I've been assisting in moderating Swiftdev's Speed Modeling Contest (SMC) for quite some time now (3+ years). These contests aren't about winning prizes but are more about community, friendly competition and learning. The SMC is a competition of how fast you can model something under a specific theme using Swift 3D.
I've watched people that were complete novices jump in on every weekly SMC contest for two months straight and saw them transition into an intermediate level of 3D modeling. In my opinion, 3D modeling is very much an art form (more so than knowing how to use an application). As with art, practice makes perfect, the more you jump in and model something new the better you become. And the SMC's are a perfect outlet for this.
So, without further delay and/or preaching from me, our current SMC (contest number 122) is up and running. The subject is 'Video Games', the time limit is 4 hours and the deadline is the 22nd. Winner gets bragging rights and gets to choose the subject for the next contest.
So, if you have the urge to learn 3D, or just want spread your wings and wipe off the dust thats been gather (on your 3D modeling talents) please feel free to jump in. It would be nice to see some new faces.
