btw - do rowing machines/exercise bikes count?
Hmm...I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteIf I allow it, I will have to go back and change the challenge to "Exercise Machine"
I don't want to limit people to their creativity, but I'm scared that we'll get like 50 treadmills! haha

ReplyDeleteAlso concidering the voting system is going to be different for now on well I think I will enter under!

ReplyDeletecurler machine
Nice Machine! I don't think I've ever seen the curl machine like that that uses free weights.
ReplyDeleteThe one at my gym just has the selectable plates. Unfortunately, the machine does not have enough weight for me, so I just use the Ez-bar and stick some plates on it.
@loganC
ReplyDeleteI should have put the max weight for this unit it is only 150lb because of the belt
Oh right, there would be restrictions on the belt. That's the max weight on the machine at my gym too. Though, the machines are off slightly. I can only max curl like 70lbs dumbbells, so that's 140. But the machine I can easily get 10 reps with the 150. I wonder if your freeweight machine would have more of a true weight?
ReplyDeleteIt is the same weights with the way this machine is set up.
ReplyDeleteMy max is 105lb at 12 reps and with the Ez-bar it is the same. This machine is great thought it keeps you from using your back to lift the weight.
does this just have to be any normal wight machine? what i mean by that is it just some one who lifts any type of wight? it's a dumb question but i want to make a "super" weight system for a bilogicly advanced super human ( like spartans in halo ) and are we allowed to make the human for the machine?
ReplyDeleteMr.JumpManV.3
@vr.junior...dude that is the craziest model ever! That would have taken forever to make!
ReplyDeletemr.jumpman v.2, well it's supposed to be a machine that people would use for weight training. Either to get stronger, faster, or for stamina. You may model the person if you wish, but I don't think a spartan halo weight machine fits that well with the challenge. We may have a sci-fi challenge coming up soon, but I would encourage you to reach out of your comfort zone with this challenge!
ReplyDeleteWe really should have either a way to choose the next challenge or a way to have multiple challenges at a time that span interests. Or maybe even skill categories. Maybe something like that. I'm waiting out this challenge because I make really crappy blended curves. A weight machine has to many of them.
ReplyDeletePosted from Apple iPhone.
First things first. Cloudedzero... Now that your models have been there for a while and people are starting to sumbit their work out machines that are actually for the competition i would reccomend removing your models that arn't for the competition.
ReplyDeleteNext, in the comments of my model...
-Thanks goes out to moboille for giving me 4 STARS
-bc_dav scale doesn't matter so much becuase it can still look good and take up less file size. But just for you i changed that scale to be more realistic, PLEASE RE-RATE IT. Thank You!!!
@vrjunoir...That sounds a little to complicated for just a few people to run, i guess they're just improving our skills.?!?.

I attibute three points for "Curler machine" by Cloudedzero .The shapes are fine, there's some style.
ReplyDeleteTwo points for "Weight machine" by TAN TUNNY, I've hesitated between the first and the second place... great model !
A point for "Weight machine 100KG" by熊出沒！注意！ , it's not that great but better than the other posted here.
TD2013 : Nice work but there's something I don't like about the shapes .
Rubencraninx : I like the originality but it's too limit for the challenge, you should have added some other things.
Bc_dav : Original but need a lot of improvements, first, you should enhance the weights .
In view of there weren't many of them I've took the liberty of making a comment to all .
I don’t know much about weight machines but here is my opinion about the models:
ReplyDeleteTan tunny: 3 points
A complex model, well detailed, especially the articulated system
This model needs some edges to be softened or hidden, and some intersections between cylinders. It needs as well adjust a little gap between simetric components.
Cloudedzero: 2 points.
Well detailed and modelling.
It needs to show somehow the inner modelling of the cushionets. Black over white is hard to see.
熊出沒！注意！: 1 point.
Simple but fine modelling.
Diameter of the dumbbells is very thin. It would be convinient to soften some edges and make some intersections. There are also some reverse faces
3pts = rubencranix - i guess i kind of like the originallity
ReplyDelete2pts = bc_dav - i like the future istic look
1pts = weight machine 100kg - japanese guy - nice weight set up!
