small projects for speed modeling...

**gidgit** · 25 February 2006, 06:13 PM

I have been doing up some smaller speed modeling challenges recently, finding that they are just perfect for my doodling and ever decreasing attention span

Maybe some others might wish to do up some of these items... as well add some other simple objects...

Whatever you can model within 3 hours or less... then heck, complete em and save up for a cool scene... Post as many wires as possible in order to demonstrate as much as possible how the model was approached...

So far in the past couple of days, we did a :

Toy Chest
Mug
Sword
Shield
Lantern

Mug... ok this is a really simple mug, but hey, it could give someone an idea eh

Here we were just setting some loops in place so as to match up with the back of the handles for some inside dimples... not really required, but just a thought...

Just a very simple sword, as seen by the wires

**gidgit** · 25 February 2006, 06:22 PM

and if ya have a sword, it would be a capital idea to also have a shield...

**gidgit** · 25 February 2006, 06:25 PM

and ... here is a simple lantern...

more to come, stay tuned... and yea, Gman, we still love to doodle

Well, here is the model c/w handle

sorry bout that... we got ahead of our selves sort of... as per usual

A dry spell for so long and when it rains, it pours... Wow, gidgit, looks like you're really on a roll with these... Gotta post a memo on my monitor to never pull your leg again about not posting anything....

.
But yep, I do small stuff now and then, too, just to keep the hotkeys memorized... Gotta dig the WIP folder later to see what I've been accumulating...

**gidgit** · 26 February 2006, 03:21 AM

haha, you are too funny

Yea, dig away... all the better eh

Too much fun

here's a test render... have to build a set for this, but yea, a render non the less... Carrara as per usual

I really like the lantern gidgit and all the other cool props as well.

Small projects under 3 hours...
I've been doing these. The mousetrap originally started out when I was exploring other Wings primitives. The cube, sphere and cylinder are the three main ones I use, but the spring primitive was handy for, well, springs...

. So a mousetrap it became.
The oilcans were results of trying to master the screw function in Blender. Did some edge, "screwed"

them and I ended up with something resembling a screw on cap. Had to use it for something. Lots of odds and ends in my Wip folder. But I never seem to get around to making an entire scene out of those..they just fill up the HD until the next disk failure...
