Modeling challenge: bottles

[Matt Sederberg]

Okay, the bottle video tutorial is now posted here:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=29806

It shows one approach of making a T-spline surface: starting with untrimmed NURBS constructed with Rhino's NURBS surfacing commands, then merging them together to create a T-spline.

Here is an entry submitted by Holger Jahns. Thanks, Holger! Very nice face layout, and nice clean design. I believe this was modeled in Silo and converted to T-Splines, correct?

Hi,

Here's my second attempt for a bottle, I tried to make it completly in Tsplines, but it took too long so I had to export what I had and continue in Lightwave. I tried to make a Coke bottle, time ended before I could complete it.

Here's a link to my tspline file

I just thought I should add a render of my Coke bottle, I didn't have time to do so last time.
I started in Tspline with a cylinder and extruded it up in segments that I scaled to match the Coke profile, then I used the thicken command to make it solid.

Okay, thanks everyone for your participation. Entries submitted after this post will not be considered for the free license, but please feel free to continue to share your modeling experiences!

I'll now pass these models over to Matt Lombard over at dezignstuff.com to judge as models brought into SolidWorks. We'll be back in touch soon.

Hi all-

here is my (late) design for a bottle - i designed a fragrance-bottle. I wrote to Matt about my problems with membership. Have fun with my work.

Who is the winner ???

[Matt Sederberg]

Hi, sorry for the delay on this! I was out of town and just got the models sent off to Matt a few hours ago. We'll have a winner posted shortly.

Thanks for all the great entries! I also got one final entry that was past the deadline, so it won't compete for the free license, but it's a great model, too. It is from Esteban Ezcurra.

Please see Matt Lombard's review of the contest at his blog here: http://www.dezignstuff.com/blog/?p=2291#more-2291

Matt chose the model by Esteban Ezcurra as the winner, but since that model was ineligible to compete for the free license (since it was submitted late), he marked the entry by Adrián Diego Galasso Sanchez as the first runner up, and consequently the winner of the free T-Splines 2.0 license. Congratulations and thanks to all who entered.

I'm interested to hear feedback on this challenge, from those who participated and those who observed. Should we do another challenge in the future? How was the format? Any suggestions on future topics?
