Hey guys,
Since a lot of people on the forum are looking forward to another 3d battle. How about shooting out some ideas, for something we all may settle on.
I have some ideas, just shoot yours out:

If anyone knows animation, how about a short quick animation of something? I'm getting into dynamics, so I think it'd be a fun idea.

Modeling a room of some place (ex. airport, apartment etc)

Or maybe a spaceship of some kind? Modeled and textured.

Well I LOVE playing with the reactor physics in Max, so I'd like to use those for some sort of animation battle...

Perhaps we could do some sort of "contraption-battle" where we have to create a neat rube goldberg / mousetrap like device? Look here to see what I mean: http://images.google.ca/images?biw=&q=rube+goldberg&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images

How about concept cars? It's the only way to truly advance 3D modelling skittles ;)! .. No I just think a battle would be cool to see cars :P.

I also think that'd be an awsome idea. I wonder what everyone thinks about this idea.

That goldberg idea sounds neat! I just did a dynamics project on something with that, it ruled.

I would kill to see someone design a highquality batmobile :P.

A dynamics simulation sounds pretty good......I havent fooled with LW's dynamics much so it would be good practice. But I say we stick to stills due to the render time required for animations.....Also I say we do something industrial. Cars tend to take a while at least for me. Actually we could do a car. I have to do one for a client anyway so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone basically.

I felt the same away about time. When I first modeled a car, which I never finished, it took me a while! But if you guys would like to model something a little more basic? Maybe a small vehicle or bike?

hey, why dont we model our workstaion? that would be soo cool. just have a first person view of your surrondings and your computer which has a view of your surrondings and computer which has a view of you surrondings and computer which has a view of your surrondings and commputer which has a view of your surrondings and computer which has a view of your surrondings and computer....

I vote car as well. Ive been looking for an excuse to model my truck.

Awesome, then make a car :P

PS - Whoever does a realistic render of the batmobile wins my vote.

I cant wait to see these. Also like Reef if i see a nice looking batmobile it has my vote.

Physics is crazy guys, I mean anyone could cheat as well and use stuff like Realflow which basically is so realistic you'll become a nutter like me if you use it too much.

3d!! cool, sounds interesting :)

top of my list of cars would be a porcshe 911 gt3 (or gt2 or new cayman or turbo s) or rx8.

lol. so basically ive got porsche picked :P


::edit Porsche gt3 it is! :beam:

aaight someone issue the challenge and for those who dont know you can get blueprints from suurland.com

This is what i am modelling because I have to do it anyway for a client. http://www.chevrolet.com/ssr/

Hope ya'll dont mind that. Dont see why anyone should.
