Amoeba - summer challenge
I decided to join since it would be good practices for a newbie to maya like me. :)
I'm part of an Astronomy club, so I see it fitting to model a telescope...and of course, 'abandon' it for a few years. (Reference to summer challenge). I'll upload 1 or 2 images of the "reference"-telescope tomorrow. :) |

OK, here is one of my reference images (please excuse he fact that it is night, and the room is poorly lit...)
Anyway, I lowered the quality so I can upload it here (don't have an accounts on image-uploading sites.) |

you have a telescope... dude, you are awesome :bow: |
^I acctually flipped it, but preview (a mac proram, the windows equivelant is Windows FAX viewer (I believe thats what it is called)) didn't save it that way. I still have to install GIMP (moved computers) so I couldn't really have better quality then this...
Oh, and the telescope is my familys...we where interested in stars & planets, and in the end that got me in astronomy club. :) |

A bit more progress...
|
looking good :)
what happened to that screw from the prior post? |
Oops...
When I took this screenshot, I forgot to un-hide the screws layer (since one of them has a lot of polys, so the comp wouldn't lag very early in the process.) :blush: Thanks for the compliment though! :) |
ah right,
so how you putting it all together if your computer complains when you show the screw layer? |
Putting it together is not a problem...
the problem is, one of the screws uses WAY too many poly spheres that have flattend...I was going a bit, "over-the-top". im goin to redo the screw once I finished the batch render currently running... ;) ' PS: Will you join the summer challenge too, Chirone? |
the screw is just a series of flattened spheres?
maybe you should have lofted something out of some curves, might reduced your poly count? |
Ok, I'll do that once the last 80 frames have been renderd! :)
Chirone, are you joining the challenge? |
i got scared off from Joopson's rapid progress, and BennyK's fridge! :p
i may still join in though... wont be as fancy as their work though :eek: |
amoeba try a helix for your screws, just adjust the attributes and it can easily look like a screw but with a lot less polys.
Chirone , don't be scared to enter.No one is going to laugh and it's really about the experience you gain from taking part, I always learn something when I take part in a challenge. |
