thanks. Tweetytunes.

Here is the rough sketch.
I need to add something to look plausible.
my machine is clinic car.....umm....
To save someone's life it 's very fast. very speedy :D

Nice - the only thing is the wheel - they do not look as if they are built for speed

Yeah I agree, I would lose the small wheels and perhaps use the cog wheel on the underside if you wanted a wheel - it has a good size for drive, like a drag car has. But obviously make it a tyre and rim and not a cog.

Cool concept mate...good luck

thanks for your advice.
I agree with your opinion. Original idea was to create a landing wheel, but i will change that, and main shape too. a little...
I'm thinking about it deeply.

thanks, I hope you enjoy this challenge.

This is perhaps the most imaginative entry so far. I actually like the wheels the way they are. The back wheel could raise and lower for take off and landing.

If you could refine the shape just a tad and detail it to the max, this entry could be hard to beat.

um.... Here are a little bit refined images.
But it doesn't looks like speed machine. looks like a machine gun :(
so I need to change main shape.

anyway, I made it with nurbs and poly modelling
I try to model with nurbs first time.
i don't like it :( fix fix fix.....

Widen the trigger a little and put in a vertical Ion engine? I would change the 2 side shapes and maybe make them more wing like?? It really depends on what you want to get out of it mate...terrestrial, air, sub-space/space?

Hey this is a good start! My advice to make it more steam punk would be to expose the rear engines a little like the old WWI bi-planes. Throw in some guide wires and a few extra cogs and bits and you'll have a top notch concept.

An interesting cartoon you might want to look at would be Last Exile. They do an interesting steam-punk type feel that might help for a little inspiration towards adding the finer details to your work.

Keep it up!

tweetytunes 12-02-2011 09:27 AM

I am liking - keep it up

I can't understand yours a few sentences.
i'm so sorry. bad english.

Anyway, i changed my speed machine body shape.
The previous ones was a part of something new. New body frame concept is Disposable razors.
Now, we have only one week. i'll do my best

shaimon 27-02-2011 12:02 PM

sorry. I'll be too late.
really, I'm an old 3ds max user but maya newbie.
maya's UI and nurbs modelling, it's confusing me.
Frankly, I wanted to learn maya nurbs modelling through this challenge.
but yet I should be no skills.

I will try to rejoin next challenge. thanks to all
