3D Challenge #047 - Police Station

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:

Police Station

Police stations are the homestead and briefing grounds of the Police Force. There are many Police Stations that were not only built for the Police force, but also as an architectural statement for the town or city. Some famous stations have also been converted into museums with information and records dating back to the first Police Force. You may model an existing police station, or create a unique station that may or may not have holding cells.

Get out there and enjoy the immersiveness of Sketchup!

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:

Communication Antenna

The communication Antenna has been almost a necessity to us and has played a major role in creating what is known as the "Global Village." These antennae may be used for Cell Phones, Radio Stations, and Television Broadcast. There are also different types of communication antennae. There are the High-gain and Low-gain which are determined by the width of the beam produced. No matter the type or style, these may becoming extinct due to satellite communication, which do use their own type of antenna. (Please do not model a satellite)

Have fun with this one!

This week's challenge:

Space Rescue Pod

The challenge for this week is to model a Space Rescue Pod. These pods come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and materials but they all do the same job. There are many NASA prototypes being researched and developed that range from single person torpedo like shells, to full rescue spheres that can hold the entire crew.
For this challenge, please keep in mind that we are modeling space rescue pods, nothing else. So please try to stick to the guidelined topic and have fun. That is what it is all about!

Good Luck out there!

3D Challenge #044 - City Entrance Gate

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:

City Entrance Gate

This weeks challenge is to model an entrance gate to a city. There are many different styles and materials used in these gates and can range from being built just recently as a memorial, or can even date back several hundred years. Some of the more famous entrance gates are made from stone and contain elaborate designs and symbols that have meaning to the city. These are typically connected to a bordering wall and were made several centuries ago. These are just some examples, but be creative. Your model does not necessarily have to be made after an existing gate. It, like other challenges, can be totally made from imagination, and imagination is encouraged!

Have fun and good luck!
