  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!!!!

  13. UltimateWheeler_byALXFun... i tried to be as much onthe edge as possible for this challenge! Technicaly, not even real "wheels", but they function as wheels, so i guess it's ok! Damn, this wheel-concept is far out!

    ReplyDelete
  14. You know, it's really too bad you limited it to 1-10 wheels. I'd have been more interested in doing a semi-truck. Maybe I'll try a tractor...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hey, I've just finished my model and done all the required renders, first go to my picasa page...

  16. @Cleric...do you play medal of honor heroes 2? Becuase i was facing a guy on there and his name was cleric!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks for everybody who rated my model, except for "@#$%*$#^!!!!©".

    Oh,just, something crossed my mind, Rahul Desai, were you ironic :)?
    I just want to be sure.. I'm not good in modelling cars, motorcycles...etc. Then I guess I've failed again, though I really thought this one was OK. I need you to tell me what you didn't like, please.

    I got a challenge's idea : An art painting/drawing.. 3D adaptation, like Les Vacances de Hegel - Magritte, or even Salvador Dali - The Persistence of Memory.

    Nb: Has anyone watched my bloody valentine 3D ?Is it lame ?

    ReplyDelete
  18. retro concepr vehicleThat is my entry for this challenge, hope I did all ok (I followed J-m@n's participation manual). And there is the new challenge idea: first aid kit.

    ReplyDelete
  19. @ Rahul; Hey man, i have to ask... What is it about you (you've just joined the challenge), for rating mostly 4 stars for good/excellent models?! I've noticed you doing so. It's ok on the one hand, you're allowed to, BUT WHY THE H*LL rate a very, i repeat A VERY poor BMW's F1 a fiver, and for instance, Jumpman's only a 4? I expect a more objective approach from one of the challenge-team! Not to be to rude, but i don't see you posting models of our quality! Sorry! Just had to get it out of my mind!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Don’t worry about those stars, keep working on your models & have fun. DesignsbyALX you are great 3d modeler & renderer.

    I m here from beginning of the 3d challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  21. hi Sketchmaster Tóth,
    (first aid kit)
    i like that idea, will use it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. designsbyAlx & RD---

    I dont mind bad rating at all, just as long as it has truthful critisism attatched to the rating, so RD if you rate my model a **** id at least like to know a little bit about why. and Designsbyalx, dont be so harsh, its just a lower then best rating =p

    mr.jumpman v.3

    ( i think he took the ratings away anyways )

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Rahul; I'm always having fun, but you didn't answer my question! I'm just curious on what terms you post those ratings. Can't a guy get a straight answer?!

    @Mr.Jumpman; I'm not mad ;)

    So Rahul...what's the deal?!

  25. Something Same happens long time ago Here, (on the stars)

    See giving those stars is each ones personal opinion. I m in CG industry for 5 years, my way of inspecting SU models is thorough. I just want that you make your model complete clean & fine that’s why I gave you 4 or 3. 5 stars only for final & clean model.

    For your Knowledge, I m professional CG artist working for industry

    Although forget about it, my stars are gone. Keep up with your challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  26. good job designbyalx, you made him take my stars =p

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'd like to add my speeder to the challenge, but it doesn't have any wheels. :(

    ReplyDelete
  28. Vehicle is a universal term for a 'People Carrier' and wheelless form of transport should be allowed.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh, and i would like to enter a plane (WHICH HAS LANDING GEAR WHEELS) is it allowed?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hello

    Wacov & skacker; speeder or flying-car will be OK, but don’t go for planes.

    Thanks

    Have any ?, then let me know.

    ReplyDelete
  31. @ Rahul;

    That still doesn't explain why you (with your 5 year experience) rated that crappy F1 a fiver?! And why did you remove Mr. Jumpmans stars!? I don't care you took mine, but at least give him the rating back! (Pretty please!)
    Andehh, how about a medievel torture set!? I'll make one that fits you! (word-joke, sorry just kidding!)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh, and another thing, what happened to my robocop-link?! What happend with having fun and sharing models on this blog?!
    I'll keep posting till i have my answer!

    ReplyDelete
  33. @ designbyalx ( from now on ill just say alx cus i dont like writing so much... )

    shucks...

    ReplyDelete
  34. DesignsbyALX,
    you wanna answer about your (UltimateWheeler MMR25) model -

    First thing I haven’t called it crappy & I gave you 4 stars for it; there are modeling mistakes in it, some edges doesn’t matches, there are unwanted gaps in model, your texture is low-res, no mechanical details. Also Don’t like the way of model presenting & some colors.

    About the concept design I like it (My comment with the 4 stars is – Creative)

    My thought giving 4 stars is - you are good modeler you should work more & make it perfect.

    medieval torture set, good idea.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Has my idea of the painting adaptation been written down ?

    ReplyDelete
  36. I know you didn't call it crappy, i wondered why you rated (in MY opinion crappy) BMW F1. Thanx for the comment! I'll explain it! (for everybody) I build most of my models to make it suitable for nice renders, but up to a certain point. Who needs a 8mb model?! That's why i leave certain gaps in my model, or leave out parts! (sometimes ;)) This also applies to the textures! I always work or make a BMP, high res, but for sketchup i use JPG, for it saves a lot of size! When i render them (Blender), i'll always use the BMP. I can close up as much as i want. The models are bigger though.

    As for you not liking my presentation; i asure you, i respect your personal opinion!

    I still like you and this challenge ;)

  37. Just a quick question: do twin wheels count as one wheel or two?

    A twin wheel is where there are two tyres on either side of the axle, like on the back of a truck.

    ReplyDelete
  38. YIIMM & all
    Yes, twin wheel will be counted as single wheel.

    Moboille
    (painting adaptation)Exactly whats your idea? Explain

    ReplyDelete
  39. If you like – you can go for (WIP) work in progress, Show-Off Your WIPs models or pics of it. But just add a word ‘My-WIP’ For work in progress Model & ‘My Final Model’ For Final Model, in your post so we can differentiate between final work & WIP models.

    ReplyDelete
  40. here are some pics of my project Herei still don't know what to call it yet.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Then, as I've just told before, An art painting/drawing.. 3D adaptation, like Les Vacances de Hegel - Magritte, or even Salvador Dali - The Persistence of Memory.

    Tell me what you think about this idea :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Moboille -

    That’s something different & interesting idea, Like it.We have noted it. Will use it some day.

    by JediCharles

    I like the concept and those extra's like the cargo door, headlights, doors etc are awesome! A bit segway like, with that auto-balancing system

    2: Torque by cloudedzero

    This would be nice to see on the streets! Looks like it realy could work!

    1: UltimateWheeler_byALX

    Realy good idea! And nice model. (but, the wheels are separated from the shaft)

  52. Hey y'all,

    this really was a nice challenge!
    But i would like to see only the one-week challenges... I just have to wait to long! ;)

    3 points for Street Sabre, by randomofodication. Maybe not the most functional design, but man, what a look! Like some technic Lego machine...very nice!

    2 points for Jedicharles' his Auto Balancing Car. Just a nice looking clean concept. Looks like a pretty realistic option for urban traffic.

    1 point for the Super Cyclone from Mr. Jumpman. Lot's of work, and amazing style! I'm not a fan of the way that your models are constructed, (the amount of groups, parts not intersected blablabla)but you always enter very nice looking models!

    And thanks for the votes!

  58. I would suggest that when voting that we only say how many points we're giving instead of "1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place" or "1. 2. 3." because it could cause confusion. Also, include both the name of the entry and the modelers name. Here are my votes:

    3pts. Super Cyclone Concept Car for 3D Challenge #083 by Mr. Jump Man V.3

    2pts. UltimateWheeler_byALX by DesignsbyALX

    1pts. Torque by cloudedzero

    this is dig i posted my last vote anonymous couse i dont know how to say its my so please dont count that last vote becose that was me to, but do count this one!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I just have to respond to Mr. Jumpman's comment on the voting. I agree to some extend that all the (suspicious) votes can lead to an eary feeling. I know for myself that i can build stuff, but this challenge gives me the kick of aknowledgement by other good builders. I try to return this kick by giving my comment or ratings. I realy don't get my kicks of (and i think that is what Mr. Jumpman is saying) someone manipulating the votes by placing a couple of anonymous ones. BUT i do think people have the right to place their votes, even anonymous.

    We can however give only the blog-followers or actual in-challenge modelmakers the right to give extra points. Lets say 3 more; 1st place 4 points, 2nd 3, 3rd 2 points. Anonymous can only vote for 1 entry, and give only 1 point!

    If they want otherwise... hey, follow this blog or add your model!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Hopes someone likes my entrie :)

  69. @DesignsbyALX

    I agree with you for the single point available for anonymous person.
    But I assume that people could qualify it as an unfair system, then let's see users feedbacks !

    ReplyDelete
  70. We are discussing this issue (Voting), will be soon posting the solution for this.

    For now (Sketchmaster Tóth’ - Can I vote on myself? ) =

    1) You cant vote for your self.
    2) Anonymous votes will not be counted (user should logon with Google-blogger account then vote).
    3) If you have not taken part in the challenge you are voting, you still can vote there; but you must be a follower of the blog & have taken part in another challenges.

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  71. yea, i think its not very smart to let even Anonymous vote because i can just desguise myself, vote for myself, and give myself a little extra edge.

    but you should make it clear how many models to vote you need ( i think its one if i understand correctly )

    Ps. Dang i think im in second )=
