This week's challenge:
Next generation space shuttle
The space shuttle, or Space Transportation System, was designed in the seventies and had it's maiden flight in 1981. It was the first spacecraft designed for partial reusability instead of the rockets which could only be used once. With an expected lifetime of 10 years or 100 flights, it's really getting time for a next generation version. This week the challenge is to design that next generation space shuttle. Your shuttle for this challenge has to be as versatile as the original. The most important feature is that the mayor part of the spacecraft has to be reusable. Further it must be suitable for transporting astronauts and payload, such as satellites and parts for the ISS. Jump in and show us your next generation space shuttle.
Good luck ALL!

General notes:
ReplyDeleteRemember to post a link to your model in the 3D Warehouse on the blog, so everybody knows you submitted it. A submission will not be considered valid if there is no link to your model posted on the blog. Please use hyperlinks instead of only submitting the url. You can use the hyperlink code creater on the frontpage of the blog to create the code for a hyperlink in your message. Copy this code and paste it in the comment box on the place where your want the hyperlink to be. More information about participating with the challenges and uploading models to the Warehouse can be found in the "3D Challenge participation manual" in the useful links section on the frontpage of the blog.
Challenge suggestions are welcome to be placed on the blog. Items will be noted and compiled on the moderator’s list. At that point, the initial comment for the suggestion may be deleted so as to maintain a streamline challenge thread for use of posting entries for the challenge and comments to models.

I'm sorry guys, but fun is fun...
ReplyDeleteI will not participate anymore in this competition. Competing against someone else is fun, especially if they have nice entries! (Like DALEXD or Crazyeyes)
But todays voting sucks! What does this have to do with guidelines etc? I can post a disformed square to! If anyone has some serious questions about sketchup, still feel free to ask! DesignsbyALX
I agree with Designbyalx. Voting seems "strange"...
ReplyDelete@DesignsbyALX & COSEDIMARCO©: The mod-team also noticed the strange voting behavier lately. We are currently discussing what we're going to do about it. We will let you know what we have decided as soon as possible. Suggestions or remarks will, of course, be taken in consideration.

ReplyDeleteThe mods team has had concerns regarding the current voting method and we are at present time discussing viable alternatives to it. Please do not give up on us just yet. We value your contributions to our blooming community and your input in this matter (or any other) will not go unheeded. We hope to reach a solution to this issue that will be satisfactory to you all.
ReplyDeletehi everybody!!
ReplyDeletehere is my entry coming
nextgen space shuttle
hope ya like it
here is my entry Dart Rocket
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm entering my first entry for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI haven't put any textures on it yet, although I do intend to. Dalexd I noticed that you told me that it would be a lot nicer with texture...but I have no idea where to start with this kind of model. There are too many surfaces and I want it to be easy too look at, not a jumble of colors and textures, I want it to be realistic too.
Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated from anyone and everyone!
So here it is,
The Human Sovereing
Oh, and I forgot to ask this question in my other post:
ReplyDeleteIs it normal that when you have many textures, when you zoom in on your model that the screen becomes gray?
I'm pretty sure that it is, but maybe there's a way to counter it that I haven't heard of.
Thanks!
Hi! Here's my second entry for this challenge,
ReplyDeleteThe Marsian Shutltle
I haven't textured this one yet either, but I think it will be easier to texture then the Sovereing.
Chow!
Computers up and running again now. Here is my entry...
ReplyDeleteX-34 Spaceshuttle
here is my model:
ReplyDeleteNASA's Antimatter spaceship 2.0
I hope the voting system will change. Now it's just not fair for the people who diserve to win. Please change the voting poll system.
Okay,
ReplyDeletedon't mind the anoying people,
i wouldn't give up the rest of you guys! So i DO compete in this challenge!
X43 Scram Jet, with ISS Carco
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=70582e2315ce9b836956c64d0bcfb3d6
This is the ship that won the last X-Prize. Two flights into space in 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteEven though it's not my design, it's the first thing I thought of for a "new shuttle"
There is also a plane called "Dark Knight" which carries this craft to the edge of space, then this guy shoots up into space. I think this could very well be the next re-usable shuttle.

@ Mr. Jumpman
ReplyDeleteYou need to add the tag
3d challenge 027 (no CAPS) to your model so it can be seen using the link located on the blog page under the description of the challenge (right above the red text). You can add this with the edit function right from the warehouse.

ReplyDeleteyou need to use the link creator on the blog page first
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteCrazy Eyes helped a lot with my Marsian Space shuttle (he helped texture it and gave me some cool lessons about sketchup) and I tried uploading it on top of the old one but it didn't work. So I'm just going to upload the new version, and take the old one offline.
So here's the new and improved...

Thought I'd make another.

Here's my first try for the 3d challenge.
ReplyDeleteSpace Explorer
Space Access System
ReplyDeleteI've actually been thinking about a better space shuttle for a long time. The idea is that each of the parts is relatively simple and can have a backup on hand.
Thanks,
