Cinema 4D Forum Challenge

A STEAM POWERED MACHINE
(from August 26, 2007 to September 26, 2007)

Full steam!

OK, time for a new challenge and this time we're putting our focus on steam! The topic is brought to us by andyvxaraya and you are to create a scene with a steam powered machine. It can be any type of machine you want as long as it's powered by steam. Make it in fantasy style if you want or historical, futuristic or completely imaginary. The ground criteria is that it must be powered by steam.

The challenge involves modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering a scene of a ship and all Cinema plugins are OK to use, as are commercial textures. You need to do all the modeling yourself, however, so Poser characters are not allowed and neither are commercial models. Applications like Zbrush or Mudbox are allowed.

A couple of things to keep in mind
