U3DA CHALLENGE - March 2016 In a Box_Comments

Post by Dragneye »

Here... we chat.

I'll start by saying that the reason I picked 'a box' is to help the artist. If you keep it in a box, then one need only create part of a model, the part we can see. Hopefully that will entice more to join the fun.

I remember starting with MS PAint. I dreaded creating a pic more than 500 pixels wide since to coax any detail I was coloring pixel by pixel. Times have changed.

I don't know if this is ok, but I'm reusing some items I created a few years ago. Had to start over as I lost my file I was working
on a few days ago. Oh well.

Trying to render in YafARay.

I decided to make a slightly different model, so a progress update.
All done in TS workspace side. Rendered in yafaRay.

Worked on making body of airplane more realistic in 3d by changing shape from a flat form to a more rounded and modeled shape.

No problem; if ya finished it new it's fine by me.
I loved making these types of models when I was a kid. I remember doing WW2 planes and ships mostly and grunts in dioramas.
Tanks for the memories FH!

Thanks, I learned some new things that applying textures in workspace side works pretty good. I think I need to increase height of rudder as
it looks too low. May also add the horiz. stabilizer part.

May experiment with some more aircraft models if I can find some high resolution images of the sides and top views by modeling directly
over the images 8-)

So FH is gonna win by default?

...

Anything in, or coming out of a box.
I can't participate but my idea was originally something like 'the Blob' from old Horror Movie.
Like I said... anything
:)

How about the new voices here giving it a try also?


PS: Please post any finals in the original thread TY

Alrighty then...
Hope it wasn't something I said...

How to call this one? No one has posted any entries. The only work i see for the contest is FHembree.
There's no point in creating a vote is there? If i missed something please tell me.
I'll be back in an hour or two to finalize this.
(I'm not on the net by default so sorry for any delays)

I think people are just busy and have Spring fever to do other things. I'm busy with the chaos of my work season starting and real world things. I spend too much time on a CG project if I start one when I have real world things to do. Not enough self discipline. I'll bet FHembree just hasn't paid attention to the due date.

Hey Draise. Sorry; I didn't see your post in time.
I closed the contest. No sweat, we all can concentrate on next month's. Hopefully old and newcomers will be ready to tackle the next one.

But hey... as Grand Visier (lol) I can reopen it if you want. At least they'll be something to vote on.
Give me a reply as I'm disconnecting soon.

(aww... it was cool Fin. You didn't have to delete)

Yuuup, FHembree (can I just call ya FH once in a while?) had a strong entry.
You had a great idea and from the looks of it the presentation would have looked darn good too. You get the prize. The prize being participation and acknowledgement once in a while. A sharing.
Anyway, Congrats guy aaaannnnd......
Take it away FHembree!
