Speed Challenge 21 - Windmills

Postby RawMeat3000 on Fri Jul 24, 2009 10:04 pm

Since the 'daily' modeling challenges didn't quite work out (and actually I think I'll just stop them all together), things will go back to normal, with a speed challenge once a week.

And this week the goal is to model windmills. If you want you can add the Man of La Mancha on his trusty steed, charging forth to defeat them.

Time limit, as usual is 2 hours. Post WIP and final screenshots, as well as the time you spent creating them and the amount of triangles contained therein, in this thread. Your finals should include one render and one wireframe.

The rules can be found here.

Challenge ends on Sunday night, midnight, Pacific Standard Time. For more time zones see here.

Now go forth and create windmills!

Strange windmill, I like the cloth flaps.

I think I'm going to enter this one if I get Maya in time, I'm switching over to Maya/Modo combination and learning more with those two before I get too deep into 3DS.

If I enter I was just going to do a more standard windmill, might have to step it up a bit though to compete with your original one!

I'm gonna try this, but I may not finish (I'm leaving at 4am tomorrow for vacation D: )

Well I'll be damned, I didn't think I'd actually follow-thru with this :P

I'm not sure if I care anymore, in fact I'm leaning towards allowing it from now on, but it does say in the rules that your image should be greyscale. So I would appreciate it, ixin, if you could make your final image without any color.

It's too late to get TicTac to do the same so I'll let that pass.

It's not too late to enter. I'm actually going to wait an hour or two before putting the poll up in case ixin was going to enter.

I didn't read the rules as I was lazy :P
After all the only thing colored was the sky, I placed my latest WIP in photoshop and Desaturated it.
I will enter, and this is my final: Image

and here with color and multiple ones: Image
