Hey guys!

Alrighty then, count me in on this one. I've started challenges before and havent actually gotten down to completing them... but this time, i'm gonna set some goals and pace myself.

Anyhooz, I've thought of some sort of a "Haunted Barn" which i've been wanting to create since a while. Maybe some long grass in the environment, some random stuff lying around etc. I'll use some beat up wood textures on it (now that i have a tablet to work on).

So yeah... I'll be starting my work anytime soon and i'll post a concept sketch tomorrow!

Good luck everyone!

Let's try to keep it more object oriented as opposed to an entire room or environement.

So I've gotta think of something else now... like my computer tower? or maybe a bulldozer!!! always wanted to make one of those...

I'll try and make up my mind by the end of the day

Well, I've made up my mind. I'm not goin with the PC tower idea and neither the tractor. I've decided to go with a CELL PHONE. My cousin bought one of these just a few days ago and i thought i'd model it. Check it out!

Cheers!

lol... SmmothShift is your friend, although you'll need to play around with the corner points a little after you've finished your shifting to make certain that the holes are indeed round...

I just made a tute to help you out a little.
Inside the zip is a Microsoft Word file if you have it. If not then there is also a Notepad file that shows how to do it.
I also left in the object that i created to help you out if you need reference.
