Objective: to model some kind of calculator in under 2 hours, it doesn't have to be the typical plastic digital calculator.....be abstract if you like.
Rules:
1. Create the model in the specified time.
2. You may enter as many times as you like.
3. Your entry should include a wireframe screen grap before subdivision has been applied, mainly this is so people can get an idea of how things were created and perhaps learn a few things (this does not have to be incorporated into the final rendered image, if you feel your wireframe needs to be large so that people can understand it better then post a seperate wireframe).
4. Include time spent, trueSpace version, render engine.
5. Post only one image (and 1 wireframe if you like) per entry which must be no larger than 800x600 pixels. Final composition is up to you and can include as many copies of the object as you wish. Composition can include other objects but the main focus should be on the object specified by the challenge title.
6. Render time, lighting and texturing are not included as people with slower computers may be at a disadvantage.
Again, winners are encourage to produce a tutorial on how the created their winning piece. I will be sometime soon ;)
Time limit - 120 minutes
Deadline - 6.00 PM G.M.T. Saturday 24th of March 2007
Subject - Calculator |

Here is my entry.. Modeled on Truespace 6.6 and Rendered on 7.11 with Vray 1.0.
Modeling time 1h 30 minutes from the start to the end. Lights and Shader about other 30 minutes... Render time 4 minutes at 1024x768 x2
*Scene without external Objects.. :cool:

I saw the first calculator, and figured I would callculate the same number of 647890
When I was a lad in school, they tought us how to calculate with an Abacus, so there ya go.
Model time 48 min
Render time 2 min (aprox)
4895
This wirefram shows what I used.
cylinders for the posts and moulding
planes for the floor and walls
cubes for the abacus frame and table top
Modified a cube for the legs
The beads are made from the torus - used the handles to flatten the top and make the center smaller.

Here is my entry for the calculator speed model challenge. For those who haven't seen one of these befeore it's a sliderule. We were taught how to use sliderules at school until the powers that be allowed the use of electronic calculators.
I remember one teacher would challenge the kids to come up with answers faster on electronic calculators than he could using a sliderule.
Modeling time for Sliderule - 15 mins. Pencil -2 minutes notepad. Around 25 minutes.
Texturing took longer than modelling at just over 48 minutes. |

Well folks, knew I wouldn't be able to work fast enough to make one of those high-fangled scientific calculators so I decided to go the other way... let's just say Norm would be proud! :D
P.K.
Forgot to state modelling/texturing/rendering time...
Version - trueSpace 7.11
Modelling - a few seconds shy of 2 hrs (as much as I could do, last 5 min spent on solar panel)
Texturing - about 30 min
Rendering - 10 min (high antialias settings) |

Nothing too fancy here, just your average run of the mill free calculator with a new checking account. TS 5, model time 1 hr 30 min. Render time 25 seconds.

OK, here is my entry:
Modeling time: 115mins
Texture time: 20mins
Rendering: 30mins
tS Version: 7.5beta
Rendering Engine: DX9/Lightworks
All of these images were created using trueSpace7.5beta
Top one is a lightworks render
Middle one is a workspace shot
Bottom one is a semi-transparent workspace shot with wireframe |

OK, So I finally found some time to enter so here is my entry: SDS layers were applied but was finalized before adding the numbers to the buttons and subtracting the holes.
Modeling time: 90mins
Texture time: 30mins
Rendering: 10 mins
tS Version: 7.1
Rendering Engine: Vray |

Needed a forum calculator:
Modelling - trueSpace 7.11,
1h (mainly because I ran into problems
I didn't expect - with glass and subtracting)
Render Engine - LightWorks
Textures from my own library, maybe 2min
to choose the color scheme for teh calc and
postwork in Paint Shop Pro X - whopping
3min ... |

Darts score calc. No idea if these exist or not but seemed like a good idea (wish I'd had one when I used to play, would have saved having to learn maths!!)

Ok, Finally managed to complete this one!
Modelling took so long (it's only planes and cubes, really!) because tS kept being funny with fillet tool which I was using for the first time ...
The decals and textures are photos I took from the real thing so it's a really basic model when you look closely :D
The LCD screen is a quad-divided plane with shaders for the black bits :)
