Speed Modeling Competition Rules:

- You have 90 minutes to complete the piece. This is all for your own benefit, so if you're only 80% done when the 90 minutes come up, go ahead and post that.
- You must submit a 800x600 [or 600x800] image that contains a shaded model and a wire model preferably rendered with GI. For a tutorial about GI/clay renders for Max/Maya go here: Multi-Platform Clay Wip Renders

Add the following information on your entry image:

• Your Name
• Entry Name
• Modeling Time
• Triangle Count
  

- You must give us details on how you modeled it

Here I go again



I've spent only 50 minutes on it because I wanted to make it a 60min competition but I realized that some rides may be a little more complex. I hope you will use the extra 30min wisely for this competition I think I could have spent some more time and make some kind of base... it looks a little strange now without one

As usual, you can see how I modeled it here:

Please don't go crazy with your entry. A carousel with horses or a roller coaster are fun but might take a little longer to model, so think about that before you start.
The links in the refs are there to help a little not to show you what to do.
Everything that you can see in a Funfair/Amusement Park goes... from little toys to... big toys.
Just have fun

PS: The rules changed a little so be sure to read them (if you somehow missed the red font )

Very nice competition here Andrei, also very nice carousel!! GJ man

Looks great andrei

Heres mine took longer than i hoped due to 2 failed attempts at making the frame so its 90 min i wanted to add more detail but ran out of time.
I also wanted to make the frame with pipes, again failed and had to rush it result crappy smoothing.

So not a good entry but one none the less.

Thanks guys.
tkaza, it's funny. I like the little wheel you have there. The frames that hold it on the ground look a little rough... Guess it's really annoying when you're in a hurry and you don't have a lot of time Did you use a ref for this? Can we see it?

[tkaza]

Yer its rough i wasn't really in the mood to model, rough day rough model...
No ref was used, which makes the model seem a bit not right.
Thanks any way andrei

The ship, seats and frame were all made from box extrusion, i used a Symmetry mod on the frame to save time.
To make the ship bend i used the bend mod at ~20-30%
The rest are cylinder primitives.

None of the less, both entries are looking nice, allthough with andrei's I get the feeling it'll tip over and kill all the poor children in it when it starts spinning around

[ragupasta]

Good model tkaza, but remember the rules......800x600, and there is no tri information, nor is there an entry name.

Fixed

Where's the fun if you're not risking your like?
