Speed Modeling Competition reboot, anyone?
-
Well, it's been a while since I've been on these forums (with the exception of an occasional check-in). In fact, it's been a while since I've touched SketchUp! I wanted to push myself to get back into some recreational modeling and thought I could use a little motivation . . .
It's been almost a year (July 2012) since we have held a Speed Modeling Competition on these forums. I know there was very little participation toward the end, which (at least in part) lead to it's suspension. Now I was never faithful in joining these competitions. I attempted probably a dozen, and submitted a total of maybe 4 entries. However, I would love to see these friendly competitions start up again, and I guess the best way to do that is to show some initiative.
By the way, for those of you who don't know, the Speed Modeling Competitions are just what they're called. You have 30 minutes to model anything you want within a certain category, then everyone votes for the best model. The winner then picks the category or topic for the next competition.
So if there is enough interest, I would be willing to commit to running the SMC's for at least a couple of months. (I am entering my senior year in high school so I don't know about committing for a long period of time, maybe I could start by taking on 3 months.) I could set up the competitions and the voting, all that I would need is for a moderator to sticky each competition for everyone. I would also be willing to stretch myself to enter as many competitions as possible, even if my entries are ahem well . . .
Let me know what you guys honestly think. I have created a poll to help gauge interest. Would you be up for this? Any suggestions or comments are always helpful!
Thanks for your time!

It's summer in the northern hemisphere. In addition to my day job, I've got more drawing work than I want right now and the last thing I want is to sit in front of the computer more. I would rather be out sailing. Maybe I'd be interested in a contest in the winter.

I loved the Speed Modeling contests. Sometimes I could participate and other times I couldn't, but I always learned from them by either observation or stretching my abilities.

I'd be in if there could be a "slo-mo modeling contest". Couple of weeks might do it.

Not sure if I understand you correctly . . .
You mean simply a "modeling contest" as opposed to a "speed modeling contest." One with no time limits?
Or are you talking about a speed modeling competition with a longer period for submitting entries?

Its a joke...

I would be willing to participate again. .. although I know that will discourage a lot of you since I ended up winning all the time.

I guess we can try a competition or two to further gauge interest. I'll start one up on Monday.
Boo, have any ideas for a topic?
