Sorry for the massive delay. This go around, since the month and our time is so short, we're going to build a chair. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Thhe challenge starts today and ends February the 25th at 11:59:59pm CST. Remember to have fun with it! As it's a learning expereince, everyone will be required to post wires of their model as it progresses.

cool beanz. i was wondering if ya forgot! :)

cool challenge. i like a nice design project :)) oh, you want lowpoly wires as well teyon? cheers stu

Yes please, if it's not too much trouble. Low poly wires would be best.

raises hand

low poly wires are not a problem mate, at least for me, cant speak for anyone else of course ;)

ive designed 2 chairs, ones a plywood/tubular chrome combo, the others a leather /tubular chrome combo which is much more detailed.

ill work on the models over the weekend and post some pics.

cheers
stu

Sounds like fun. I will have to make soem new chairs because all mine are now in their high poly form.

Aaaaiiiii... "chairs"? Not again! The few times I ever get to model at the office is for some designer asking me to make a mesh of a chair from some catalog for use in some office space we are designing for a client. Strangely... the actual chair manufacturers don't have a 3D mesh of their own products. You'd have thought that they'd have one to give away to designers (to make it easier for them to sell their product). Anyhoo... I suppose it would be fun to try modeling an antique chair. I'll see if I can get some reference pictures up before I take a stab at this challenge. :o) Cheers! M

This might be a dumb question but "where or to whom" will we post final renders. Should we be sending our work and low poly renders to"?". Just curious since if I go and make something I'll want to know what to do after that and have not submitted in this forum yet.

Good question... might be too late to set up a challenge page... hmmmm... what if we post WIP's to individual threads, then at the end of the challenge we just wait and see what Teyon's got in mind. I suspect it might be as simple as all participants posting to a special thread, then we do an open poll from there. :o) Best to wait and see what Teyon thinks is best. Cheers! - M

Wow. M, you're like...psychic and stuff. That's pretty much what I had in mind for this month, just to get an idea of how many folks would enter and stuff. Now, if you could maybe work your M-jo on the New York State Lotto Jackpot and slip me the numbers....
