Sci-fi Room Challenge WIP-A Space Bar

Contests and Challenges

Have no idea what this is going to look like, but I am thinking of curvy shapes...

Making a start with things I know will have to be there...

First a test design for a table:

    Have been playing with room shapes and how to make them. Ain't got the final shape yet, but got a technique to relatively easy modeling something like this:

  • Vue Thao(euv) replied

    Me like shiny.

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Just having some fun with curved surfaces:

    Maybe something like this for the room:

    ...and a first peek inside:

    I know, the table still needs some thickness, but a Solidify Modifier doesn't give the desired result, so I'll have to re-model it (that's easy enough, but I'll save that for when I get stuck).

    Its already looking very futuristic spikeyxxx 

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Some 'paneling' done and I didn't like the door; will have to re-visit that....maybe a window, or a screen or so would fit better..

    Cool furniture design spikeyxxx! It might not have a name yet, but it does have character!

  • spikeyxxx replied

    'Fixed' the table with chairs:

    Was a lot trickier than I had expected (no wonder the Solidify Modifier couldn't handle this...), but I am really happy with the result :)

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Maybe not a door, but a doorway:

    I kinda like that, I think...

  • adrian replied

    That looks great spikeyxxx , maybe there are no doors in the future, maybe only a force field.

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Could it be a space bar:

    ?

  • Ingrid Frank(Fide) replied

    This could absolutely be a space bar!

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Thinking about how they will serve drinks in the future. They will no longer have brands, just different kinds of liquids. Maybe using a construction like this (just a 3D 'sketch' of how it might look):

    This would mean that drinks are not served by robots, which they have probably tried (in Japan they already have robots making and serving pour-over coffee!), but it wasn't a success; people still want to pour their hearts out to the bar staff ;)

    Looking really cool - can't wait to see the lighting set up! 


    For the doorway / forcefield, you could show forcefield "beams" going across - a lot of fun to be had with lighting/in the compositor there! 

  • adrian replied

    Exactly spikeyxxx ,

    Bar staff are more than just servers of drinks, they are also psychiatrists, thankfully they only charge by the drink and not by the hour. 🤣

  • Sébastien Lenaerts(slenaerts) replied

    Nice! Don't forget the "bell" for the round for the house!  


    Oh and I'll have mine stirred, not shaken (:

    Small update with a different Matcap:

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Made same 'niches' behind the bar for glasses, coffee machine, etc....and some minor visual improvements on the bar itself:

    That's probably all for today: time to enjoy the nice, sunny weather :)

  • Angela (amblender) replied

    looks great, makes you want to have a nice night out in the space bar

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Thanks Angela :)

    And with your Tardis, you can make sure to get there at happy hour...actually, it doesn't even matter if you haven't finished before the deadline, because you can always finish later and then travel back in time to make the deadline ;)
