A 3D modeling Challenge

[Mike Bailey]

Larry, its good to see you joining the challenge, start with something simple and you will do fine. Hint: Some of those tutorial objects can be modeled with simple 3D primitives (cubes, sphere's, cones etc...) Kinda like your shapes challenge. Take your time and have fun.

I will create something later today if can kick myself away from TV.

if can kick myself away from TV

Thats what laptops are for. Looking forward to see what you model.

I chose the same one but this is little different and not an exact copy. (Would be hard to beat the one already posted.)

Not completely finished and needs adjusting here and there.

Box modelling stages.

Will post rendered one later, if I feel it looks good enough and may even tweak it to look more like the original one.

[Mike Bailey]

Looks pretty good so far.

This is a great initiation, I think the most beneficial would be for everyone as theinonen posted, so showing some stages of his working process and by that hints for others, who would like to complete the same.

I selected the Rubik's cube tutorial from http://www.xaraxone.com/tutorials/mar10/, also registered the steps in Blender if someone is interested

I love Windows 10 so much.

Was working on rendering the stuff, when this awesome operating system restarted itself without a warning. Back to starting grid then and when I finally managed to set up everything again and was ready to press the render button... program error, software will be closed.

Simple things really should not be this hard.

Gary Priester did a tutorial on how to draw French fries in a commercial fast food sleeve. I think it's the best illustration I've seen in commercial art to promote/show off a product, so naturally the only way to interpret his work in the September 2011 tutorial using non 2D tools is to get a little playful with the fries.

This is a WIP: I need to add ketcup, as Gary P. did. But I did manage to feature all the salt they put on the fries at America's Favorite Scottish Restaurant, and I'll try to simulate grease after adding the condiment:



My Best,

The models you all have done look great. Its OK to do as many as you want.
Gary's fries are making me hungry, I'll have a quarter pounder to go.
I did a steps for those of you who want to see such a thing.
