WIP Rhino Comp 1 - tilite (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=248717)

Can I just put an old sword or two here? :D

[edt by tilite] for everyone who missed it there was a big arse picture of a nice sword erlik modeled.

[tilite]

No.

No images are to be posted in this thread, this thread is for discussing all aspect of the current competition. I will create another thread to submit your final images in towards the submition date.

Erlik what i suggest you do is start a WIP thread, post your image and get some crits and comments. With the c&cs rework your sword and hand in a better version. With this particular competition i am not going to ban pre-made work, as many people have already done the tutorial and there is no prizes involed - atm. If this is a sucess that will be revisited.

So for all of you with pre-made blades seize this opportunity and get some advice from other uses, improve your model, refine your skills in all aspects of Rhino and become a well know voice in this Rhino community.

i think we are going to see some stunning work going on with this lil piece of fun....

to help out...seing as i wrote the tutorials i will happily give advice to anyone entering the competition.....after all this is supposed to be a learning enviroment as well as fun....

ill start a new thread so that any help you guys may require can be replied to by me and each and everyone who is in the compo can read the responses and maybe gain some more knowledge!

this is an excert from Rhino Comp 1~ Kiri's online help (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=249155)post #14

kiri you have impresed me alot with this thread... what i am going to do is allow people to use this technique for rendering because you have once again made something avalible to everyone :thumbsup: but what we will have to do is wait, alot of people are powering threw this comp and i am still hoping for others to join, i really was not expecting such a fast reaction from some. So there will be a submittion for a model and then have and additional submittion for a textured model. I will try go into specifics when i update the official comp thread.

[edt] actually before i do please post your opinion in the copetition thread, but please put yourself in everybodies shoes. Apologise for the teething issues :hmm:

what do you think on the matter? if there is only 1 public opinion it is most likely we will take that road so throw in your own two cents.

[OamadeusO]

Well i'am ready to texture mine.

We can keep the open playing by limiting it to free programs anyone can get.

[kirisute]

to me...at the end of the day...this was never about winning but watching people model an idea in different ways and maybe helping them along the path and finding out new paths to take myself through things.....win or lose it dont really bother me at all....

having said that.....
why not have a winner for best modelling skills...
and a winner for best textured Rhino render.....

either that...or have everyone submit there stuff...rendered or not and simply put it to the public vote.....

either is fine by me!

This sounds like fun. I never posted here before, so nows my chance to get involved.
Thanks

A couple of Blade links

http://www.jayfisher.com/knife2.htm

[Soljarag]

that last link is awsome, thanks

[RandC]

Glad I could contribute!

[tilite]

ok guys i must apologise for not contributing, without spilling my heart, there has been a 'painful' situation of late which has prevented me from much to do with CGtalk. Unforunatly im going to sit the rest of this out.

So the final submission date will be the 8th -12th of this month, so just over a week. Hopefully you will all post on the 8th, get good crits and re-post a better submission by the 12th:) ...lol
(i will start a new thread for everybody to post on the 8th)


So all programs that are free are okay to use. If you do however use them... link the site so everybody else can bownload them.

I guess the only thing left to say is 'good luck' :thumbsup:

[OamadeusO]

Any suggestions on free renderers?
Just done a bit of googleing, anyone here used POVray before?

[Michel-BR]

I am new here in CG, I would like to participate the Rhino forums to get skills in nurbs modeling. I read about this blade contest, and made a simple knife , not a sword, Is that ok?
How can I post it?

Thank you...

[OamadeusO]

Welcome!

Knives are fine, IMHO I think they are better...
Then I am biased.

i tried using 3ds and maya and i cant be stuffed learning them i got university to do that and i still got 2 years of high school so........ HAIL RHINO!

Im in... lol ill post my lightsaber when its done. jst about finished rendering now at 62% YAY (only been rendering for 3 1/2 hours now :bounce:)

anywho happy rhino sword making stuff! :P

now about ur knify spoony thing. Gw looks great so far. id say if u want to add engravments to the knife personally i would boolean because normally I couldnt care less about poly count and a simple boolean shouldnt take up to much more time on render. or u could use the bump idea. try drawing ur design and then scanning it into ur comp then if possible make a net map of ur drawing and apply the engravment drawing to that then use that as a texture. but i have no idea how to map thins in rhino.. anywho Good luck and good work! :thumbsup:

Josh

[tilite]

so with the final submission date over, we can now change the critera.

so then new critera:
model in rhino
use any additional programs free and or purchased that you have at your disposal

so i will leave the final submissions thread open to post any relevant work.
