This week may be quite a difficult challenge for some! You will be modeling medieval armor for a knight, or perhaps even a horse! These shapes tend to be more organic and could prove to be a challenge in SketchUp!
Good luck and have fun! Just try your best and see what you come up with!

3d challenge 081: Medieval armor
ReplyDeleteWork in process
cloudedzero, it doesn't necessarily have to be a complete set, no. If you wanted to just model the helmate and chest aromor or something like that, it would be fine.
ReplyDeletesorry skipping this one to work on my on little jet pack project.
ReplyDeleteI decided to go for a nice look, rather than a perfect mechanical suit. Sketchup isn't that great for this smooth curvy stuff. No distinct in- and outside layer (thickness), that just was to much work!
ReplyDeleteALX' Armor@all: ;) i expected more models by now! Or is everybody still working hard on their suits?

I am starting a new SketchUp challenge similar to the Google SketchUp 3D Challenge called the SketchUp Design Challenge using Facebook Pages and I am looking for people who would be interested in participating. These challenges will not be about modeling a specific type of object or building, rather, they will be about designing something that solves a specific problem. For example, I may ask you to take one object and modify it to suit another purpose. For another example, I might ask you to use the built in feature set of SketchUp to reproduce some recognizable theatrical effect (much like the Star Wars Crawl I recreated in SketchUp).
ReplyDeleteI would like all who are interested in participating to "become a fan" of the Facebook page I have set up for the SketchUp Design Challenge at http://tinyurl.com/sudesignchallenge. Challenges will begin once I can recruit enough interested participants. I will send out an update to "fans" to announce the first challenge when it begins and will send updates announcing future challenges from then on. In the meantime, please take a moment to take the poll on the left hand column of the page to help determine how often new challenges will start and for how long they will last. Also, feel free to post suggestions on possible challenge subjects and anything else you'd like to see in the discussion forum for the page.

3: Armor on display_byALX
ReplyDeleteI like the thorax and the attributes! Good work
2: 14h century armor by a.j.unknow
Nice clean model and the signs are really cool. But the helmet is a bit weird.
1: Midevil Armor by Wulf
Good model, especially for your first entry. I don't think you were unfamiliar with SU? Is it? Did you start with an other name?
3:Dragon Helmet
ReplyDeleteby cloudedzero
it was the only one that I really liked the design of, though it has no thickness, which I always hate.
(though I acknowledge it would be very hard to do with thickness)
2:Armor on display_byALX
I like the Mace, I like it when people make chain!
and the torso was also good.
1:Medieval Armor
by Wulf
Very good for a beginner(at least I hope your a beginner), you get points for the most holdable sword, the others had most uncomfortable grips.
I would have voted for 14h century armor by a.j.unknow, how ever, I did not like the design, it was a better Model than Wulf's... I hope you don't stone me...

ReplyDeleteTake a look to this helmet:

Thanks for the vote, AJ Unknown.
ReplyDeleteI've watched the link of your helmet, and you were right. It's how it has to be. You did a good job. But I meant it more like: I think the helmet is ugly, and not the way you designed it, but how they did it in the middle ages :P
I'm a bit diapointed by the voting rate! :( What's the fun of winning or competing if you know that only a few people took the time? I'd like to see 50plus votes sometime!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to use what you're saying to ask my question again to the moderators. Have you definitively stopped adding models into specific collections or that's just a temporary decision ? I guess I've already got the answer by looking at the last collection's date (03/13/09), by we never know !
