insta Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 I have had a fever for the last few days, and during the wild and crazy hallucinations I had, I had a excellent idea. A truly superb idea! Since HL2 is on the brink of being released, and we can all kiss our bsp-based maps goodbye (), we can learn to model together, like a family or perhaps an adorable collection of ducks Here is the idea, I will start typing it on the line underneath this one : Every week/month/whenever I feel like it, I will post a type of object, that we all try to model together! I will post lots and lots and heaps and bunches of sourcephotos, so we all know what exactly we are doing, then after some time, we all post our results. The model does not have to be skinned, just post a shot of the model in 3dsmax or a simple render. Ok? Ok! Here is the first Modelling Challenge!! A TELEVISION SET!!!! What is a Television set, you ask? Shup up for a moment, while I explain : tel·e·vi·sion The transmission of visual images of moving and stationary objects, generally with accompanying sound, as electromagnetic waves and the reconversion of received waves into visual images. That's pretty much it. Here are some random limitations that you don't really have to pay attention to, but I wrote them down anyway : -Max polycount ~1000 -May include a TV tray -Antenna on top = BIG PLUS! And here are the sourcepictures : Stop reading and start modelling! Quote

KidDynamite Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 neat model shouldn't the knobs be in the middle instead of at the bottom of the panels. i like it though <3 CJ Quote

Mazy Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 looks kewl cj, but try making it go back a bit more cuz its really thin atm but then it might just be the angle anyway, looks good~~ also good that youre making something else than cars ~ Quote
Duff-e Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 MAYBE ITS A PLASMA TV HMM DIDNT THINK OF THAT EH!?!?!? Quote
cyberjunkie Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 It is the angle, here's a bit darker render which shows the depth. The knobs of the middle compartment are sort of like a slider.. Its like a panel in the front. Quote
