About Construct8or...

Construct8or is a 100% free 3d model construction system comprising re-usable metal strips, plates, angle, girders, wheels, axles and with nuts and bolts to connect the pieces.

An Idea I had some time ago Ian with meccano , but good job on Implementing,  I have a fence construction Kit as you Know
and am messing around with a Scalextric construction Kit at the moment on and Off.

[ianross]

Thanks Kevin, please build something with construct8or, Steve has given me permission to post this as a anim8or challenge, does anybody know how I can post this on the challenge page?
The scalextric sounds like a really good idea, please email on this.

Ok, this looks doable

nice construction set lots  of fun, here is a wip to ball start the rolling
rendered in Carrara if that's okay?

[ianross]

This is great, wow!! you're welcome to do more pictures headwax. Check out meccano toys for inspiration. I love the construct8or boxes here.
Thanks for getting things started.

[Janro]

At least the modelling part is out of the way.

So are the entries expected to be still images or animations? Or either?

[headwax]

Thank you Ian. It's very kind of you t o make this available. It's certainly a fun set to play with!

[ianross]

Reply to Janro, the answer is either, you may wish to do a still and an animation if you have the time. Look forward to seeing your work.

[headwax]

Hi Ian, don't be disheartened that there are not more entries yet. Things start slow then pick up

[headwax]

PS I found it a lot easier to select all the meshes and choose rotate none. it makes it much easier if you export to another program as an example - for lining up things. I didn't realise that when I made my first piece.

Upload your construct8or images to cafe press, and open up a free store, and it's possible for you to create a range of goods, and sell them to the world.

I'm notorious for not doing/completing challenges, but looks like there's a little time and a pretty simply objective, so I guess I'll give this one a shot. For the community.
