we had the same thing as this as an assignment from university lol (mine came out so bad haha) - might give this a go when i get back from the gym

I've finally gotten to do some speed-modeling again.
Here's my entry:

I stole the idea from my college teacher. I'm guessing he stole it from somewhere else then.

haha yea maybe, although we had to also texture our model.. and we were given 2 weeks to do it (too long to do sumthign so simple imo)

Bowler Hat Propeller

Workflow
I first began to model the top section of the bowler hat, by creating a capsule, cutting it in half and stretching it slightly. I then selected the edges along the bottom and shift and extruded it out to create the rim. I detached the rim added an FFD modifier to create the up turned shape of the rim. I then attached the two pieces and added a shell modifier to give the hat some thickness.

I then created a cylinder on top of the hat, did a load of poly modelling to create the spike, and fixed the propeller around it.




That's it really, very simple, done relatively quickly. Just thought it would be fun to do a bowler hat with a propeller on top of it, :P . Although I think I could've done something a little more complex with the 90 minute time frame. I might give this another shot.

for some reason its not letting me extract the file, when i try to extract it it says there are no files in the folder, am i missing something?

Remote Controlled Propeller Claw.



The main body was just a cylinder that I beveled, inseted and extruded to get the proper shape. Some scaling was done in the middle section. The hydraulics were done in a similar way. And the claws themselves were done starting with a spline which was then extruded and shaped with soft selection. That's about it.
