Speed arch modeling. How?

[Paul Oblomov]

Heh, what a discussion...
It takes me several hours to guess the dimensions if there's no any. So I take Realviz Imagemodeler (love this prog.), importing at least 3 images, placing markers, to calibrate camera - and voila... Now I can say - modelling really easy thing, but only when you know dimensions.
But - it still differs from my high-poly experience. These damn boxes arrrrgr

True, if your going by eye it would take longer.. of course. Even still.. easily under 2 days.. under one day.. most likely as well.

I was gleeing thinking i was the only one to be considering it a half-day job.
Illusion dispelled, thanks daforce.

Want a speed modeling trial ?

May raise the Challenge section from the deep winter sleep.
How about that !

Set something up Nikki

Definitely, no more than a couple of hours using Mudbox.

yeah a day in acad with the aid of lisp. 2-3 days if you're bumming around surfing the web instead of working.

Set something up Nikki

Will think of something, indeed. That would be fun.

Something Like:
A specific topic, 1 week for doing it, then submitting the images, voting.

Prices: Fame and honour + some beers when we meet one day.

All in the mood of having fun, just in some little brakes between the
dull office work of every one.

How about that ???

Couldnt have put it better myself

[studioDIM]

mmmh.
Rendering involves computing power.
I'm WAY behind normal people just now.
Modelling only would be a lot more level for me :P

Sounds like this topic would best suit the challenge section.
I recon that model could be done in half a day no problem ... it looks pretty simple.

[Paul Oblomov]

And even if you were given only two not big perspective photos ?

[natty]

Hi Paul

we model stuff from photo's all the time .. so i guess practise makes perfect.

[jacksc02]

a challenge would be good!

[travistlo]

You should seriously check our modo for arch poly modeling.

I probably can model that less than 2 hours with modo. The macros in modo are wonderful for Arch modeling.

(but im sure rhino can do alot of the same, I Hate max/viz poly modeling, its so primitive.)

[DaForce]

Less than 2 hours hey... that I would love to see... even for modo that seems abit extravagent

[percydaman]

you guys are gonna speed model yourselves out of work. We should be saying itll take a week, no less, to do that.

[natty]

lol ... we do to the clients !
