TOYS-wozzyke
 

OK I started modeling when I read the message, I wanne go for it.
I'm modeling some sort of a plane, but it will be a little harmfull, because it will have a weapon, which... You'll see

here are some wires to show where I am

back view...

tell me what you think of it so far

wozz

and a temporarily render, to see what it gives as result

still modeling the weapon

wozz

looks promising so far, did you have a concept drawing or were you doodling about?

BTW; nifty desktop theme but I better stick to win2k : )

I have no concept for the simple reason I cant draw with a pencil, everything comes straight out of the haid.

and the desktop is win XP with windowblinds themes, wich you also can use with win2k

Looking good Wozzyke!

BTW, would there be any kind of theme like that for win98?

Looks good, but I'm still trying to figure out what the hole in the front is? Is that gonna be enclosed in glass as a cockpit? None-the-less, nice clean mesh.

Nicely done, Wozz!

Sheesh... you've already gotten far on your toy, I haven't even decided what kind of a toy to model for the challenge. :(

update! update! :rolleyes:

Hey man I know you are waiting for updates, and all the others maybe too, but the two previous week I had exams, and this week too. So I had really no time to work on my model? When this week finishes I'll work on it, because then I'll have 8 weeks free, so then I have time enough.
I will see if I can find some spare time this week, but I cant promis anything. I'm a bit at a dead end with the model, the weapon I planned to put in there turned out really bad. So I'll have to find something else but I'll find something;be shure of that

wozz

well ppl finally got some time to model a little and look what I got, yes I added a little weapon.
And yes its a nice one, not painfull, because its for kids. But I would play with it too, but I'm maybe a little child too.

It's not finished but as you can see I'm making progress. The weapon is such an arrow that keeps sticking on your head when kids shoot at you. Yes really cool for them but not when it hits your eye for the fift time today :)
I also added a part of the mechanism, yes the trigger. Need to model the inside thing but is not that much of work I guess

well tell me what you think of it so far, comments are allways most welcome

wozz

other view

and without wires

hey wozz!

Thats a great update.. and what a wonderful weapon!! is this toy really existing or did you make it up?

very nice work

Digi I made it completely out of the head, yes I'm alittle weird I know and this is only a little tip of the crazyness I'm showing

thanks for comments

wozz

and a front view as requested by moebius.

wozz

That looks pretty damn good. I like how you were able to bring it all together. :D

Lookin' good wozz...

OK I did a testrender using a skydome to make radiosity possible. Rigley told me to give it a try so I did, but unfortunately I forgot the arrow in the plane so you'll have to wait a bit to see that again. An other problem is that my groundplane looks to be dissapeared. Dont know why, it is in the scene all black and in the rendering its gone.

tell me what you think of it

wozz

Looks very good. I'd turn the AA up a bit, but I really like how it all rendered out so nice and soft looking. Keep it coming!

Cheers! - Möe

better AA as requested
again I forgot the arrow

wozz

here is a render were the arrow is included and the subpatch level upped to 10 so everything is very smooth now. Maybe its a little much but rendering time was not that huge, only 39 minutes using GI and radiosity

wozz

This really clean and slick looking now! Nice work, wozz

really awesome work there wozz

were could i find that theme u use that is so cool please tell

Well actualy its no theme I'm using. I'm using a skinning program. Called: WINDOWBLINDS. And when you have installed the program, you can download skins.

wozz

I'll enter as a newbie contestant.

Nice concept. On an unrelated question. How do you grab a still of your desktop like that?
