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!

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.
Challenge suggestions are welcome to be placed on the blog. Items will be noted and compiled on the moderator’s list. At that point, the initial comment for the suggestion may be deleted so as to maintain a streamline challenge thread for use of posting entries for the challenge and comments to models. Challenge suggestions have always been welcomed and taken under consideration.
Good luck with the challenge!
The main page says "please keep in mind that we are modeling space rescue pods, nothing else." does this mean that I can't model a space pod and a vehicle that transports it while it is on earth? I just want to know before I spend a lot of time on the transport vehicle, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHere is my model The EG40 yeah baby yeah...
ReplyDeleteRE upload Sorry user error

@ AnyAirRc
ReplyDeleteModel escape pod only.
hi cormades,
ReplyDeletealthough this is not related to the pod. i was wondering if anybody here can make a pringle potato chip sketchup model.kinda interesting. if possible, i salute to the guru of sketchup, becos for me that is the ultimate challange.
please tutorialize the idea for me to baby step.
Is there gunna be another uproar about the winner of challenge 43? I only ask because the winner didn't receive any ratings/comments in the warehouse, not that it is a bad model.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could try my voting system (the one where we vote by leaving comments in a "voting model" posted by the mods)... Just throwin it out there! :)
Just so I and others that might have similar ideas get it right, this means that I could not model the space pod and a semi truck and trailer to haul it around on earth? This would also mean that no environment objects should be modeled either? I just want to make sure that my model and everyone building a model fits the challenge because for me at least they take a long time to build and are a source of great pride, and I would be hurt if a mod decided I went too far outside the box.
ReplyDeleteFrom the guidelines in the main page:
ReplyDelete"For this challenge, please keep in mind that we are modeling space rescue pods, nothing else."
The purpose of this choice is that we want to avoid that someone model a complete and exagerate starship to justify the small pod.
@ Morls7
ReplyDeleteYou can't upload a model made before the Official Challenge starting date (stating date 11 june 2008). Please remove the Challenge tag.

Space Rescue Pod
@Mr. Planet
ReplyDeleteI can't figure where's the Pod. I see a Space shuttle (not exactly a small Pod) and a complete Space Station.
Please remove 3d Challenge Tag from the model.
@Mr. Planet
ReplyDeleteI saw you've changed the description but model remains the same.
From Wikipedia:"An escape pod is a capsule or craft used to escape a vessel in an emergency, usually only big enough for one person."
Wikipedia Link
Take a look at the other models in the challenge to have an idea.
is a 5 person E-POD ok? you guys also need to be more clear, i almost made a rescue ship not and escape pod ( thats what the title says )
ReplyDeletedang i forgot my name
ReplyDeletemr.jumpman v.2
@ mr. jumpman
ReplyDeleteI think your pod is ok.
It's a mix between LoganC and wikipedia descriptions.
@mr. Planet
space shuttles or, worse, space stations are still too big
@All
Good work!
I can't think of a design for this one. For the next challenge voting pole, why not have "Motorcycle"?
ReplyDelete@ d.square
ReplyDeleteI have made a tutorial for you to make a pringle:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c26790aaa2ba114aff0ca7bb6b57bf8
thats not a pringle
ReplyDeletemr.jumpman v.2
I would also like to try a Motorcycle
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Pringle to me! I, More or less, would have done it the same way, but it's cool to see if someone else might use the same techniques or not.
ReplyDelete-LoganC-
Sorry all, I hadn't seen a pringle in a while, so I remade the tutorial. Thanks for your feed back Mr. J, how else woud I have known what I'd done wrong???
ReplyDeleteHere is the link to the new Tutorial: Pringle
You did a great job Crazy Eyes!! That method could help in a lot of my models!!
ReplyDeleteSoy-Use Rescue Pod
ReplyDeletePardon the pun...
Look at the Gallery.
I'm confused and new to the challenge, you can enter multiple models?
ReplyDelete@Paul H manning
ReplyDeleteYou can enter multiple models but for this challenge you have only 2 hours left
You can post your models from the Sketchup 3d Challenge competition on www.sketchupmodels.com and they allow you sell them as well.
ReplyDeleteHow about making the next challenge an Airport/Spaceport?
