Model/Texture/Render Challenge: Promotional

Alright Ladies & Gents, it's time for the next challenge.

I thought i'd take things a fair way away from the previous challenges that have been mainly focused towards animation and VFX.

This time, I thought it would be a good idea to have a go at something that could be equally, if not more important in a portfolio than character animation or effects, even if they are the positions you are looking in a job application.

This challenge will involve you doing the following:

1) Modelling a product ( You can choose any product you want, be it a ring, a watch, a shirt, a camera, a bar of soap, a nose hair trimmer, a digital camera, a can of coke, a mars bar, a book, a turtle, a mobile phone, a set of saucepans, a car, a helicopter, a tank, a monkey, an island e.t.c, anything really )

2) Texturing your product ( Go for realism here )

3) Lighting + Rendering your product ( This is probably the major step, the idea of this challenge is to produce a piece of work that you could submit to a company for their promotional campaigns, be it television, website advertising, ebay, store placement e.t.c.
Pretend that said company has just contracted you to create a 3d representation of their product to be used in such advertising media. )

etc )

you didnt tell me you were mind reader camy boy. its a pitty i cant enter coz i get back on the 2nd of july . but im sure you will have an even better challenge by then. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

What size of image for this?

An animation would of been nice too, like a signature for a comercial just showing the product.

But one image I'm definetly in.

But you should consider the signature idea for future challenges cause that is another good thing in a folio.

Hey mates! 14 entries till now. Great challenge.

I gotta say something...

HOLY MOLY
