Vectorman VS Fredrickson (Tourny continued)
 

Okay, you were busy during that last week of the tournament. This is truly dissapointing, but we can all understand, because its hard to justify to people in real life spending hours and hours on maya. Especially when we have important things to do!

But that does not matter, for although bjorn thought he had escaped the clutches of vectorman, when M posted that the tourny could not be postponed, he had not! For Vector had posted a new thread in the battle arena........

Model a Bathroom. Public or private, big or small. One built for Bill Gates, or one built for a $100 per month studio apartment in downtown New York.

Type - All (polys, subds, nurbs)

Textures - Yes

Time limit - ONE WEEK

Must show progress shots and wireframes.

Sure, I can do this. Next week then... Prepare to meet your maker Vectorman.

Bathroomsink.

Nice start! I like the plughole. The front edge looks a tad square. Nice texture though.

Small update.

Witchy, not sure what you mean with square, please elaborate.

The edges on the front coners looked a bit square/ sharp in that first shot, but in the second they seem fine. Must have been the angle, unless you were smoothing or something. Nice tap btw.

Thanks for the comments Witchy. I did some more today. I have a special concept in mind, but I'll just model the bathroom first.

HEY WAIT! You started without me ! oh god its all my fault tho, i've not had the internet for almost a week now. Ug i feel kinda stupid. I will try to get something done now.

Nice update Fred.

Might the bath have a splash panel at the tap end to avoid water going on the floor behind the bath? That shower looks great.

Not sure about the tile on the floor and the walls - might just be because the tiles are the same size - perhaps a bigger one on the floor? The soap looks a weeny bit flat.

Overall that's looking very good, look forward to updates. Hope you don't mind the suggestions; is fun following you along as you produce some really jolly stuff.

now that i checked the times, it doesn't really look like you waited a whole week? the other challenge was supposed to end on the 3rd, that was why i didn't think i had to start until today. So i made an effort to get on the net and it worked. I dunno, guess i'll have to play catchup.

guess this is worth a post, but i gotta goto work so i'll see yall after.

And they are off! Nice start Vector.

Vector, I'm sorry if I misunderstood what date we were supposed to start. I stated that I couldn't do anything last week, so when I had moved here and got into gear I assumed I could start this monday. Good luck, and hope you have fun.

Hey, its looking great to both of you! Vectorman, just try to smooth out those corners of the sink a bit :thumbsup:. When is this battle ending. Have a specific date? If so i'll start up a poll for it. If i cant get a poll up and running on this thread seeing it didnt have one from the start.. then it would have to be a poll on a seperate thread. Keep it up, both of you =D.

Update.

I guess it ends on the 7th. at midnight. I should shoot myself, cause now I have had no time. I won't bore you what with, but i'll definately get some work done tonight. Tomorrow i'm not working till 5pm so i should have some time then, and i'm not sure when i'm working on the 7th but i'll get a little time in. So as usual i'll do all the work at the last minute ;)

I don't know if there was a 14 point prize for the winner of the tournament but if there was is the winner of this going to get it?

No prize in tourneys I think. And this goes a bit beyond it anyway.

Style change.

AAAAAAAAAARg, i work way to much, i wish i could compete against this. Oh jeeeeez he's good. I will goto work now, get some nice work done. Oh god i shoulda just left it at a draw! (LOL)

If i were you bjorn, i would take pictures of the crime scene like dectives would (watch some police shows/movies) then agrrange them in a digital manella (i don't know how to spell it, that light tan colour) folder and have it look like a real police report. That might get ya an extra vote or two (not like you need it!)

Ok, this is my final. This was a fun little project. Will post in finished work also, since not many find their way here. Come on vector, I'm waiting for you to show your skills
:beer:

*SIGH* that looks awesome man. I just worked for 2 hours, and my MAYA crashed on my poor 533mhz. I just don't know what to do. I have until tomorrow to lose, so be patient. I've looked quite extensively through maya for the incremental save option can ANYONE SHOW ME WHERE IT IS!!?!?!?

It's there, file -> save scene options -> incremental saves. A life saver.

jeez, wish i had tried that, well i have not given up, i will try to get some work done tonight but i have to do some homework for my new job (yah i'm working 2 now!) So I'm not promising anything. I may have to challenge you to a rematch at some point cause i feel really bad, to have gone through all this trouble so that YOU would have time, and now i don't.

Don't feel pressured to do anything, I know alot of things have priority over this. It's hard to find a week where both have time. Given an interesting subject I can go for a rematch, not immediatly though. I have put maybe 15h into this project, so I'm quite pleased with the results with regards to the time and effort spent.

well hopefully i will be able to get that homework done tomorrow, i've decided to work more on it now. I will tackle another part of the scene tho, because this is actually the second time i crashed it working on that damn pipe going down from the sink. Maybe i'll cover it with some counter type thing. But you're work really inspires me so i want to try to have something pretty next to it.

Wip

Some more stuff. I'm liking this. Put some decent lighting and finish dirtying the textures tomorrow (before midnight)

@ Vectorman

I think you did alot better than i first expected you to do and even if you don't win you did well to get to the final and atleast you did what not many other people did and that's have a go at every round, i think very few people did that. Also if you loose i'd say that you lost to the best person in this tournament, and i'd be happy with that if it was me.

Thank man means alot. This battle is not lost yet, but i will be soon ;)

FINAL RENDER
 

Here it is guys please let me know what you think, crits appreciated because i may finish this for a scene someday(disregarding the wall bump map, i was VERY streched for time;) )

I think the toilet seat cover needs some work done on it, it looks abit messy at the moment, like it was slapped on in the last minute. Also for such a big room everything seems to be too packed together, i'd have a move around and either make the room smaller or spread the stuff out abit.

Excuse my english i need sleep, and i'm having to retype every other word due to spelling. Must slee........... :sleep:
