    Ultimaker Hero Design Contest

    That already looks great, which “page” are these models intended for, the “Products Page “ like StudioSpass did?

    Do you think you can keep up with that pace to finish the other 7 pages in the same quality but with different models / themes in only 3 day?

    I wanted to enter too, but i'm not sure if it's already to late to enter, with only 3 days left?

     

    Thanks Sebastian! I am planning on doing as much as I can within the next couple days, but I will include a link to my portfolio as well, to support my submissions here on the forum.

    From how I understand the first phase requirements, Ultimaker is looking for "sketches" of what we intend to do in the second phase of the competition.

    I intend to put in a lot more detail and character in the models the second phase if I make it that far.

    SpaceSketch 01

    Here is where I am at right now with my submission. I thought it would be fun to explore the space theme that StudioSpass included in their pdf document.

    The elements in this image are still in the early sketchy/ idea phase (lot's more detail and story elements to come). I wanted to get as much down as quickly as possible in my 3d software. I still need to include the other elements (U.F.O., meteor, satellite,and planet) in the little narrative...still working on those.

    My goal is to tell a story that juxtaposes old technology with new technology, rapid prototyping with other slower methods (that's why the aliens are slugs right now). Words that I'm trying to keep in mind while designing are Fun, Whimsical, and Kid Friendly.

    The idea is that the astronaut is exploring new worlds. A pretty common theme, but I think appropriate for the 3d printing community. We are all "exploring" and discovering new ways to create with this relatively new technology (3d printing).

    While I was sculpting these little character, I thought it would be so cool if we could make a little stop motion animation with them at some point in the future!

    I would love to get everyone's feedback! Thanks!

    I thought the 8 teams were related to the pages, not the things StudioSpass came up with?

    Also, I don;t think they will be printed and photographed, it's the artwork itself going up the site right?

     

    From how the original post reads, it looks like the ultimate goal is to have real 3d printed objects in front of and around Ultimaker's new 3d printers. They want to showcase the quality of prints from the new printers and the skill of the artist in their community. They have already been working with a creative agency (StudioSpass) to come up with a promotional campaign. Within this campaign will be 8 "hero shots"... "Ultimaker will use those files during photoshoots for online content. "

    I could create some nicely lit and composed renders during the second and third phase of the competition though :)

    Sounds like an awesome opportunity to get your artwork featured!

    I am really excited that Ultimaker places such a high value on original artwork.

     

    I'm looking forward to submitting my ideas!

     

    From what I understand the Creative Brief to be:

     

    Ultimaker is requesting unique and original 3d print ready artwork centered around 8 themes (already created by StudioSpass) such as "An U.F.O., a large rocket, a meteor, a satellite and a planet."

    Ultimaker wants to tell a compelling story with each of the 8 3d printed themes/scenes. The 8 themes will be printed by Ulitmaker and photographed by StudioSpass.

     

    Please let me know if I understand correctly :)

     

    Thanks so much!
