cfree68f Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Ok.. I did have one or two trouble spots in my Mechanical entry.. So I thought I'd post some pics here in order to get some feed back.. I mean.. hey all the entries are in right. What harm could it do.. So here is a very revealing shot of some of my spline problems.. Any ideas? I'll make it a link so as not to give to much away. Don't look if you don't want your vote influenced! C Quote
JoshB Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Well now that I know EXACTLY what your entry is I'll be sure to never go into a contest against you. Thanks for setting me straight Colin. And, I have learned that those issues are not restricted to mechanical modeling. J Quote
KenH Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 That image should be stamped in the manual. Quote
Scottj3d Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 One day I'll be that good! You're safe for now. Quote
cfree68f Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 I know! Isnt it ... beautifull? sigh.. I suppose I can retire now. C Quote
heyvern Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Uh... hmm... Wow... Colin... you... er... you went all out on this one! I guess if you win now we know it really is a popularity contest. Could we see a wireframe of the models? I would like to see how many splines you used to create... those... splines. Did you use multipass? Using radiosity might improve the realism. Vernon "?"

Paul Forwood Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Now you're really showing off, Colin! But seriously, issues apart, that has some really good points and the shaders are just unbelievable. Must have taken awhile to render, eh? You are an inspiration! As you've shown us this before voting has begun doesn't that diqualify you? Quote
Guest mrsl13 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 One thing I never understood is that on the hash image contest sight it asked that one not put their name etc on the image, I always thought that was so no one would know for sure whos image it was.....I obviously am wrong, it is getting pretty easy for me to guess whos entry it is just by hanging around on the forum..LOL.... as always very impressive..LOL....now I know what not to vote on ...smile yet it sure looks like you stole that idea from somewhere......

Neeblesquibb Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Maybe it's just me.... I don't think that's a very good entry. Quote
Heath_Naylor Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 hehe, funny thing is is that is actually helpful to me. I never though to use a 5 point patch really. Now I know it is the only smart thing to do! Quote
cfree68f Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 Ok let me clarify a little. This is just a peak at some of the spline types I've used in my mechanical entry. In fact I drew these in Photoshop so as not to even be showing "parts" of the same model. I was feeling a little peckish.. so I posted these as a place holder for when I will show my actual "piece" and how I made it. Once the contest starts, anyone care to venture which entry is mine? Just post an answer here. I won't say yes or no till I win.. or I mean untill the contest is over. C Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I have to say I agree: Why the heck ain't that image in the manual?! Great start on a project you got there, btw Quote
Zaryin Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Well I think I'm going to write Steve an e-mail and tell him to take my entry out. There's just no way I can beat that entry, Colin. *goes off in the corner and cries* Quote
