Electric Shaver - Polyloop

Grendel · 10th February 2008, 03:49

Here is a quick electric shaver for my free time last night. Model in Amapi 8 & render in Carrara.

Amapi----*8------NOT FAIR!
(Is it, really, worth pining after?)
The shaver is brilliant!

Great model, Grendel!

Not sure that wood finish would last long in my bathroom though

Thomas · 10th February 2008, 10:40

very nice work on the heads of the shaver! No problems to handle the polycount?

Wim Scheenen · 10th February 2008, 11:07

I love that shaver. Just looks like the real one I got at home.

Wim

Grendel · 10th February 2008, 11:59

bwtr - Yes it is

but i think all hope is lost

ash - I know, but I wanted it to look better than carbon fiber or plastic.

Thomas - They look worse than they are(each of the head assemblies are only 50,000 and 30,000 of that are the metal blades and blade covers). Here is another close up of the blade.

Wim - Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it.

Thomas · 10th February 2008, 12:10

How long time did it take you for this model?
Thank you for the closeup!

Grendel · 10th February 2008, 13:06

About two hours, most of which was the head assemblies. The body is just a smoothed cube with some character lines and creasing so that was probably fifteen minutes. I uploaded a better render with a little highlight for the case.

Beta 8 is still alive ?

Thomas · 10th February 2008, 23:43

Pilou : the betatesters had a collector edition, without a time limit (but with a serial and efrontier have the list of the betatesters and their serial numbers associated)

Frenchy Pilou · 11th February 2008, 01:22

Blissful beta testers!

TaNoFF · 11th February 2008, 05:42

This is incredible.

How did you model something looking this complicated in 2 hours!?
I am impressed. Great work!

Grendel · 11th February 2008, 11:32

Thanks but it looks more complicated than it is and I only made one shaver head, the others are copies.

Locki · 11th February 2008, 15:46

I supposed you've used multiple level of copies :
- 1st level : multiply one blade along a cicular path to build one head,
- 2nd level : copy-cloning for the three heads,
haven't you ?
I didn't know Amapi was able to handle so many elements. Haven't tested yet

Grendel · 11th February 2008, 20:57

The heads were based off a circle that was extruded out, some cuts were added to define the contours. Then an alternating pattern of polygons were selected and deleted to allow whiskers to pass through to the blades underneath. The blades were based off a cylinder with alternating extrusions on the cylindrical faces.

Locki · 12th February 2008, 07:04

Thx a lot, Grendel.

markbremmer · 13th February 2008, 15:34

Very nice!

Grendel · 13th February 2008, 15:58

Thanks Mark

I am doing several versions of the scene with three packages Carrara, C4D, and Modo. I'll then post each of them to get feedback on the best one.

3webjam · 15th February 2008, 09:33

The detailing of the blades would drive me nuts - my goodness, there is so much going on in these small parts! Incredible!
Can't believe that you can do that in one evening...! Does this mean we will see more work from you here......? Just teasing!
