3D Challenge #021 - Battlebot

Note: Please read the guidelines for participating in the challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to have fun and bring SketchUp users together and help each other learn and get better at using our favorite 3d modeling program. We will remove comments that are objectionable or offensive.

This week's challenge:

Battlebot

You may know the TV-show with all those robots battleling in an arena against each other. This week we are going to model a battlebot for such a contest. There are two limitations to your battlebot; With all battle weapons fully extended the bot should fit in a box with a length, width and height of 8 foot or 2,5m. Secondly, in case of a multibot (a configuration consisting of multiple independent smaller bots) you may not have more than three independent bots which should fit together in the same box of 8 foot or 2,5m. More information about battlebots can be found at the official battlebot website.

Good luck ALL!

3D Challenge #020 - Windmill

This week's challenge:

Windmill

This week we are going to use the power of the wind by creating a windmill. Windmills exist all over the world in all kind of sizes, shapes and for many applications. During history, this force of nature has been used to pump water, grind grain, saw wood and to produce electricity in the modern windmill generations. As usual you are free to choose the design and application of your windmill. You can use one of the mentioned applications or create a new one yourself.

Good luck ALL!

3D Challenge #019 - Magnetic levitation train

Note: Please read the guidelines for participating in the challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to have fun and bring SketchUp users together and help each other learn and get better at using our favorite 3d modeling program. We will remove comments that are objectionable or offensive.

This week's challenge:

Magnetic levitation train

Magnetic levitation (maglev), a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. This principle makes a train float in air which eliminates friction that wheels normally would produce. Without that friction, higher speeds are possible. The current speed record of a maglev train is 581 km/h or 361 mph. The challenge this week is to create such a maglev train from an existing or imaginary design.

Beside the weekly challenge, we would like you to take notice of an additional challenge by Aidan Chopra from the Sketchupdate blog. For that challenge you have to create a new sleigh for Santa. More information about the challenge and how to participate can be found at the Sketchupdate blog.

Good luck ALL!

3D Challenge #018 - One person spaceship

Note: Please read the guidelines for participating in the challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to have fun and bring SketchUp users together and help each other learn and get better at using our favorite 3d modeling program. We will remove comments that are objectionable or offensive.

This week's challenge:

One person spaceship

With very few examples available, the subject for this challenge demands a bit of imagination. We are going to model a spaceship for one person. There are no limitations to the ships purpose, size, shape, style or used technology for as long as it is designed for one person. It could be a one person fighter, an escape capsule or just a normal transportation vehicle for the future. All options are open, so let your imagination go crazy on this challenge. A nice example of a one person spaceship is the Tie Fighter from Darth Vader of the Star Wars movies, as shown in the image above.

Good luck ALL!
