Re: Speed Modelling Challenge #22 Something Fishy

Something Fishy

Bit of a twist to this one: your model must include the attached fish model (apologies in advance!)

All the usual rules apply, and the fish must be recognisable in the submitted image.

Closing time for entries is 7th February 6:00 PM GMT.

Rules can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=291&t=16530

Have fun!

The fish is only watertight without it's fins, so will it drown or swim?

not an entry BTW

That's because the fins are 'flat'- so push pull them a little and they should stay as part of the main manifold... Like this

PS This is not an entry either...

Another 'not an entry'.

SU crashed half way through and i though id lost the model, only to have it reappear next time i opened SU. Had forgotten how much time id spent on it by that point, though, so just kept going for the fun of it.

Good to sea their not only water tight, but can swim.

I AM THINKING REALLY HARD ON WHAT TO DO ON THIS ONE!

Would someone be able to post up some rules/guidelines for these comps for a new member?

:oops:

Hi Lee,

Here are the "Rules" (in the Gallery > Competition subforum - just the competition itself ws made a global announcement):
viewtopic.php?f=291&t=16530

@Remus - just for this reason, it would be good to post this link in the very first post of the "announcements".

by **remus** on Tue Jan 26, 2010 3:13 pm

Very good point gai (and thanks for reminding me leedeetee), didnt even cross my mind, as usually the thread is in the comp forum and only a thread or 2 away form the rules thread.

by **leedeetee** on Tue Jan 26, 2010 4:16 pm

Many thanks.

So, just to clarify, for this particular competition, competitors can model ANYTHING they like in 30 minutes so long as they include the fish?

And also; are competitors trusted to keep their own timekeeping and only model within the time limit? (I am trustworthy, honest!) Or is there a function within SU that times the amount of minutes spent on a particular model?!

Thanks! :thumb:

by **remus** on Tue Jan 26, 2010 4:41 pm

Yep, you can model anything you like as long as it includes at least one fish.

Your trusted to keep your own time

In the past people have screen captured the whole thing but its quite a lot of hassle so its in no way compulsory.
