Put in your ideas

Will set up the poll tomorrow

I'm lost for ideas now - All I can think of is doing a mech again :bashhead:

Maybe y'all can come up with better ideas

ship, ladybird, an accesory - sunglasses

[Jamie Huskisson]

set something advanced with a bigger deadline

set something advanced with a bigger deadline

hmm Maybe modelling a car with a 1 month deadline or 45 days.

I just started my first car - Its just a block of cube now

[SHIVMOO]

mabe... would allow poeple to get going... also would mean i could be lazie for longer.... and not do anything

[Av-]

yeah a car, or just anything that can drive and with an engine would be cool to do

[Jamie Huskisson]

would be awesome to see animation involved too although it would take forever to render...

[SHIVMOO]

if an animation is done as an animation it doesnt have to take all that long

[bongoboy]

Aren't you supposed to be keeping it more simple... A car will be far too complicated for some people! I think something too in-depth will put people off. There were moans last time that a character would be too difficult, but that would take less time than a good car model...

Why not something more conceptual and get the old grey matter working a bit, instead of copying things? Concept visualisation & presentation can be a big part of a 3D artists portfolio and this is a 'learning' site after all.

Maybe take an existing product and create a concept piece based on it. Enhance the packaging, change the presentation or even come up with the next generation of the product. But keeping in mind that for the final piece, you will need to reproduce high-quality visuals to 'present' (hypothetically) the client...

Get those creative juices flowing and lets not turn into a load of photocopiers! This would be good 'real-world' practice for everyone....

[SHIVMOO]

like an accesory

[Jamie Huskisson]

i know this is somewhat against the forum rules a little bit, but why not a 3d model based on the p2l orb? ie intergrating it into an everyday use product, p2l basketballs etc.

[bongoboy]

like an accesory

Nah... it doesn't even have to be electronic

For example take the humble coke can.. how could you repackage/remould/enhance the product. How could you take it to the next level. Thirty years ago people were still drinking it out of glass bottles, what will it look like in thirty years time....

It could be a computer mouse or a tube of toothpaste. But it has to be an concept piece based on an exsisting 'branded' item.

accesorys dont need to be electronic

hmmmm...........

i think bongo is right.. simple is best..and a bit of choice...
maybe an open ended title for the compo that the models have to relate to in some way..
something like..
"a space oddysea"

dam spelling... oddysea- spelt wrong on purpose... and because it could be an odd sea

[Magnesium]

I do like the idea of future concepts of everyday items, gives people a chance to show their creative sides (And perhaps means that those of us with less of a 3D talent could score big marks for having ingenious ideas!).

[SHIVMOO]

thats an open compo idea...

future concepts for everyday items
a pic of the object you are doing would probably be required tho..

[Av-]

ho can you post a pic of something that doesnt exists yet. sry if im missing the point, this is kind of confusing me.

[SHIVMOO]

no no..
you post a pic of the thing you are going to model futuristic

[Mondo]

How about a one off, all out, no holds barred battle royal, anyone can make anything they like, and damn the consequences.

[Av-]

no thats not gonna work, that way it aint a compo anymore...
