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 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
- Textures are not allowed in the Speed Modeling Competition
- Multiple entries are allowed.

This is my rig from work I can't say I'm very happy with it (not with the rig, with the model... the rig works just fine )... there are a lot of places where I could have done better... but overall I'd say it looks good. I didn't manage to model all the details, I was more interesting in getting done some of the important parts

Used primitives to model this... you can see all that in the video

i like the subject but that really is a pain in the ass, my comp is really hard to model -.-, damn futuristic designs T.T

[andrei313]

Hehe... well you don't have too model everything... even the mouse can be enough if you have a really cool one

If someone can speed my model my whole rig, including the Nikon, Additional Lens, Logitech Joystick, Ogo, Creative Zen, Mot. Razr, Wacom & Battlefield 2 Mug; all under 60 mins, I'll be impressed

Damn, i'd join this, but I don't want to model the keyboard of my laptop :s

Hey andrei here's a little tip for you.
i see you like to use the grey material / black wireframe in your models.

i have some scripts i made to automate that stuff.

here is the script: http://www.pedroamorim.com/stuff/files/Bitmap_Scripts.mcr

just copy this file to UI\Macroscripts in the max folder.

then go to Customize\Customize User Interface

when this opens just go to the Toolbars tab and then on the Category dropdown menu select Bitmap's Scripts then 5 scripts will appear. drag the grey/black script to a toolbar and your set.

whenever you want to use that. just select a model or group of models and press that button.

you can create a hotkey for it also.


the other scripts are for:
Hiding Unhiding the trackbar
center the model/s to the origin [0,0,0]
Grey/black Material
Open Notepad
Open Calculator

Thats all.

Lets see if in the next video you will use them

Xoliul as you can see I chose not to model a keyboard as well The one I have at home can be done... in a decent amount of time but the one I have at work.... will have to be done on a keyboard-only competition Don't get lost in all the keys

Thanks a lot bitmap. Yeah.. I like to work like that all the time... don't know why but I just hate colored wireframes I try not to depend on scripts and plug-ins (you never know on what computer you have to work on and it might not have the little stuff you're used to... same goes for shortcuts... although I use some ) ... anyway... I'll give this a try and see what it does. Thanks for sharing.

cant we extend that cool competition to 90 minutes?
my rig is so complex i wont finish that in 60 minutes

so i made my not good looking 2nd rig im realy pleased with the detail level
but the time didnt reached for the mx500 (to complex to do it in 1 minute that was left )


how i made it: the grill is a lattice modifier
the rest is extruded out of boxes

cause i want to improve my presentations i have made 3 renders, i think the 3rd is the best but please tell me what you think

[andrei313]

Ok. Yeah... maybe I was in a hurry when I modeled this ... seeing that you're the only one that posted an entry I think I can get it to 90min... maybe more people manage to make something
Time limit was changed from 60min to 90min Have fun!
