Magicsy/Noob/New Model!
 

decided my last model was to easy and relied on to many other models to make it more difficult so im doing this instead should be fun!

hey cool ..now thats a challenge for a noob ..goodluck :)

thanks yeah i know i figured i have 2 months so should be plenty of time.

Well, go get em!

Very nice choice.

slight work in progress just getting the basic shape down.

Well... My first question would be what is it your modeling?

lol the dyson vacum sorry yea this is a side view

Looks good so far. Don't believe I've seen a vacume cleaner done in 3d before.

Anyway good luck to you.:beer:

Update**
modeling the bagless bit need somemore reference pics cant make out much detail on this part.

look goog. continue

just a quick render see if things are going ok.
please comment on anything :)

if you dont know anyone with the hoover then pop into a store with a digital camera, if anyone bothers you get them to take it apart and take photos - you can say you need to know if it'll fit into your cupbaord which is a wierd shape ;)

good start though :)

lol!
i dont know if i have the confidence to do that, ill find one tonight on Google ;)
thanks for the comments :D

dont forget yahoo images, most might be similar to google but you sometimes get a few good pics in.
also dont forget the dyson website www.dyson.com as it has technical info and some diagrams on the inner workings - you can zoom in on flash movies too...

great thanks man i have some more now :D

oops i was supposed to put up an update 2!
here it is anyways.
4 weeks into maya, wow i love it!

This is coming along great , a very good model considering you have only been using Maya for 4 weeks.

looking pretty good... get a nice render to show us.

:D:D thanks guys guess i have a natural telent...lol heres another render not to good with them mind Would love someone to guide me through one to show it off better ;)

lol go to highend3d. they have some excellent shader tutorials for glass and plastic.

kk cheers, and i guess i dont ..lol cant even Spell IT!

(Talent)**

Your model SUCKS :lmao:

Sorry I just had to say that. Seriously, it's really coming along nicely Well done!

Cheers
Paul

hahhah :eek:

Update*
still lots of detail to add, 2months worth!
heres a update of the basic shape of the lower part of the dyson close up.

very nice work!! Cant wait to see more progress. You make me want to go out and buy one allready!:D

apart from the price ;)

great going, and you have plenty of time to add lots of detail :)

sup guys,
ok need some advice,
see the inside of the vac inside the tranparent plastic it needs like loads of holes kinda like a big filter,
is there anyway to model this? or should i rely on textures?
maybe a boolean?
i dont know.

i would be tempted to rely on texture and either a bump map or displacement map.
If you try to model 500 holes you are going to get yourself in all sorts of trouble, thats apart from the poly count if you keep to quads.

kk cheers for that,
really wanted to know if i was expected to model it but yea its kinda crazy.

Update testing plastic.

beginning to model the back
soon onto the wire and plug.
which i see as been a long time to do :headbang:

Look cool man

Nice modeling so far. It will be a pleasure to see textured and finished.

**updaTE
added the cord round the back, some more detail and started the extra nozzles for the dyson.

heres a view of the flex cord.
searching for more ref pics tonight.
getting difficult.

started adding to more detail round the back.

testing out my rendering skills.
more work done to the left side.
also just a question notice my shadows projected onto the vac itself they are kinda lines and not solid shadows why is this?
Please post any other crit too please. thanks.

i wrote todyson asking for some detailed picture of the model, which there sending out which is great news as my model has a good basic shape i think but is lacking any real detail,
However i have better news, my wife and i just been out and got a new vacum hahah a DYSON! not the same model but almost, should start coming together more now.
then maybes i will get some comments cause there lacking at the moment :(:headbang:

looks like it's coming together nicely
