What could possibly be a better way to celebrate Halloween with some Halloween themed challenges for the month of October?

SketchUp 3D Challenge #153 - Laptop Computer

Monday, 17 September 2012 - Thursday, 27 September 2012

Even though the tablet computer is continually increasing in popularity, they cannot (currently) replace the laptop computer when it comes to mobile productivity or media creation.

The challenge is to design and model a laptop computer from any era you choose including the future. It must have built-in keyboard but not necessarily a built-in or folding screen as long as it has some sort of display capability. And of course, it has to be able to sit on your lap.


Thanks to BGA Creations for the topic suggestion.

BREAKING NEWS -- SketchUp 3D Challenge has been taken over by some large angry robots and they are demanding that robots be the topic for the next challenge. If their demands are not met we will be forced to listen to Mr. Roboto for the duration next entire challenge period.

They don't care what kind of robot you model, just be sure to please them with your model or we will face further consequences. They also insisted that we pay no attention to the big red switches on their backs. No reason was specified.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #150 - All-Terrain Vehicles

Sunday, 12 August 2012 - Wednesday, 22 August 2012

View Entry Models | Status:   Finished  

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can get you where you need to go and have fun while doing it. They are defined by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a vehicle that travels on low-pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with handlebars for steering control. For the purpose of this challenge you will be modeling an ATV that fits that definition. It must have at least 3 wheels and designed to be ridden like a motorcycle.

Standard Participation Rules apply. As a reminder, the rules can be found in the menu below the header of all pages of the blog.

Thanks to GoldenSim, the winner of challenge #148, for suggesting this topic.
