January, 2007: Tunnel

[A.Alvarez]

Ok, so here we go again! :)
This month's theme is the Tunnel...

Clearly open to interpretation, this could be something natural, organic, architectural, macro, micro and so on. Good luck everyone.
Deadline is Jan 31st.

edit:

Ok, here are the winners! Some really beautiful work in this thread, and many of these deserve to be seen much higher res than what's posted here, so be sure to browse through the thread to find them! Thanks to everyone for participating.

Well This is the third month, I do not find many trying 3d compared to 2d work..

I am gonna participate this time with a render from zbrush- a 5D painting

{3d + 2d}:)

Last month I was bit busy and started work for the contest in the last week, hope to start work on it sooner this time .....

Best Of luck everyone:D

[warlord]

Hi all.....
my first post on these forums..........
this is something I whipped up in maya and zbrush. Eenvironment was modelled in maya, creature made in zbrush, combined lit and rendered in maya, then overpainted in zbrush again. wasnt too sure if this should be in the 2d catagory ????? as its not "entirely" 3d.
happy to move it to the 2d section if thats the case......anyway here goes.
its kina what you wouldnt want to find at the end of a tunnel.
could be titled..........
"DAVE DIDNT ENJOY THE EFFECTS OF SUB SPACE TRAVEL"

Hey guys this is my very first post. This is the hobbits tunnel (http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/256500/256500_1169732890_medium.jpg).I cant wait for next months.

[Pafl3a]

hey .. nice one .. but where is the Tunnel ? i cont see it . ... oooo is behaind the littles doors ? under that tree?

[3dGypsy]

There are a couple of entries that don't actually show a tunnel. I got the idea from the book The Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien. The beginning of the books reads, ?It had a perfectly round door like porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel?.? If its not exceptable, its cool, but we shall meet again next month non the less.
Apresto;)

[zergcow]

just wondering when this contest ends? 31st? I made sortof an old in the mountains tunnel. not the best but i just started 3-d last week. anyways its at school right now so i have to wait till next week to submit it.

So far i love the DvDs i bought from this site even though i am on the second of 5 and it wont play on my computer. (its the creature head modeling one for maya) I got me 5 dvds to start me off in maya and we use cinima 4d at school. so i am diving head first into this 3-d stuff (i have 4 years of sculpting classes to help though). I could really use some more DvDs and plan on submitting an entry each month to win me some more :)

Dear Pafi3a; don't be a douche. If someone's entry is too good for you, making negative comments about it is only gonna make it obviuos to the rest. Just put your entry in and let the judges decide.

[Pafl3a]

Dear "klumsyk": i'm not a douche. i don't judge any1 work. i see "3dGypsy" like a little the simple abstract style, in fact is a positive comment, i wish to publish my work but for 3 days i collect/sellect my files from PC for ReBoot.

Hi everybody !!!!
here is my "space tunnel" entrie.

Only my space sky and the final compositing are done with photoshop.... the rest of the image (tunnel, planets, asteroids, space ships etc, lights, textures and renders) is in 3D (MAYA).
Usually I don't like lens flare photoshop FX but in this case for the space environement I think it works good.
Here is 2 versions of the final illustration .... hope you like it.

C&C welcome.

I was going for a bright and happy lighting effect. I'm still learning Maya so this entry was done using Blender

Hello All:) ,
It's my try. It inspired by Giger, Moebius, Druillet and a little bit of Neil Blevins too!
All textures are generated with procedurals.
Hope you will like it..
Maybe there's the secret of life at the end of the tunnel...Who knows.
Update Contrast color....must check my monitor....

Hi everyone!

This is my first post in this forum, and hopefully there will be more to come.
I decided to join this month contest, I really liked the possibilities of the concept.

My idea was to create a very humid tunnel, where the light played an important element. I did several 3d passes with XSI, and finally comped it with Photoshop

I also took the time to create a pass breakdown:

Let me know what you guys think!

These are robots cleaning out the arteries to the heart to prevent blockage. Which if blocked would cause a heart attack. They have a laser that heats up the fat build-up. The two front arms scrap the walls of the artery then shoot back over the top, fling the fat up to be carried away by the bloods current. It would be a painless operation.

Wait an minute , i looked at all pages in this thread to make sure im not crazy , where were all those winners entry on the thread ?, there are only 4 pages of posts.i dont see none of them can anyone explain this ?

[gilberteaz]

They combine the 2d and 3d images for the contest. The other images are in the 2d thread. I noticed they didn't pick a single 3d image. Maybe they forgot about the 3d thread?

[A.Alvarez]

Hiya... we didn't forget...

But we are thinking about separating 2D + 3D into the future with different themes for each, as it is clear that while 2D artists can execute a finished piece in a matter of hours, 3D is an entirely different beast. While the February contest will follow the same rules, for March we will likely switch. With that said, several 3D entries made it to the last round of selections and I wish that we could give prizes to everyone... thanks again to everyone who participated. :)
