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:

Lifeboat

A lifeboat is a small craft usually carried on ships to provide a means of emergency evacuation in the event of a disaster aboard the ship. Beside ships they can also be found at oilrigs and in helicopters or airplanes which could crash into the sea. Lifeboats can be divided into two main categories; lifeboats with a rigid hull or inflatable lifeboats (often called liferafts). For this challenge all lifeboats are allowed, including liferafts and rescueboats. Your model could be an existing boat or an imaginary design of your own. Typical properties of lifeboats are a low center-of-gravity point, a bright orange color and protection to the elements (sun, wind, water).

Good luck ALL!

3D Challenge #025 - Lawn mower

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:

Lawn mower

This week we will do a bit of gardening by creating our very own lawn mower. The first lawn mower was invented by English engineer Edwin Beard Budding in 1827 as a superior alternative to the scythe. These lawn mowers where man powered until the 1930s, when Power Specialties Ltd. introduced a gasoline-powered rotary mower. Later the electric powered lawn mowers were introduced beside the gasoline powered mowers. For this challenge, all types of lawn mowers are allowed (reel mowers, rotary mowers, riding mowers, hover mowers, robotic mowers, professional mowers, etc.), including mowers of your own design.

Good luck ALL!

3D Challenge #024 - Floor lamp

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:

Floor lamp

This week's challenge is an indispensable piece of furniture for every living-room, the floor lamp. It's main purpose is of course to illuminate a space, but it can do that in many different ways. The floor lamp can be used as an accent light, a reading light or to create a specific atmosphere in the room. These differences are determined by the used lights and the overall design of the lamp. The design also determines if it's just a functional piece of furniture or an object of art in the living-room. For this challenge, the only rule is that the lamp must be placed on the ground, as we are creating a floor lamp. With a rather small object this challenge, there's lots of time to spend on the small details of your lamp.

Good luck ALL!

This week's challenge:

Star Wars podracer

If you've watched the movie Star Wars: episode I - The phantom menace, you might remember the part with the Boonta Eve Challenge on the planet Tatooine. This was a race of several laps with so called "podracers". These podracers usually consist of two huge turbine engines which drag a small capsule with the driver. The one who completes the laps the fastest wins the race. This week the challenge is to create your own podracer for the Boonta Eve Challenge. The overall design should consist of one capsule for the driver with two engines. Weapons are not allowed, as speed and raw power are the keywords for your design.

Good luck ALL!

3D Challenge #022 - Water tower

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:

Water tower

For this week we have another building type challenge, the water tower. A water tower is nothing more than a building or a construction to keep a very large tank of water at a height sufficient enough to pressurize a water supply system. Althought these buildings still exist around the world, most of them are disconnected from the water supply system and replaced by pumps. These days they often fulfil different uses like an observation tower, houses, restaurants, telecommunication tower or other commercial use. Jump in and start creating your version of this monument of civil enginering.

Good luck ALL!
