Speed Challenge #6 - Vehicles with wheels

Postby BaRRaKID on Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:38 pm

After a weekend without a challenge, here is smc #6
For this challenge you will have to create a vehicle. You can choose any type of vehicles, but they need to have wheels, that means no airplanes, boats, space ships and stuff like that, just land vehicles!
As usual you have 120minutes (2hours) to create the model, the model cannot be skinned, and don't forget to include:

- A render
- A wireframe
- Tri count
- Time spent creating the model

We recommend that you post your final images using a clay render. Check out this excellent tutorial from game-artist.net to learn how to do it with maya and 3ds max.
The rules can be found by clicking here.

This challenge will end tomorrow at around 8pm GMT, click here to see when that is in your timezone.

Good luck everyone :)

wow, only 24 hours for this one? could have given us a slight notice when you were gonna post barra, as i've only just seen this and i really don't have a lot of time now. It would be nice if you could just post when you are gonna announce what the speed modelling contest will be about, that way more will enter atleast. If you get what i mean.

hmm, found something interresting i might model. Something the military designed... a monowheel lol :P

I lack the time to apply for this one. I am going on a roadtrip in an hour and won't be home until tomorrow morning. I would love to have the deadline pushed forward a bit, a day or two.

It will be fun what comes out of this contest, a bit more difficult than earlier ones. But I might be wrong.. :)

For someone who has taken part in these before, this is just plain ridiculous. These challenges have always been posted on Saturdays, and have always had a time limit of around 24 hours. Please pay attention.

Daaang, this theme is awesome...Too much other stuff to do between now and when it's over, though.

Annnnd I was going to try modeling the Alaskan Land Train, but there's seriously like...2 pictures of it online, and both are small.

Good luck to anyone else who enters =D

stoopdapoop: Nice truck! I've seen those on TV before...they'd be freaky to see on the road anywhere.
