General notes:
ReplyDeleteFrom this challenge and in the future, 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.

Good luck with the challenge!
I am looking foward to this challenge. i really enjoy making trophies, but this is the first time im making one in Sketchup.
ReplyDeleteThe rest has been Autodesk inventor. indeed a challenge this will be :)
good luck to all
well, I've only entered a few 3d challenges so far, and the biggest reason that i enter them for is inspiration. I sometimes have sat, bored with and empty sketchup screen open, and not known what to make. Although i like the way the challenge is done, there are two issues. Firstly, there is the age old problem of making an accurate voting system, and secondly, i wish that people would rate other peoples models! i try to rate them all, and often leave comments, however it irritates me when some people only get a couple of ratings, and other people get 10-15.
ReplyDeletewell that depends upon popularity, gilez.
ReplyDeleteand you dont need inspiration from the challenge, there are plenty of other places to find it. ( dont stop tho, the admins my get mad if you leave cause of me =p )
mr.jumpman v.2

ReplyDeleteStanding Prizes
The car on top took a while to make and all of my models start with a box or a line, I do not use any pre-made shapes. I am very proud of my car so please d/l my model and look at the details.
ReplyDeleteThe Prize
I would also like some feed back good or bad.
Here's my entry:
ReplyDeleteLaser-Etched Crystal 3D Challenge Trophy
Thanks to everyone for commenting so far.
Dragon Girl: The trick is in the transparent gradient textures. I just placed the logo as a component inside the "crystal".
Is there a free program that can import and make nice renderings of my .skp files
ReplyDeleteI believe Kerkythea should do just that! You can get it from Kerkythea.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a SketchUp exporter there so that you can import them into Kerkythea.
Have fun!
-LoganC-
is this program reliable and safe to download?
ReplyDeletemr.jumpman v.2
Absolutely it is safe. I have used it for a few years now and have had no problems at all. It's fun to play around in and try real things to see if they work in the program, such as a prism. Will shining a light through a prism in KT(Short for Kerkythea) cause the color spectrum to show like in a rainbow? Make a model and try it out!
ReplyDeleteBTW, keep up the great work on the models all! Everyone's looks fantastic! I wish that all trophies looked as good as the ones that you guys have been making!
-LoganC-
ok thx, ill try it out ( oooo prisms )
ReplyDeletemr.jumpman v.2
"loganc"
ReplyDeletei cant seem to import 3d models from sketchup into it ( skp files ) do you have the same problem
mr.jumpman v.2
IMPORTANT
ReplyDelete@Benjamin
Please read the guidelines of the challenge, change the name of one of your model.
Models name should be as unique as possible.
@jumpman V2
ReplyDeleteYou should import XML files.
Download the "su2Kerkythea" toolbar from HERE and install it.
Set scene in Sketchup then use the first button of the toolbar (in Su) to export model into Kerkythea. Render program will start automatically.
From the Kerkythea website take a look to the Tutorial section for more infos
Here my 3D Trophy for these week challenge: 3D Challenge Trophy
ReplyDeleteFeel free to drop me any comment on my trophy.
Good Luck to all and me! :)

I'm in kind of a tricky spot here...
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway to upload a model to the warehouse without having sketchup installed on my computer? I'm on an offshore oil platform and have access through the internet only through the Dubai Petroleum computers, and they are super anal about installing software on it. I'm trying to kiss butt and have them let me hook up my laptop, but no luck yet. My model isn't all that great yet, but it would still be nice to enter it...
Also, no one commented on my voting scheme that I posted on the last blog entry... Mods, any thoughts??
Hello Chris,
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any way to upload a model without Sketchup. If you were able to send it to me I would be more than happy to upload to my account for the voting, then you could upload it onto your account when you get back.
As for your voting idea, we did discuss it and agreed that it could work. We may do the voting for a challenge like that to see how it goes.
-LoganC-
yea you can do it by going to the main menu and clikc on upload (i ahnet figured it out tho)
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know how to make premenant styles so when i open SU it will look beter?
ReplyDelete"cosidemarco"
