Speed Model Challenge #49 - Writing Instrument (anything that can produce writing on something - pencil, printer, chisel, chalk, typewriter, etc, etc, etc...)

DEADLINE : September 26th, 2009 (midnight - I mean 23:59:59.99)
VOTING: September 27th - October 1st

RULES:
1) Use any 3D software you choose (let's see the difference).
2) Create the model(s) within a 2 hour time limit.
3) You may enter as many times as you wish.
4) Your entry will also include a wireframe screen grab before SDS (subdivision) has been applied. This is included to help others learn modeling techniques.
5) Include time spent, software/version and render engine used with your submission.
6) Post one render per entry at 800 x 600 pixels
7) Render, Lighting, and Texturing are not included within the 2 hour time limit.

Here we go again!

And we start with the 20 minute, horribly cheap ball point pen.
All trueSpace 6.6...
"Texturing", "lighting", adjusting the perspective to be "perfect", failing to use a material rectangle and rendering took another 30 minutes.
Edit - Also, I forgot about the wireframe... here it is.

NigeC's cheapo pen

Truespace 6.6
Dribble

Sorry no wire frame TS crashed and burned just as the render ended.. of cause I saved regular like....NOT!
The whole thing took about an hour,even the render

I don't know if this is valid as a writing instrument, if it's not I just delete the post.

You can expect a lot of enters of me in this SMC

Program Blender:
Model time: 25 minutes for the Brush metal and wood, another 10 minutes for the jar, Hair for the bristes on the brush 5 minutes, and Fluid sim for the paint 20 minutes.
Texture and Lighting: Only took 5 minutes to setup, but then I played around with Caustic, ambient occlusion and Ray depth in Yafaray for a while. Was fun to see the different results.
Render: one render in Blender basic, and one for YAfaray

Wire Frame 1: 4 levels of Subdivision on the liquid.

Wire Frame 2:

Render in Blender:.

YAfaray render in next post

Here is what YAfaray did with the same scene with AO and Caustics.

After a conceptual Writing Instrument now I made a realistic one...
Power Ball Pen
Model Time: 1h 15 min (Timed)
Texturing and Lighting: 4 h (I'm perfectionist)
Truespace 7.6 using Lightworks with Raycast
Rendered in 1h 15min (coincidence

)
I used 3 SDS in the model and transparent shadows, I think this is the cause of a slow render

TS 7.6 Model Side
Modeling Time: 1 hour 52 minutes*
Texture and Lighting: About 90 minutes
Render Time with Lightworks: 32 minutes (3X anti-aliasing)

* Judgement of Accu needed: I experimented with methods to make the spiral tube, but made no pen parts, for at least 30 minutes. Then I started from scratch with what I had learned to make the pen. So if the experimentation time counts then this entry is over the time limit.

Titanium and platinum materials.

WIP: vi ... ?f=5&t=693"

The wireframe shows an expanded view of the spiral tube too.

Edit: added link to wip.

Just for a bit of fun I thought I'd do something quick
ts 6.6

This is my third and last entry to this SMC. I would say thanks for all comments and help that everybody provided to me! This is my first SMC so I was very excited with this challenge, it was a fun make those models! Sorry if I flooded with much images...

This is a Fountain Pen that I designed based in several fountain pens, the glass recipient there it's for the ink and the golden metal it's a candle support! I tried to make a lightning to looks like a candle fire, I think that worked

... The paper I catch from 3D Filter (Many Thanks (RAYMAN) and modified with the text (Non-sense) in the photoshop, used a little of DOF and a wood texture for the table... I will not lie but was very easy to create it '-' the most difficulty part was the texturing and lightning!

Model time: 1h 10 min - 1h 40min (Poorly Timed, but I'm sure that don't pass two hours)
Texturing and Lightning: 4h
Truespace 7.6 using Lightworks with Raycast
Rendered in 20 min
