WHAT!!!??? u post a lot on others threads and nothing new here!!??:shame: na na na na na Dont be lazy!Kmon!UPPADATE!:scream: he he he.....seeya!

[visualboo]

hehe.... I'm workin I'm workin :D

Actually I have a ton of ideas and I'm just sketchin my arse off. This challenge is gonna be cool.

What about a.... uhhh.... ...... .... gas powered flying toilet :D

[OZ]

The quetion is.....WHAT KIND OF GAS?????........hi hi hi hi hi hi ...hem.....the effect of the beer ...sorry.:p

[visualboo]

WHAT KIND OF GAS?????

Oh, you know...... methane :D

[jeroentje]

Allright! Go ahead and just model the thing!
Make something original, something no-one has seen before!!!

Could be extremely funny. A flying toilet... low camera angle, guy with his pants on his feet, concentrating on reading a paper and looking like he hasn't noticed a thing...

[fellah]

argh! you must be kidding.. I thought I was the only one with that idea :sad:

I don't think your's will look like mine anyway though ;)

goodLuck :thumbsup:

[visualboo]

haha.... go for it fellah :buttrock:

I'm still brainstorming (fun part :) )

[erilaz]

Well, the toilet is the best place for brainstorming! (It's true!). Go for it!:D

[visualboo]

Well, I had an idea for this weird little contraption thingy where the little pilot would sit in it and paddle away like on the old ships with all the people below paddleing. On my paper concept I have a ton of things and little doo dads on the ship, just not on this PS version. I was also toying with the front of it being a big glass window but ila-solomon's concept is really close to that, so.....

I'm scraping this idea. I think I am going to do the toilet thing. :shrug:

[visualboo]

Here's where I was going with the pilot idea. Mice and photoshop dont mix very well :)

[visualboo]

Guess nobody likes this idea :shrug: I wish I could scan my concept.

Here's what I was talking about. You guys think I should continue with this thing or go for the flying toilet (gas powered of course)?

[visualboo]

First of the controls. *homer voice* windshield... mmmmmmmmmm

[funnydoodle]

i found ur model kinda neat but the flying toilet's idea would be more interesting to me... wouldn't mind u choose either one... they are cool... ur pilot idea's wings look like my A&B wings too.... hmm..... if u seen mine then u'll know what im talking about.... lol... anyway, keep it up!

[fellah]

this one looks cool, but it also looks to "simple"(not a bad thing at all!) butit feels like you'll finish it way to fast. maybe go for something more advanced and really challenge yourself.

I still think you should go with the toilet so our 2 toiletGuys can have a race in the end ;)

keep on working :wip:

[visualboo]

I wish I could scan my concept because there's a LOT of stuff I was gonna do to this. Oh well I kinda agree with the 'challenge' part. :thumbsup:

I still think you should go with the toilet so our 2 toiletGuys can have a race in the end
Them sound like fightin words!! :D

BRING IT!!

[jeroentje]

Visualboo, your bubble with wings looks really nice, but I think, that even how technically amazing it will be modelled, in the end it will still look like a lot of other entries. Go with the toilet thing.

Do you mind if I post you a little suggestion?

[visualboo]

in the end it will still look like a lot of other entries. Go with the toilet thing.
I am :bounce:

Do you mind if I post you a little suggestion?
Go for it. I won't break :D

[jeroentje]

Okay... my personal opinion towards the rules (towards any rule); see what's in it. Do that. Bend everything else to be original.
Nobody said anything about the pilot actually being inside the flying device ;)

[visualboo]

hahahaha.... that's funny as hell. Might have to update the title of my thread to say everything ;)

Well, here's what I have so far. The rocket part (the metal bowl) I think I'm going to change just because it's a little to much like fellah's.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Hmmm, are gas tanks good on that place. Two different gasses, is that going well.


Good work, keep on going

[jeroentje]

LOL don't forget the flushing system :thumbsup:

[visualboo]

Hmmm, are gas tanks good on that place. Two different gasses, is that going well.
no it's all just methane :D Those are just resevoir tanks.

jeroentje: who flushes anyway

[jeroentje]

Oh well. If it's a good place to hide a bottle of scotch, it could also be a good place to hide several bottles of gas ;)
And don't try to be too technicaly correct. As mentioned before; who cares if it works? Toiletbowls can not fly anyway :)
(They can explode, flud, smell, stick to your behind... but they cannot fly)

jeroentje :beer: & lots of 'm

[fellah]

hah :cool: that one won't stand a chance agains my guys tolietRocket :cool:
my guy have TWO engines! he has fuel coming from both sides if you know what I mean ;)

really nice start on the model though! hm, I think I will add a couple of secret weapons on my toilet, just to be on the safe side for the race ;)

keep working :wip:

[robertp]

you understand that if you make sure that is a port-a-poddy you wouldnt need the gas tanks. the gas is supplied. all you really need is the storage unit below the toliet then a small vent with a cap that allows you to light a match when you need to go somewhere.

great concept loved the first idea and this one is even better.

keep it up:surprised

rob:D

[visualboo]

fellah: Your goin down man :buttrock: I gots all kinds of goodies up my sleeves :buttrock: Just gotta find the time.

rob: Consider the tanks like rechargeable batteries..... but with methane ;) Thanks for the compliments btw. Keeps me perked up :bounce:

[robertp]

well as long as they are storage then it should work great. What is the recharge time on something like that?

Rob:D

ps- I would enjoy seeing a finally image for this challenge like the one posted above. Great action and perspective.

[visualboo]

Very small update.
Still got lots to come, just didn't have much time at all :(

[visualboo]

haha.... that's such a week update :) I have a race tomorrow (saturday) but sunday, hopefully I'm free. Updates galore :D

[funnydoodle]

hey u changed ur idea! and this is better of course.... maybe u can make parts of the vehicle a lil broken.... remember imperfection creates perfection

[fellah]

hehehe, nice "Gas" ;)
I agree with funnydoodle about the imperfections. but I'm sure you've already thought about that.

I have a race tomorrow
cheater, no training until the end of this month ;) okok I will stop now :rolleyes:

work work work :wip:

[rok]

Just dropped in on this thread.

I´m glad to see that you changed from that bubble flyer of yours. As someone mentioned it has been done a lot of times before. My first thought was that it was the flying thingie from the XSI promo (had to check some old mags) it wasn´t :beer:

[jcmkk]

It's starting to really shape up. I like the concept. Their are so many funny things that you can add to a toilet. I just kept looking at your name and thinking visualpoo ;)

[visualboo]

funnydoodle: Yes indeed. All the details will come when I get all the main parts finished. Basically after I finish blocking stuff in.

fellah: working working working :) :wip:

rok: haha, yeah they do seem similar don't they :beer:

jcmkk: lmao, you crazy crazy man. Thanks btw.

See you guys tomorrow :wip:

[bentllama]

A testicle with wings and putrid gasses...brilliant! :)

[Montparnasse]

the first one, me too, I thought immediately, I know more or less exactly that thing from somewhere....

...but a flying toilet...ummmh...do you make a pilot, too?

Greetings
Montparnasse:buttrock:

[Aearon]

lol even if this is a bit illusionary...

wouldn't it be a great idea to make a small animation with some of the best flying machines in this challenge (if some artists agree to give their models into the hands of other members)

this would certainly be great publicity for the upcoming challenge site, and i think some collaborative work is ALWAYS a good thing in so many ways

this idea came to me when reading about the toilet race, so please don't slap me for being off-topic =)

if there are people out there who like the idea please PM me and i'll open a thread in the general discussion forum and maybe talk to a mod about it :D

[visualboo]

Bentllama: haha… you weird weird man. Get your butt in on this challenge dood. :buttrock:

Montparnasse: “pilot too?” possibly, I wasn’t really in the mood for another character this month so I don’t know. ;) Hopefully

Fist: Might be cool, I’ll have to think about that when I get closer to being finished.

Maybe I shoud make the flame blue considering the gas at hand :D

[visualboo]

I think I'm going to do the scene that jeroentje drew up. Sooooo, here's the outhouse. My dillemma is that the toilet I made doesn't fit an outhouse. It's more like the toilet you would find in a house. Hmmmm.... gotta do some brainstorming about that.

[jeroentje]

Yes! Yes! Yes! :bounce:
Cool start, but it doesn't need a roof then ;)

Cheers, jeroentje :beer: (no Smirnoff Ice smilie?)
(btw, was it clear that the kid was holding a fly-by-remote?)

[visualboo]

Cool start, but it doesn't need a roof then
hehehe I was planning on an animation after I finish and I thought it would be cool to have the roof blast off when he blows though it ;)

btw, was it clear that the kid was holding a fly-by-remote?)
:D looked more like a spatula for flippin burgers :) Thought I would leave that guy out of the scene though :shrug:

What do you think about the toilet fitting in with the scene? hmmm.

[MikaelPersson]

I want to see the race. I can imagine those two old men sitting infront of each other staring angrily at each other. Then blasting of. The smell would probably kill bystanders though.

[OZ]

Haaaa it reminds me shrek!GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i love it!! ha ha ha ha ha....what u attach to it!WINGS! ENGINES! i repeat GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[freemind77]

yes , shrek was cool , i like it too your toilet booth rocks:bounce:

[fellah]

looks good so far, nice planks! but there are some important features missing imo, check this image:
http://slt.ath.cx/~fellah/toilets.jpg
the things on the left is very important if you wan't to be able to open\close the door :)
and the 'Z' thing, it's cool to have planks holding together the rest of the planks. maybe your's is on the inside?

just a couple of ideas.. btw, I guess there ain't gonna be a race now, hum? :sad:

anyway, work work work :wip:

[visualboo]

Mikael: Yea, I'll talk to fellah and see when we get these done if he wants to get a comp goin with both of our final models in one image.

-OZ-: haha, the outhouse is only the "launchpad". lol the real A&B model is going to be the toilet on page 2 (I think).

freemind77: Thanks bud

fellah: Ahh, tons of thanks man. Good reference, The only difference is that those look pretty current. I'm kind of shooting for a authentic outhouse look. Great points though. I was going to add the horizontal boards on the inside. Oh the hinges... I wonder what the old ones looked like. I tried looking for some reference but I came up with nothing. Hmmm?.
just a couple of ideas.. btw, I guess there ain't gonna be a race now, hum?
Oh no... it's still on. :D I'm just doing more than the toilet. :wip:

[OZ]

WAAAI HAD NOT SEEN IT! U ARE CRAAAZY!!!!GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Ragnakim]

Your going great visualboo!!! :thumbsup: love that modeling!! :bounce: soooo.... tel me... hehehe is that vray your using heheh!! :p common!! u can tell mu your old chinese secret!! :cool: Love that W.C.!! :D put the Z ont the door!! eheheheh

[visualboo]

update on the outhouse :thumbsup: added all cross beams and hinges. Oh and a little cement launch pad :) and a few blades of grass, uhhh and oh the toilet is in the scene now. It's just a place holder for now though.

[visualboo]

Same thing... door closed

[visualboo]

-OZ-: :buttrock: :airguitar :buttrock:

Ragnarok: hehe, thanks man. "Love that W.C.!!" huh? It wouldn't be a ancient chinese secret if I told ya though would it. ohhhh ok............... nope can't ;)

[espaki]

Ha! this one is going to be great! I can already see the animation. Great modeling job so far, no crits. Some bump maps would be nice on the outhouse, but I'm sure you will get to that stuff later.:buttrock:

-Nate

[jeroentje]

RMAOLOL :buttrock:
Visual WHO? Visual YOU!!! :beer:

[freemind77]

LOL , modeling such things like toilet for this challenge is crazy , you are mad LOL , i love it and glad you added these hinges:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SimonReeves]

ooooooo very impressed so far
really like the first idea actually

but i spose toilet is pretty nice :)

:shrug:

[rok]

Quite embarrased to nitpick but...

What first caught my eyes looking at the shed, was that the planks on the roof run the wrong way. You´re obviously not going for that ultra realistic finish, so maybe that´s not even an issue.

Doing a lot of carpenting myself I imagined that roof on a heavy raining day - lots of water inside the shed. I understand though that the shed is merely a launching (dumping :thumbsup: ) pad for the porcelain rocket :airguitar.

Excellent idea and an even greater job realising it. :buttrock:

[visualboo]

jeroentje: "RMAOLOL"? haha havent seen that one dood :D ??? :surprised c'mon concept guru, what's floatin through the noggin for a toilet. Any ideas? I just want a more cartoony toilet than my everyday plain toilet I got goin on now. *fellah may not read beyond this point* Plus look at fellah's toilet.... that thing is sweet *ok fellah, you can read again*

freemind77: "you are mad" hehe, thanks... I'll take that as a compliment

reeves1984: Yeah, I was kinda diggin the first one too but I guess nobody was into it :shrug: Thanks btw

rok: Ahh, good point except if you want to get technical then even if they were the other way water would still get in (maybe a bit less though). Nice observation though :thumbsup:

[jeroentje]

LOTFROL
Hm... in Holland we have an expression "Racekak" for diarieah(spelled?) "Racingshit", translated...

Shall I continue my thoughts?

[visualboo]

LOTFROL? Lots Of Tiny Flies Running On Lettuce? :buttrock: The only long one I know is ROTFLMAO :shrug:

"Shall I continue my thoughts?" Sure.... if you like :D :D

[SimonReeves]

FDSROFL

fall down stairs roll on floor larfing

yey

[jeroentje]

Okay, but it will be pilot-powered... and rather disgusting.
COLWHAOF (Crying Out Loud With His Ass On Fire)

[jeroentje]

Okay, here you go than. I warned you.

Picture an enormous overweighted redheaded Elvis Presley, in his white jumpsuit, finally being able to crap out his peanutbutter and banana sandwiches to make the toilet fly out of the outhouse by explosive diareah...

Howabout that? Funny? Tasteless, yes. But howabout it?

[rok]

Yeah and then some freak come running with a lawsuit. Can´t disgrace the King :buttrock:

Well seriously. Funny as it might seem, some people actually take such things pretty serious - flamewars etc.

Good idea tho.

Rok - Jailhouse Rok that is :airguitar

[jeroentje]

But I am drawing now... Let Visualboo decide...

[robertp]

visualboo,
Great job so far. It could be a problem as far as the toliet not fitting into the outside shack. If anything you can still put a hole in the ground of the shack with exaust ports coming out of the ground at a 45 degree angle. So that way the BLAST from the inital start up of the rocket wouldnt blow down the shack. I think that it doesnt matter if the toliet fits. Just keep this idea going.

rob:D

[visualboo]

Oh sorry, I guess I should have made myself clear. I mean the style of the two doesn't fit.

[visualboo]

LMAO..... jeroentje drew this for me

*edit* Maybe I should have waited and let Jeroen post that :shrug: sorry

[BgDM]

LMFAO (Laugh My F*&$IN A$$ OFF).

This idea kicks ass. I love it. Keep on! :buttrock:

BgDM

PS: I especially love the "Flying Elvis"

[bentllama]

Thank yah...thank yah verrrry much!

Visualboo, it was late here and I went to bed, so who cares?

Elvis has left the building...
jeroentje

[el diablo]

this concept reminds me of a buddies tattoo. Elvis sitting on a toilet the only difference is that Elvis had bunny slippers and he was dead.....el diablo

3D Chop Shop (http://www.3dchopshop.com)

[jeroentje]

Can you post the tattoo?
(All you'll need is a big knife, a pack of cleanex and a scanner...)

[Ragnakim]

I have just one word for you...... LOL!!!! :D

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :applause:

LOL and again LOL...can i have the drawing as my wallpaper? haha very good!!!

[visualboo]

uhhh... OK, I just realized that all my last comments were gone since that crash. Here we go again :)

bentllama: au huh!

jeroentje: Elvis has deffinitely left the building :D

el diablo: That's actually kinda gross ;)

jeroentje: Even grosser

Ragnarok: :buttrock:

DimitrisLiatsos: jeroentje, that one's for you :)

[visualboo]

damn forgot the update on the terlet :D I need to start making use of some more house hold items. Oh that's a simple "FIRE" button btw.

Enter the terlet:

[jeroentje]

...and to complete this restauration:

Do you know these toilets, where the watertank(?) hangs above your head? You could make the cord to flush it the start-button/cord/thing. Makes more sense on a toilett than a button.
Cheers a lot :beer:

[visualboo]

ahh, sounds cool. I cant for the life of me think I've seen one of those toilets though. hmmmm

Wouldn't the tank be in the way for the launch though? He might have to wear a helmet :D

[eirenicon]

Looks to me like a suicide toilet bomber :D

It's just crazy enough to work. Rock on man :thumbsup:

[fellah]

wohooo! great job, I like the new "toilet remoteControll"! great sketches there to, by "jeroentje"?

btw, I see you choosed blue color for your gas, hm.. which color does "gas" have in reality? I've thought about that for my character.. hm.. I'll have to make an experiment I think :)

work work work :wip:

[jeroentje]

Here's what I mean.
Sorry 4 the crappy sketch, I timed it at 3min47sec ;)
Cheers, jeroentje :beer: :insane:

[visualboo]

timothyD: haha.... MUST GET MORE POWER!!!!

fellah: awww c'mon... we all know you've tried :D It's blue btw :airguitar I think it depends on the velocity though :D

jeroentje: ahh hah... I see. Actually now that I think about it I think I have seen those before. Great idea btw. haha.. I just noticed you have the "skid mark cleaner" in that sketch.

[freemind77]

hehe farting gas is kinda cool and funny idea for engine :) mmm very nice execution of idea btw its color when burning is dependant on kind of food IMHO :):bounce:

[visualboo]

btw its color when burning is dependant on kind of food IMHO
HAHAHAH

I thought I would try and give it a more cartoony feeling so I applied a couple FFD's and tweaked a bit. What do you guys think? I still need to work on the flusher too.

[jeroentje]

Yes. This is the "Poopmaster2000"

Btw, Elvis is on every TV channel here at the moment... is he been dead for 50 years or something? I thought he was alive and living at the North Pole, next to Santa and the Easterbunny?

[jeroentje]

You sneaked that in when I was typing ;)

Cool! Maybe put the tank a bit to the front for a better balanced design.

Peanutbutter and banana burns yellow/orange. Peanutbutter has a lot of oil in it so burns like hell. (You can make a car run on peanut oil, did you know that?).

[Baal]

joerentje: actually, people say that today (the 16th) is the 25th anniversary or Elvis' death, but you're right, he's living at the North Pole with Santa, the Easter Bunny AND Marylin Monroe :)

visualboo: GREAT work with the 'cartoon' toilet, I LOVE :love: it! Keep us updated, please please please!

[jeroentje]

I just saw a movie about him. That is a strange life for only one man. He was pretty cool in the 50's and early 60's though.

Anyway, Visualboo, will you model an Elvis for this throne?
I got a bit lost between all the replies you got and the dead server and all... :shrug:

[visualboo]

Baal: Thanks man.... Will do :thumbsup:

jeroentje: "will you model an Elvis for this throne?"
Ummm... I'm gonna try. I want to at least finish all I have in mind for this stuff first.

Been really busy with a bunch of real life stuff though, Not all this "all for fun, but no profit" crazyness :D

Here's a small update:

[visualboo]

same thing different angle :)

[edit] Updated pic

[visualboo]

Even though I only have like 4 hours (actually working... not surfing ;) ) in this so far, I'm gonna switch gears and start on the pilot. I want to at least get him blocked in before the end. :wip:

This is pretty much where I am at this point...

[bentllama]

Craptastic.

[visualboo]

Such a well thought out comment ;) lol

Actually kinda whitty if you think about it :D

[muckywetnoodle]

Aha, read your first post about your puter taking a poop and then clicked on the last page to see your model. :) Funny stuff.

[mv]

really cool style. This vehicle could be the start of a short animation film... someone accidentaly goes on another planet after flushing in a camping toilet :)

[visualboo]

muckywetnoodle: huh? you didn't read pages 2,3 and 4? :shame: :D

m@: Thanks man. Could be cool.

[fellah]

I really dig the "cartoon transform" you made on the toilet, much better!
but there's something missing on the outhouse.. nails!!!

hehehe, keep working :wip:

[Russo]

whaaaahahahahahahhahahahahhaa very comic :buttrock:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
thx!!! ..keep 'em coming....:bounce: :thumbsup:

[visualboo]

fellah: Yeah, I kinda dig it too. Dont worry, I've got a few "things" up my sleeves so watch out ;)

Russo: :buttrock: :airguitar

DimitrisLiatsos: Thanks for what? :) sorry, been busy and trying to have a social life with my spare time (something I never do :shrug: ). I'll update soon though.

[Soeren Nielsen]

lol cool stuff Visualboo.. jeroentje has a very twisted mind, who do you think drew the hair on my avatar ... yup you got it, jeroentje ;) .. keep it going, love it

[visualboo]

Thanks Soeren. Yeah, Jeroen's quite the sketch monster isn't he :D

[erilaz]

I never thought a toilet could look so good!! (Except for that time I went camping for two weeks and only had the bushland and a small spade!):D

I love this model! Will there be spiders in there?:eek:

[Joebount]

:thumbsup: but where is the paper ?

[visualboo]

ahh, good point :thumbsup: I don't know if he's gonna be able to use it on this toilet though :D

[CactusJack]

hehe...:buttrock:

[fellah]

update update update :wip: we're all waiting for you visualboo!

btw, I've got an idea for you, put some beans in the watertank :cool: ;)

[leigh]

TWO flying toilets??!! :surprised :surprised :surprised
Sorry, I'm only catching up on this challenge now...

[OZ]

:bounce: can i take a try fly?:bounce:

he he he ROX ON MAN he he he:thumbsup:

[visualboo]

CactusJack: :buttrock:

fellah: sorry bud, I've been slackin with my spare time :shrug: I've still got a couple ideas up my sleeves though ;)

btw, the beans idea is all yours. That was in your thread

Leigh: Great minds think alike :D

-OZ-: hehehe, right after ELVIS

I should have an update today..... hopefully.

[CactusJack]

Great...can't wait!!!

[visualboo]

Here's a small update. Since the challenge is on the "ship", I borrowed a model from Stipen. Elvis :D

Sorry for the crappy test render, I was working on the scene and only managed to get that out before I ran into some problems :( sooo.. now I have to trouble shoot that stuff.

Elvis... enter stage left>

[mv]

:applause:

[fellah]

cool thing you got to borrow that model from stipen, I thought for a while that there wouldn't be any Elvis character, but now I'm happy :)

[visualboo]

I have a lot coming I just need to get these problems sorted out... quick

[Zardoz]

LOL! this is one of the best concepts i've seen here! way cool!
After all Elvis lives! And still uses the toilet like the rest of us...

[MikaelPersson]

lol. I am waiting for a closeup of his face when he is about to kickstart that engine.

[visualboo]

HAHAHAHA... ROTFLMAO

on the todo list :)

[stipen]

HHAHAAHAAAHHAAA !!!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My poor Little Elvis!!! Haha !! LOL

[visualboo]

Here's a shot of the "pilot" for the people who haven't been to Stipens site.

Still trouble shootin.... btw.

[bentllama]

Your pilot's name should be:

Hoo Flung Poo: A "Crappy" Elvis Impersonator

[jeroentje]

Yeah, I had seen that Elvis of Stipen a while ago. Really cool King :buttrock:

I just accidentaly did another one (it turned out to be Elvis just along the way) http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=171631#post171631

[visualboo]

Nate, why don't you post some 2d. You rock at that stuff.... just admit it :)

[jeroentje]

Who's Nate?

[visualboo]

:) bentllama

[jeroentje]

Oh NATE?! Yes offcourse.
