Modelling Challenge #4 - Steampunk

[Ich 666]

idk either, steampunk is not my thing really :(

This :)

Still need to work on tail and then hard edge things for turbo smoothing.

[source-maps]

it's pretty awesome tho

[Epifire]

Well I got one more before I am done with this contest. So here it is the Steam Punk Car. With a fully automated Coal loading panel, and a driver friendly control set for ease of use, this is the perfect vehicle of travel for yourself. Give that horse a rest, and welcome in the new era of Steam Powered vehicles. :P







Took a bit longer then the last one, but this required more detail than the building.

Nice job Epifire! So which one are you going to submit? I realize now that I didn't include "one submission per person" as a rule, but that is the case regardless, same with every previous battle. You could combine the two into one scene, though. That would be great!

[Epifire]

Okay so I took your advice and here it goes for the final submitted screen shots. I tried getting them into the Unreal engine for fancy rendering but the XSI plugin does not appear to work well with my mod tools. So in other words I apologize for the bland gray, and lack of good render lighting, but I think it was worth it anyway.

Now for my rendition, and glimpse into the world of Steam Punk...





It's been a lot of fun taking the time to actually compete with others in a challenge to test my metal, and I truly have enjoyed it. I still wish I could have done more, but I am looking forward to seeing the final results from everyone.

Mannnn you gotta texture that shit. It actually reminds me of an automobilic contraption I have currently shelved and waiting for the stroke of a brush:



And with the hitherto-mentioned "fancy UDK lighting"

[Epifire]

XSI has been a bit of a hassle, since I have been trying to get some of the newly learned techniques adapted to it. I would certainly re-post my stuff if I actually added some good stuff to them.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone else's stuff finished, outside of that. I actually recall the vehicle you made there, cause I think you showed it to me a while back. Nevertheless, still cool though.

[RawMeat3000]

UDK supports FBX files, if you want to try that. Your model will look 100% better. A REALLY quick shitty UV map with solid color texture and some FAST FAST SHITTY specular would take like maybe an hour and make your model look 200% better.

[WhiteDevil]

I just learned to do stuff with turbosmoothing and made some pipe bends, I thought it was harder than it seemed.
I hope I can finish this thing on time though.. gotta pick up the pace. I've barely even started yet!

[Epifire]

Wow nice render shot. Really liking the inner gear decor for the pipe shrouds. Dang I hope that makes some good coffee, when all is said and done. XD

[stoopdapoop]

think I'm gunna tackle this.

[Stormy]

Ok done with this I really have to move onto other stuff I am supposed to be doing.

you wanted a WIP?

you get a WIP.



also, looks good stormy.

Raw, wouldn't it make more sense to give us a month to complete the models? I myself am busy with school during weekdays and usually don't have all weekend long to work on a model. I'm sure I'm not the only person finding two weeks to be a small time frame considering others also have school/work and cant really find as much time to work on their projects. Personally I don't know I can finish up by Monday, but I could sure as hell make something kick ass by late April early May.
