SMC 52: Praxinoscope

What the hell is a Praxinoscope? well its probably the nearest thing to a television in Victorian times! there is a few different styles and you will get brownie points if you can successfully animate it (BUT NOT REQUIRED AND JUST VIRTUAL EXTRA POINTS :p)

DEADLINE : January 15, 2010
VOTING: January 16 - January 21, 2010
I didnt know I was the one to start the new SMC (But it will leave some room for you to make a special end year image)

RULES:
1) Use any 3D software you choose.
2) Create the model(s) within a 2 hour time limit. It will take you little time so... Participate!
3) You may enter as many times as you wish.
4) Your entry will also include a wireframe screen grab before SDS (subdivision) has been applied. This is included to help others learn modeling techniques.
5) Include time spent, software/version and render engine used with your submission.
6) Post one render per entry at 800 x 600 pixels.
7) Render, Lighting, and Texturing are not included within the 2 hour time limit.

Post your images in this thread.

As you can see your great work will count! How could we block beautiful works just because they don't use a specific software? :mrgreen:

Yeah, Carrara 7 Pro and modeled in Hexagon, some painting in 3D - although didn't take much care with it.

Had the blurry eye today, so not sure what I messed up. heh
