cheers
Cheers. Blender internal 13mins with 16 samples AO @ 10, or 12mins with 5 samples & AO @ 10.
Poly count now at 1.6million, which will increase.
More later.
Sonix.
