Speed Challenge 25 - Satellites

Postby RawMeat3000 on Sun Aug 30, 2009 9:22 am

So here we are again. Late. But the show must go on.

In here we'll be making satellites; any kind of satellite, artificial or natural. Anything you can create based on your interpretation of the word satellite is welcome in this competition. You are also free to texture, use crazy render settings like global illumination, and generally just be badass.

Now post renders/wireframes in this hurr thread, along with triangle counts, time spent making, and whatever else you'd like to add.

This challenge will probably end sometime Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. There's just no way of telling.

I want to see someone model a natural satellite :( Any object orbiting a celestial body is a satellite, I believe...

I've been toying with the idea of making a moon, but I'm still trying to decide how its possible in 2 hours from scratch. I'll definitely make something though. Not much time left.

I needed an extension, so I gave one to myself! But it paid off.
