Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

BUMP* we need to get this thread back.

I'm working on getting my studio back up and running, so stay posted...

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

You are quite right.
Maybe we need a new challenge?

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

A distinctive self-contained object is probably the best bet. Rivers are a bit too organic - you can't really model one in isolation without the accompanying river banks and foliage and whatnot.

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

How true.
Why don't you choose the new theme?

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

What about guns?

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

Possibly.
Guns are pretty common, though.
Any other ideas, Anteater?

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

How about a bomb? Can be anything from the spherical Acme bomb from Roadrunner cartoons to a complicated realistic one with lots of wires and stuff.

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

I'm up for a bomb. I'll crack out the maya.

And it shouldnt take long. We should do simple stuff from now on, so people are more willing to do it, and we can make them within like a week.

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

Okay.
Bomb it is!
I'll post all the details tomorrow morning.

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

I would definitely enter this contest, but I have no CGI  software, and I doubt there's any free software to create CGI animations on. Plus, I have no experience with computer generated imagery.
Good topic though ZP!

I'm feeling it again!

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

Okay!
New challenge: Creating a Bomb
Deadline: Wednesday, August 31st, 5:30 PM EST, 2011
Good luck!

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

I should enter this. I still am completely new to Maya, so it would be great to have an excuse to use it apart from animation.

Still, I'm in the process of moving. We'll see.

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

I will enter this, even though I am a bit rusty on the modeling side.

Re: The CGI Challenge: Creating a Bomb

I believe that Anim8or 3D is also free.

That wasn't actually a bump at all.
It was just two days apart with the previous post.

I used a cloud texture and bump mapped it a little to make the rivets mini/wink .
