To tell you the truth, I don't really know. It just looked like a good thing to model. I read somewhere it (dichroics/dichroism) has something to do with splitting light though. :confused:
Aaah, the rodent wheel, nice on Vizu

Vizu, your image links aren't working...

EDIT: Nevermind, now they're showing for me.

Dichroism - Pleochroism of a crystal so that it exhibits two different colours when viewed from two different directions. I bothered to look it up so thought I'd share! :-)


I was going to do a hamster wheel. Damn.

Render time, lighting and texturing are NOT included. It is only the modelling that must be done within 2 hours.

Very nice, Prodigy. I had thought about doing a Ferris Wheel as well but wanted to start off with a couple things I knew I could do in the time limit (and I think a Ferris Wheel could quite possibly take me longer than that.) Yours looks fantastic.

Thanks morgan... glad you like it.. :)

Its easy tomakeit.. but yes. need lot of work..

By the way.. i choose a ferris whell but my other option was..... (maybe someone are looking a nice weel idea) .. a water wheel.. its easy. but you must know about water texturing. Maybe Wiz@rd be the person.. :)

Here's my entry - a Roulette Wheel. I took the whole 2 hours to get the model to here - there was more detail I wanted to add but it's so easy to get carried away. ;) I had to settle for a texture map for the numbers, so that may be considered a bit of a cheat? :confused:


I wouldn't think that would be considered a cheat... heck, I think that's how most real roulette wheels do the numbers.


Nice job!

Woah! That's spooky! Awaterwheel I exactly what I had in mind to make for this challenge! As soon as I can schedule a couple of free hours that is.....


There's been some really interesting variations on the theme so far.

Entries are looking great so far! Hope to get started myself on Sunday though I can see it's going to be tough competition already. I do this for fun though so an entry will be forthcoming regardless :)


Already have an idea but it's fairly common and I'm surprised no one has done it yet. Maybe I'll get it out there first. Maybe not but "wheel see" :)


For some reason "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey keeps rolling through my brain...


P.K.

I was unsure - the numbers are one of the defining parts of the wheel so I wanted them to count in the model - Like Prodigy's watch model from a few weeks back - rather than use a bitmap, but hey, this is just fun. :D


Very nice job dude.. incredible work.. :D


Thank you - I must admit to admiring your work - don't know how you have the time to contribute as much as you do!


Cheers.

These all look nice!


I just had a go with a "potter's wheel" scene for an entry, but it didn't turn out quite right. LOL!
