SketchUp 3D Challenge #163 - 2012 Year in Review

Monday, 31 December 2012 - Thursday, 10 January 2013

View Entry Models

Being that this is the last challenge beginning in 2012, it felt appropriate to make it about 2012. A lot can happen in a year: fads come and go, new gadgets hit the market, YouTube creates new "stars", not everything's good, not everything's bad, yet it's ever changing.

In this challenge, you are free to model what you like as long as it pertains to something that happened or came to be in the year 2012. Be sure to make it something that would have a broad appeal and be recognizable to most people. The most important thing to do is relax and have a fun time modeling.

Standard Participation Rules apply.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #162 - Secret Lair

Thursday, 20 December 2012 - 31 December 2012

View Entry Models

Secret lairs are a key location for many comic book characters and sometimes real groups or individuals. For a superhero, a secret lair is their main hideout that becomes essential in the concealment of their true identity and their home base for foiling villainy. For a villain, the secret lair is their hideout used to plot their villainy and obsess over defeating the superheros.

In this challenge you are to create a secret lair that fits the person or group that utilizes it. A clever entrance is the key to gaining access to the lair and keeping it out of reach from others and should be considered in your design. The lair can be located just about anywhere, from a cave to a below ground fortress to a hidden room in a mansion. Most of all, have fun and use your imagination.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #161 - Jet Pack

Monday, 10 December 2012 - Thursday 20 December 2012

View Entry Models

Jet packs, AKA rocket packs and rocket belts, aren't currently practical or available as futurists had predicted they would be by now but what is cooler than a jet pack for getting around. If you can get past the expensive fuel costs, the limited amount of flight time and the risk of getting thrown into a sarlaac pit when something goes awry then perhaps a jet pack is for you. Just remember that a slight miscalculation of your flight prowess many lead to your death because you fly under the parachute threshold, ack!

So, if you're up to the challenge, make James Bond, Boba Fett and The Rocketeer proud and sketch away!

For the purposes of this challenge you may model a human figure (or use one you have made prior) or use one of the figures in the SketchUp 3D People library to "wear" your jet pack. (Make sure you import the 3D figure into your model so your entry will upload correctly). 

Standard Participation Rules apply.
