My Favorite Toy Challenge - otacon
 

This is a cool looking challenge. I love vintage toys so I am going to try and come up with something. Still searching for reference, but I'm thinking maybe an old tricycle. Stay tuned.

So here is my reference image. Going for this old tricycle.

Some wheel modeling...

got one pedal done...

Front wheel done. I'm modeling this whole thing in subpatches so I can give the metal nice details. All the imperfections will really add to the final render.

This is as far as I got tonight....

wow that tricycle looks really uncomfortable >_<

Good start to the modelling though mate. Just seen your other cgi work on your site and if your final render turns out as good as previous work then your guna do well :) Good luck.

Would make an awesome training unicycle :D if you fall of your not going to be happy!

Nice going so far I'm also a fan of the work on your site look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Thanks guys. Those old toys probably were pretty uncomfortable. Back wheels modeled...

some handlebars...

got the frame in...

Modeling is done.

Well, model looks good so far. I've little doubt we'll see some exceptional textures, and an ace render for this, so I'm definitely looking forward to see what you do with this. Good luck.

The toy looks good.

Thanks. I'm trying to decide if I should make something to go with it since there's still a lot of time left in the challenge.

Very cool and already finished mesh. Good luck!

A teddybear/stuffed bear [would be interested to see what you do with the fur, maybe the new fiber FX tools?], maybe one of those balls with a star [white ball/red stripe/yellow star, classic] on it, maybe a jack in box? I think either of those would go with the vintage/reto look of the tricycle.

On second thought the ball might be too modern, that's a really old style trike, steel wheel and all.

I decided to just stick with the tricycle. Texturing was pretty easy, just a bunch of procedurals. Heres my final renders.
