Ose. what's the name of that shader for rendering wireframe?

@CGKing
how far now?

@slimworks
Nice deviation , pls post wires.

@codename47
This is what am talking about, you've definately worked on this nice. Wires and shader/light setup pls.

anymore entries?

Wrong place

@CGking
Excellent mate!

@CGKing
i can't shout . Nice job. Can you please help us with screenshots like more wireframes, light setup and probably more information on the renderer used. Basically any info that will help us. don't worry about the 3 hrs of your sleepy time, you can take it out on your job

@Whalewale
Hope you're happy now?

@iukpe
Whats ur connection speed and who is your ISP. Am a COD4 player myself.

@xothermik

zpix better stop formin and post ya stuff Grin

I did am not sure what deleted the post . Anyway, i will post again tomorrow.

I never liked spline and NURBs modeling, but i think you're producing good result with it. will give it a try.

@OKX

i suggest we try n match the lighting conditions of the original- that way we have a common basis for assessment.

I agree with you on that.

I guess am not suppose to participate. My post with screenshots of my model is missing.

Wow! nice to have you guys onboard.
@OKX
nice modeling approach. it brings out the curves faster than box modeling. Please post links to your reference. it will help us. I never knew you use Maya. nice one 

@CGking
nice detailing. looks great.

z pixel, what did u do ta me?

3D voodoo. 

@codename47
Nice start. I think you nailed the basic shape already. i personally think your mesh is getting dense already, try to only add egdes to areas where needed only. keep it up

@codename47
Can't wait to see your entry.

@stiyke

you should say the deadline now, who is the judge?? is the judge allowed to post? lol sounds interesting but why devote so much time for just the right to bragging.

Has stated in my first post, its a democracy thing we all vote. You're not devoting so much time to bragging alone, you're also devoting time for others to learn and you're also learning.

The deadline is now March 30 (Monday)

@sojioguns
LOL. you really think a desktop casing is tough. besides a mobile phone it harder to model considering the amount of details involved,
i promise to introduce real price in subsequent challenges. like DVD tutorials and so on,    

@spyemy
Good to see your entry. still needs some work i guess.

@Ollyman

Guys i really want to learn something here, am a graphics artist/website designer.

Skick around, hopefully you'll learn something.

Am not sure if am allowed to participate but i will give it a try. I should probably post some work in progress this evening.

More reference has been added to the first post.

Nice one mate

Introduction

Have decided to create a platform where we 3d artists can come together to compete against which other and most importantly, to learn from each other and see other artists way of doing stuffs. Depending on the progress of this first challenge, i have plans of introducing subsequent ones.

This challenges will be WIP (Work In Progress) based to ensure everyone can learn from each other, offer feedback and critiques, each challenger is required to post work in progress images from model wireframes to textures, shader setups, lighting/rendering and final image. I really hope it will be fun and educative.

Theme

For this challenge, I've chosen something relatively simple. An Alienware computer casing, you can checkout this google link for reference http://images.google.com.ng/images?gbv=2&hl=en&q=alienware+desktop&sa=N&start=21&ndsp=21

Now am starting to enjoy the jokes, maybe we should change the name of the forum to 'Art Gallery of jokes'.
@sojioguns
Am in Abuja at the moment, but I'll be in Lagos around early April. Just send me your studio address, I'll pay you a visit.

Is this forum now a joke?

That was nicely executed. I've got a couple of technical questions for you, hope you don't mind.

- Do you guys do the voice over separately and later merge with the video or you actually have a microphone on set?
- i would have googled this question but i just felt like asking anyway. How much does the camera go for, without the other attachments (i mean the extra lens)?

Thanks.
