And a little inspiration to get you going.

Always wondered what that kinda 'art' was called, I once almost bought an industrial looking metal fish (wife talked me down).

This would be an awesome subject for rendering too.

[oalexis]

yes it is there is a similar contest going on over at cgtalk.com although theres is much much more than a speed challenge, but still inspiring.

Great subject. One I had in my back pocket had I ever won again. I only hope I have the time to enter this one.
It will be an interesting one to say the least.

You can thank Mr BTM fpr the good choice of topic

oalexis, those cgtalk competitions are amazing. Im always amazed at what they can achieve.

[david_h]

so if I understand this right it's kind of a Lo-tech . . .or hi-tech rendered as lo-tech. .. steam, winches, pulleys, etc.--kinda like the stuff you would see in the Wild Wild West (old TV show--I am dating myself!) is that it?

this topic reminded me of this movie.. all sorts of cool gadgets in it.

Hi Guys,
Couldn't resist.......right hand started fidgeting!!
The peel would have taken the modeling over an hour. The textures and style took approx 2 hours post modeling.

[remus]

Very nice bruce

[modelhead]

Thanks Remus.

[boofredlay]

I love it. A steam powered Apple Corer Peeler Slicer. I wonder if it is made by Pampered Chef?

Nice work. The competition is on!!!

The moment I finished modelling i noticed this wouldnt work. I suppose it might make a nice statue

[modelhead]

You've seen those ads with the guys that are pedaling the world. He looks like he just came off shift. Cool Remus.

Nice entries!
I still haven't thought of what I'm going to make yet, probably some kind of steampunk robot.
Also, when do I get the prestigious title of "that-guy-with-the-yellow-orange-display-name"?

[remus]

When you win, of course

[•BTM]

Oh, there it is

well you got it now. . . .Mine is back to dull ol' gray. I think that FORMER winners need some kind of name designation . . . plus life-time secret service detail.

You know . . .benefits that befit the dignity of the office.

My first entry in a contest. I had to do it in two sessions of 30 min. Hope that is not a rule breaker. Love this theme, can we have two entries?

[xrok1]

oh what the hell, here's mine:

Not a rule breaker as far as I see it. Nice work. And yes, you can upload more than one.

[boofredlay]

Ok, I had a go. This is my Steampunk Lightsaber. It is not my design, that I "borrowed" and I had fully intended to wrap certain areas with copper piping but I ran out of time. I stopped around 58 min. This one was not as easy as I thought it would be
Hope you like.

[jeff hammond]

i was 25 minutes into the steampunk challenge and i killed sketchup.. 80,000+ entities already..

by doing this though, i thought of a better way to draw what i'm trying but i'd have to start from scratch..

ruling?

so i started over and ended up making the same mistake only different.. this time i made it to 45 minutes before i realized i need 3 or more hours to draw what i want (1 of those hours would be spent rotating/moving etc -- too many polys). i wanted a big padded leather looking thing to finish off the frames and then a strap.. so now, i really do have an idea for something that can be done in under and hour.. i'm posting these anyway

[if i don't get around to attempt #3, i'm at least hyped that i stumbled across a way to get this pseudo-clay look out of sketchup]

[remus]

Wicked lightsaber boo, crazy amount of detail for an hour! And cool spider xrok

[boofredlay]

Thanks remus. The main body was just a profile Follow Me around a circle. It was all the little bells and whistles that took up my time. And I wasted almost 10 min. doing the grip the "wrong way" before I got it right (the way I wanted it to look).

[•BTM]

I went through the process in my head, and modeled as fast as I could; took pretty much the whole hour, textures added after time, but it's finnished

...I wish I could put the pictures together like in Boo's post, so I would have all the pictures on the voting page. Anyone know how to do it with GIMP?

[boofredlay]

Very cool!

[david_h]

that does it . . ..I think I will wait for the next one. That is just too cool

[jeff hammond]

another set of glasses that i was able to sort of finish in under an hour.. i couldn't put in some of the details/gadget add-ons that i would of like but these should still be okay for driving/flying those machines around .. they should also work well for apple peeling and lightsabering

[tinanne]

I don't know how you guys do this stuff in an hour. It would take me a week! Someday I'll join in. =)
