Weekend Contest Winners: Default Cube & Spike Thing
This weekend’s contest was a total and utter madhouse! With 275 comments and over 60 entries this was by far the biggest one yet. I guess Mike’s challenge of figuring out how to apply modifiers, duplicate and what not brought out the best in all of you.
Mike had the honor of picking one winner, and the community could vote for their favorite! Mike writes:
I kept a close eye on all the entries over the weekend and I am going with the animated cube by Sam Brubaker. It looks like it’s the community favourite too!
Absolutely right! But because two winners is more fun than one, I’ll announce that the community winner is Spike Thing by gandalf3:
Here are the runners up. And don’t forget to check the contest thread for many, many more artworks and Blender screenshots.
Have fun!

And a special place of honor for Brian Lockett’s literal interpretation (which ended up getting more votes than any other entry ;-))
It’s look like I’m still hiden! :)
. … Well done
Brian wins hands down! But the other aren’t too bad :)
Hahaha!
o/ Woo-hoo!
Congrats, everyone. ;) Most successful Weekend Contest yet.
Yours was clearly the best, but it’s all politics with these things…
Hahaha!
Wait a minute here. The one with the most votes only gets a “place of honor” mention?
Given the slapstick nature of my submission and the outrageous number of votes it got, I personally asked that the win go to someone who actually exemplified the contest better. It would’ve been a grievous tragedy if I had won. Hahaha!
Congrats everyone. This was a really fun one :)
Indeed. Had a lot of first-time entries try out for this one. Hopefully, we’ll see another great response this week.
Here, here! Glad I’m off the hook for picking the topic this week though. That’s going to be a tough act to follow :)
Indeed, I wonder what alias guru has up his/her sleeve? ;)
I think it is an impossible mission… Seeing the number of entries and the quality of the output there might not be a better topic than this. So after all, we now understand the spirit of Ton to choose the cube as the default Blender object! We are enlightened!
I will never delete the default cube again!
Congratulations Sam and Brian!
Hey, Bart, a letter ‘n’ got by you. Weeked. ;)
maybe that’s not a mistake, it could have went on for weeks and weeks and weeks…
Ha, indeed :) Fixed!
A request: All these entries are awesome (not just the winner).
So how about sharing how they were created?
If a full-fledged tutorial is too much for a WEEKEND activity, at least record it and share it as a speed modeling video (no audio needed; not even a background music track).
This is on the lines of Malcolm Baldrige Award (MBNQA), where the winners generously share the secrets of how their system works, so that others can emulate them.
Likewise, at least the top 3 winners (if not all entrants) should share their secrets too!
