Model this: 3D Connexion Space explorer
-
No complex is good! it makes people think, I dont have subdivide and smooth myself so I think I could struggle on certain parts however if its ok with everybody here I can apply a sub/smooth in max or lightwave and put back into SU.
I cant wait to have a go at the next challenge! Tennis shoe sounds good! or maybe rubber yellow duck? -
When it comes to the word 'Organic modeling' I'm not sure if everyone is on the same page, take the Space explorer as an example, it may not have a geometric shape but it still has a symmetrical shape, I guess I go by the definition that anything made by nature is organic (with the exception of crystals which are nature made but geometric shaped).
So anyone up for a real organic shape (read chaotic)?

'Model This'
or'Tear Your Hair Out This'
or'Make Your Eyes Bleed This'
I'd prefer to stick to the 'Symmetrical' shapes, to go from Cheese Grater to Complex Mouse to Chaotic Thing is a little off putting IMO. I really like these threads and want to learn and submit as much as i can.These first two challenges offered great insight into others workflow and techniques which made them not only challenges but tutorials too.
But if others feel unchallenged i understand

i find it interesting and all, the same as when i watch someone really good draw a picture or something. fascinating but i'll never do it. maybe wake me up when the model this challenge is a coffee cup or pencil.there definitely needs to be something more general to model, say a tool, a utensil... i'm afraid you're just making a lot of people feel worse at their SU skills than they actually are. IMHO perhaps 1 thread for your 4 or 5 experts and a seperate one for the dozens of us mortals

I say go for the chaotic challenge as long as even one person is willing to try it and post screenshots along the way like Adam did for this challenge. That one effort makes it worth it for the rest of us. I do like the idea of alternating between harder and easier challenges, so everyone can participate.
I know my skills aren't that good, and I don't own SDS as I've never needed to do organic modeling, but I know exactly where to look if I do get it and need help using it. And Rocky, I don't feel worse, seeing an excellent model, I feel inspired
Thanks to Pete for the thread, and especially Adam for the detailed descriptions and pictures

its not that i don't have respect the the masters or feel slighted in any way i'm just saying if the thread would be something like "Model this: a computer peripheral" then the gurus could have done what they've done here and i could have made an external hardrive for example. fun for the whole family
then the best of the bunch could be sent over to the render challenge. 
but hey its not my thread.

I've got an idea... a tree. If you see closely, a tree is not a simple push-pull circle and follow-me with hand-made leaves. A tree has a lot of details, so maybe a pic of a quite simple tree, and then you can use monsterzero's technique (I wonder where he go?) or use your own technique
-
Speaking of the sudden plethora of render this or model that challenges, do we need a separate challenge forum?
Really, there are an awful lot of them lately - not that I mind, I really enjoy seeing everyone's work and I'm disappointed I can't participate as much as I'd like; but it might be nice to keep them all in one place.
Especially if those choosing to pursue modeling a complex shape (such as this controller) continue to post screenshots as mini-tutorials. It'd be a great place to visit to learn how to accomplish more complex modeling in SU.
Also, is there any "official" way to select what model this/render that appears in the forum, or can anybody throw something out there?
Thoughts? (Sorry if a bit OT...)

very nice and my compliments to all of you for the modelling. after this lot of work, do you use really the spacePilot?

It would be interesting to see a MOI3D user post a version using Nurbs so we can compare and learn.
Not exactly the same but...

Great video Pilou. Taught me a lot about the capability of Moi and NURBS modeling.

You can try it for the fun with the infinite demo
