Speed Modelling Challenge #38 - Fishing

[boofredlay]

Anything to do with fishing

We should see a broad set of entries for this one.

The rules:

- 30 minutes maximum modeling time

- Unlimited preparation time for thinking, sketching, researching but NOT FOR MODELING

- Community will vote for favorite submission at competition end

- Multiple entries are allowed

- Please provide a Wireframe, an Untextured and a Textured image of your model (800x600)

- SketchUp output only

- Please be considerate to members with slower connections when submitting images (800x600)

- Any texturing should be done within the 30 minutes

- As enthusiastic as some of you are about rendering, kindly refrain from posting any renderings in the gallery as they could solicit votes, remember this is about modeling, not rendering

- Have fun!

Competition closes on April 6 2011 - 6:00 PM GMT

Here's mine. It's a simple minnow trap made out of two soda bottles.

I have a question? What am I doing wrong in the modelling that my wireframe comes out like this? The main shape is just a simple lathe around a circle.

Turn on hidden geometry to show all the wires

Thanks. I fixed it. I've always wondered why I can't get my wires looking halfway decent. It's pretty sad that I haven't figured that one out yet. Thanks again.

Quick one... Used Artisan.

Fishing hook (my favourite) and illustrated palomar knot. Figuring out the knot topology took some time.

These are getting good fast

[numbthumb]

Ogan, that knot is scary. What procedure did you use?

[designerstuart]

that knot is insane!

[oganocali]

Thanks, after figuring out the topology I first drew piecewise linear path that follows the knot, than I converted the lines to Tgi3D Bezier curves, taking care that the whole curve is somewhat smooth, then I performed a follow-me. Finally I removed the obvious solid overlaps with Tgi3D cross-section tool. Below is the original file...

This is getting extremely good entries. But David_H has yet to enter so that will raise the bar even higher!

A quick Lobster Pot.
The pot is just an array of one component.
The buoy is a stretched sphere and a torus and the rope a couple of squashed helix.

[boofredlay]

And the arrangement is perfect! The competition is going to be very stiff on this one.

[boofredlay]

Well the fish gotta fish as well. Here is my Mechanical Angler.

I wish I had more time for details. Maybe I will do this one again with no time limit... maybe not.

[Box]

Thanks Eric, I think I used more of the 30 minutes for composition than modelling.

[KiraNL]

I wish I had more time for details.

Please tell me your kidding? That...thing... looks amazing as it is.

[boofredlay]

Thanks Michael. The source image I used had more and different detail that would have taken time. I made a video of it while I did this, I will upload it after the comp. is over (don't want to sway any votes).

[KiraNL]

Couldnt resist, very simple fish trap.

[rspierenburg]

Here's my entry....the only way to Fish. Just kidding.

Dang. . .you stole my idea. I saw a cartoon once called "fishing in the Mekong 1968" and this is what they used. . .so I was gonna model this.

[mukul.ar]

This my first ever enrty... hope you all like it finished dot on 30 mins. Couldn't get to texture it around the way i would've liked to. Used the Artisan plugin.

[boofredlay]

Nice entry Mukul and welcome to the SCF!

[mukul.ar]

Thank-you Eric... Really cool, the entry you've posted! and amazing what people can do here in 30 minutes..!

[bupaje]

Well, just for the sake of participating I offer the albino box fish - 20 minutes line, pull and smooth.

[Box]

Nice one Burt, it's always great to see good things come from imagination and simple tools.

Nicely done. Was excited by Artisan myself and just picked it up.

[boofredlay]

One more day to go!

Simple, but not primitive fish.
