SketchUp 3D Challenge #173 - Ferris Wheel

Monday, 15 April 2013 - Thursday, 25 April 2013


The first wheel to be called a Ferris wheel was designed and built by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. for The Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Sadly, he died of typhoid fever at age 37, just three years after the wheel was constructed. In 1906, after being part of the St. Louis World's Fair, the wheel was blown up with dynamite in a controlled demolition. Since then, the Ferris wheel has been a popular attraction at many fairs and parks all around the world.

For this challenge you are free to model an existing Ferris wheel or design one from the ground up using your imagination. Feel free to push the boundaries to come up with something completely unique.

Standard Participation Rules apply. Thanks to DalexD for the great suggestion.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #172 - Fireplace

Thursday, 04 April 2013 - Monday, 15 April 2013


The name, fireplace, says exactly what they do. They are a structure designed to contain a fire and to divert the hot exhaust and smoke safely away from those nearby. In the past, they served primarily for heating and cooking in the home. Now, most fireplaces are used for the relaxing glow they make as more efficient ways of heating and cooking have come to be. Traditionally, their primary fuel has been cut wood but can also be fuelled by wood pellets, propane, natural gas and even electricity.

In this challenge you are allowed to model and design any kind of fireplace you like. You may model an indoor or outdoor fireplace but it must use some sort of chimney or other means of diverting smoke.

Standard Participation Rules apply. Thanks to samothrace41 for the suggestion.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #171 - Hats

Monday, 25 March 2013 - Thursday, 04 April 2013 

Hat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hat is a head covering. It can be worn for protection against the elements, for ceremonial or religious reasons, for safety, or as a fashion accessory. In the past, hats were an indicator of social status. In the military, they may denote nationality, branch of service, rank and/or regiment.
For this challenge you are free to model or design any kind of hat you like. Thanks to samothrace41 for the suggestion.

Standard Participation Rules apply.

Note: Due to recent concerns, a new rule has been added. Starting from challenge #169 going forward, renders will no longer be permitted as part of a participants submission. This rule is intended to enforce the idea that this is a modeling challenge where not only is the presentation is important, so is the quality of the modeling and the uniqueness of the design. Please keep this in mind when voting for the winner.
