General Notes:
ReplyDeleteThere will no obligation for a blog entry anymore. It is still allowed to post a link to your model or additional images, but it is not required anymore to submit a model to the challenges. The 3D Warehouse tag is still required though and should be added when uploading a model to the Warehouse.

WOW!!!
ReplyDeletethis is probably the greatest idea for a challenge ive ever known.
ill skip this sounds boring to me. I guess ill just be doing sci fi sketchup challanges because I love createing gundams im hooked.
ReplyDelete( i was being sarcastic )
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness... what a WORTHLESS challenge... i have to wait 4 WEEKS to get a (hopefully) decent challenge... next week's better be good...
ReplyDeletei think this is awesome ... a way to see a sketchup-ers true potential .. and i'm not being sarcastic .. you can't get anywhere constantly doing scifi-gundam-battle-tanks.
ReplyDeleteI love it and can't wait to see some detailed dental work!
@ all
ReplyDeleteAnonymous catch the challenge.
Toothbrush could be very easy, I said could be, but you can model something more difficult, look at your favourite store.
The real challenge is the toothpaste. Try not to model a simple cone, but try to create a real squeezed tube with logo's, indications on it. Smooth (and not casual) surfaces are hard to model in SU.
Look at all the details such as the screw cap, round corners, final welding, etc.
I agree with Anonymous and Cosedimarco. This one is a very good challenge.
ReplyDeleteI want to suggest a few challenge ideas
ReplyDeletea Museum
a Dream house
there are a few more but no one would probably like
a Frank Lloyd Wright type structure-
that would cater to some sci-fi lovers out there and the architectural people, like me, out there also

I don't mind the subject of this challenge. I'm already working on it!
ReplyDeletei think this is a really good idea. allows for a broad range of simple and complex models and if i wasn't in the middle of exams i would definitely enter.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, i dont model to improve my skill, i model to make something look cool and say "wow, i am the coolest sketcher ever" but sadly, when i make a tube of paste and a tooth scrubber...well...i start thinking "***** *** horrible *** ***** stuipid!!!"
ReplyDeletei hope you have beter ideas next tmie

Settle down, jumpman...! :)
ReplyDeleteThis ain't a coolness competition, it's a chance to flex our modeling skills and perhaps get a little bit of recognition at the same time. Who cares that it's "just" a toothbrush and toothpaste. If you really are a good modeler you should able to make a toothbrush that people will marvel at... And that, my friend, would be very cool!
yea...right...
ReplyDeletebut what im saying is that i hate making boring old things that i see day and night, to see it on the computer makes it no beter.
the simplest way i can put this is "tooth brushes are not what I, or mostly everyone else, likes to make."
dont try and make anymore lame excuses, cause i know your just gonna repeat your last messages.

@mr.jumpman v.2
ReplyDeletePal, I'm sorry that you didn't like this challenge's subject; but that is that. We've come to (sadly) realize that we can't please everybody all the time, if ever. I have to agree with Andrew Alexander here. The Challenge's idea is to provide a means for you guys to flex some modeling muscle; to stretch your SU skills. A toothbrush model can be as elaborate and challenging (or as simple and dull) as each individual is willing and able to make it.
IMHO, all your whining about it being , and here I quote several of your recent comments, a "horrible" and "stuipid" (sic) topic only hints to the rest of us that you don't feel capable of building a believable and realistic enough model yourself...
Your attitude is, at best, ingrate towards those of us who spend a good part of our time and efforts in order to maintain this forum.
Man, it is not, by any means, my intention to be rude, but if you don't like what we do and how we do it, nobody is forcing you to participate. Just don't think you are entitled to make demands. Because we love to do it, we honestly try to come up with worthy challenges week after week, but when we fail to please every single whim, I tell you, since none of us is getting paid for it, that's as far as we're willing to go.
Way I see it, you can try and start a challenge of your own. Good luck with that.
Personally this challenge sounds to me really interesting .So as soon as I saw the theme of the challenge I directly started creating ...

Green & Orange Toothbrush
yea i guess that is true, sorry for sounding sounding so harsh.
ReplyDelete@ All
ReplyDeleteThis challenge is "toothbruh AND paste" And not "toothbrush OR Paste" ;)
So please model both to enter the challenge, there's still a lot of time. :)
@ Mr. Jumpman
I can't understad what you're meaning about Moom model.
the first one is a Toothbrush the second is a Custom car.....
Hello Arteets_
ReplyDeleteI posted two solutions. one for the old ponytails and sumthing totally different... but as soon as I saw number 69, eye meen 069 I jus had to.
The Graphic Artist of America will agree its Art.
Art sumething. But its Art. Plus its a bery low poly. Both I should say.
Onward.
Entry:brush and paste
ReplyDelete@ erotinaka
ReplyDeletereally cool model but 1 tiny thing stood out for me that you could correct in literally under a minute...
on the top side of the tube on the side away from the toothbrush there is a 'kink' and its really highlighted when theres shadows on. if you use the flip edge tool on it it looks loads better. cool model.
Been a looong time since I don't model a thing, so here's this:
ReplyDeletetoothbrush & toothpaste
And here's a little image album:

For the record, it was a very fun challenge. I certainly stretched some sketchuppin' muscle with this one.

I am not doing this challenge due to the fact of my last models of Italianate architecture were probably my toughest and I need a little break until next week but I wold Like to do this but I just need a less detail and not so hard challenge. Thanks for supporting my modeling.
ReplyDeleteJeff
My entry is withdrawn. After Zero at 068. No more. I would rather be married, again.
ReplyDeleteWe apologise for this comment, but we are contacting you with regards to the google sketchup 3d challenge. We are creating a secondary google sketchup challenge, at this link . It will be more of a community than the origional, with more challenges more often, and we will be accepting ideas for challenges, in categories such as technology, architecture, fantasy and more. Please have a look and if you like, become a follower. We hope to hear from you to help us make this a success.
ReplyDeleteThankyou,
Oscar
I applaud Oscar for his comments; explaining how all who are not satisfied with the challenge, can take a flying leap. He has done well to tell all of you who; wont model something "basic" or "uncool" to learn some real skills or just go away until a challenge that fits your interests comes along. There were plenty of other modelers who quietly sat bye, while you enjoyed your >Gundams<.
ReplyDeleteSo: this one is for the rest of us.
@ tinkertoy
ReplyDeletei agree. bravo oz.
@ Crazy Eyes & moboille
ReplyDeletePlease insert the toothpaste too , to enter the challenge.
thats pretty strict, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteUploaded mine. Hope you'll like it!
ReplyDeleteHow about a "minimaze" competition. You have to create model, then create small maze going inside it?
ReplyDeleteLittle slideshow to explain why I do 3d Challenges. I was somewhat Inspired by the conversation which the topic generated. I long ago came to a conclusion that topics like "toothbrush and toothpaste" help me learn sketchup better than a lot of other topics might. I hope you all enjoy it. And please take the time to view all of the scenes.

Why I 3d Challenge
Kerkythea renderings may follow (if I ever decide to get a picassa or whatnot).
@ ninthearch (and all... sort of)
ReplyDeletecool presentation and i can see what you're saying and i agree, but recently the chalanges have been getting VERY specific. for example 'a gundam which already exists'. whereas a long time ago, even in the open challenges, which were a more communal version of what everything is today the chalanges were always quite general so instead of 'tooth-brush AND toothpaste and if you dont do both you cant enter' it would have been 'bathroom theme'. this catered to all skill levels, gave everyone a better chance at finding something they wanted to model and meant that you werent waiting for over a month for a chalange that you like.
really liked your toothpaste btw :)
@ Henry
ReplyDeleteBut when a theme is to big/broad then you will get a porblem with rating. Someone can make the best shower there is or someone else makes the best water-closet. Which model should win then? I also think it would be better if the challenge-voting is more public. Maybe on de main-page op the 3D-warehouse?? Or are there more of these challenges? I only particpate in this one.
@COSEDIMARCO©
ReplyDeleteI created a toothpaste too (beside the toothbrush) but I decided to render only the toothpaste due to the fact that my toothpaste is, according to me, a little too common .
Hope that's OK .
@ Moboille
ReplyDeleteThanks. Added to the collection.
@ henkie tenk
ReplyDeletei see what you're saying with regards to it being a problem if a challenge was too vague - how would we rate models against each other.
i can truthfully say, however, that (in my opinion) it was never too vague that it was a problem a problem. below is a link to the entries for open-challenge 3 which was 'tools' (or just search for openchallenge#3 on the warehouse).
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?tags=openchallenge%233
in my opinion its clear which would be contenders and which wouldn't because i believe its more of a test of 'modeling' rather than 'modeling a toothbrush and toothpaste' for example.

ReplyDeleteIf you've already seen my entry, take a look again because I just added a Kerkythea rendering as a scene.
