  1. General Notes:
    There 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.

    You can use the hyperlink code creator 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.

    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. Challenge suggestions have always been welcomed and taken under consideration.

    Please refrain from using background images in your models as it is the model itself that is being judged.

    You'll notice a new link on the main page that directs you to the First Place Certificate area to which winners are able to print a certificate with a picture of their model detailing their excellence. You can access the page through the main page of the blog.

    Good Luck and have fun!!!

  10. Hey guys!It's been some time since my last model entered right? Well that's because my computer crashed, so now I'm back!Is a camera phone counted as a camera?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I just uploaded my camera, I decided to do something a little different than a just an everyday camera and made a helmet cam.

    there are renders/pictures Here

    and the actual model is Here


    @ Benjamin,
    I would count it as a camera but you should wait to see if LoganC is okay with it before you start modeling

    ReplyDelete
  12. Benjamin, as much as I like to hear you thinking outside the box, I don't think that a Camera Phone is the best idea for this challenge. We have already had a challenge based around cell phones, so I would try to stick strictly to camera's for this challenge.
    Thanks

  13. Hi all. Long time no see.
    All is well I hope.
    I've managed to pull myself away from work and made a camera.
    Hope you like it.
    The reason for the high file size is that I have made it for rendering.
    I will fing somewhere to put my renders and let you all know.

  15. Ok, sorry about the double up.
    Here is the link to the renders of the camera.
    Picasa Renders
    I have done renders throughout the modelling, so you can see how I've progressed.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I've finished to create my model and made all the renders !It's a very original and odd camera.
    You can see 22 photos here .
    And my model below :)

    Pick your camera

  17. Speaking of Camera Phones though, just finished my first model in years! I'm a bit rusty still. Never even used one compenent!
    Phone

    Anyway, Camera models are looking great! Any suggestions for next week challenge?

  18. @ LoganC
    ideas for next challenge:
    space station, motorbike (any kind trike, chopper, whatever), snowmobile, quad, bike, submarine or a computer.

    anyways just some ideas, hope it helps.

    ReplyDelete
  19. @ LoganC, I gonna submit my ideas for next challenge too :

    a Kitchen - a Chair or an armchair (could be a large theme with a lot of marvelous possibilities)- Victorian style house - An university - A whole town (require 2 weeks a least I think) - A hospital - Table lamps (I've thought the floor lamp challenge really great)...

    That's all, for sure, I'm quite less wordy about motor stuffs...

    ReplyDelete
  20. can i suggest an ammendment to mmobiles suggestion?... kitchen themed. this way if you want to model something in great detail rather than doing a whole room it gives you more flexibility. we did this a while ago but i seem to remember it being really good.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @moboille...There already was a table or lamp competition.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Since we can only have one entry in the competition, how about on tuesday or wednesday we take off one of our models tags so when you search 3d challenge 077 it only comes up with the ones entered in the competition.

    ReplyDelete
  23. @ TD2013
    last i heard you can have as many models as you like each week.

    i haven't really had time to make an entry this week because of coursework and stuff. but there's been some really good entries this week!

    ReplyDelete
  24. nice try td 2013. that camera is in the default components that come with sketchup. this is in direct violation of the contest rules. i hope you haven't cheated like this in the past.

    ReplyDelete
  25. jw2014's model is also not his. all of it is some mix of default components. this contest is corrupt.

    ReplyDelete
  26. a kitchen themed contest would be great, though I will not have time to participate until after the 6th of April.

    ReplyDelete
  27. hear is a link to the model he copied:
    HA

  28. Can the next challenge be a mecha or freestyle challenge I want to make another gundam =]

    I am skipping this one cameras aren't my thing.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Don't Worry I havn't cheated in the past. You can even check my models. I was just testing the trick but it failed. I have withdrawn the Movie & Stage Camera! But i still have my world's first camera's in this competition.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well, this is my first try at the challenge: My Canon

    If someone can tell me or send me to a tutorial that tells how to animate the lens coming out and a picture being taken, I'd love to know. I saw someone do that sort of thing with their RV awhile back, so I tried to find a tutorial on it to no avail.

    ReplyDelete
  31. this
    one
    does it well, simply. if you do not pay attention to the tabs but go into layers you should see how it works, you'll have to download the file to do that I think.
    for a more complicated example try this one
    which is one I made, the scenes show all the doors and the portcullis opening and closing, its a gate to a city but again if you go into the layers you should be able to see how it works by turning one layer on and another off.
    I hope I was of help.

  32. there are a lot of GREAT models in this challenge!

    ReplyDelete
  33. You have to put 3d challenge 077 as one of the tags for it to show up.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Just uploaded my model (X-Design Camera). It's a bit different than most other models in this challenge. It's mostly about the design of the camera. I hope you guys will check it out, even though it's a last minute entry. Excellent models out there by the way!

  41. 3 points; Snorkelers' camera! Pretty original!
    2 points; Kodak C330, Crazy Eyes, just as good as my own model ;)
    1 point ; Polaroid 95a, Clouded zero, almost my own idea, but "your" design is much better looking!

    And from TD2013, i noticed;
    "Ok this comment goes to designs by Alex - Canon camera thing. The one that people might vote for, i just have to say that it is just a basic shape with a bunch of pictures! That's not that hard to do!"

    Canon Model Verts

    TD2013, than you build one like this! And make sure you use all of your tools, you might end up with something more than a simple box, and call it the "first camera ever"! Remember, this is a fun challenge ;) I know how to build my models, thank u very much! But i'm still honoured by the fact that you try to warn people for not voting for mine! Feel the heat?

  45. @designs by alx...there i made one with the same photos as the ones you used. I started to make this like a few days ago for this purpose and for proof i am the only contributor. Plus with my TWO cameras they are what they are scaled and everything. They are supposed to be 2 boxes,look it up! You try to make them!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. To TD2013; Well, let's leave it at that... Just let people judge for themselves, they probabely don't need your advise! See your model next challenge, and ehh... make it a nice one!

    ReplyDelete
  47. 3 points go to "Crazy Eyes" for his "Kodak C330". Excellent detailing and some nearly photorealistic renders. Great job!

    2 points go to "randomofodication" for his "Helmet Camera". Very original and a really solid model.

    1 point goes to "a.j.unknown" for "My camera in the 70's". May not be a very original idea, but the execution is fantastic.

    Good~

    ReplyDelete
  58. Three points for "Kodak C330 Camera" by Crazy Eyes, it was just my favourite, I love the renders he added .

    Two points for "My camera in the 70's" By A.j.unknow, of course it deserves first or second place, the modelling is really professional but I don't like the colors you've used.

    A point for "Snorkelers' Camera" by francis_nyc, I've almost forgot it, it's a great model but there were a lot of awesome models here :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. @Moboille
    Thanks for the two points.
    About the colors: If you are speaking about the numbers (yellow and blue) here you can see a comparation between the real camera an the sketchup model

    Your "Vintage Kitchen" is excelent and very very nice.

    Best 'retro' camera with excellent work on the accordian folds on the bellows.
