~ Shipping Container Cafe ~
Some years ago, I downloaded a shipping container (ISO?) model from 3D Warehouse (as it was called then, unsure it's still there) that was all surfaces and 'reverse designed' it in all solids. I still have the model if you ever want it. It's in AutoCAD format and can be saved to others as well.
Here's an old almost-finished quick-and-dirty render of it, sort of standing up, which I know is apparently not really a good idea from an engineering standpoint, since they are engineered to be stacked horizontally. Who'd a thunk!? The floor beams are the black things. I am wondering now if I put the floor in or not, it's been some years. It's a stupid render because there should be all the sexy locking hardware on the other side of the doors, but it's possible I hadn't put them in yet when I test-rendered it:
Hey look, a half-designed abandoned two-storey treehouse using disassembled pallet wood! ;)
The semi-abandoned site looks like hell in my browser's dark mode. If I get back to this, I'm going to have to fix that.
Agreed again about the competition angle, if with some caveats. For one example, if some people can't compete one or more ways that others are doing, they might compete through cheating or assorted corruptions or nepotism or whatever. 'It takes all kinds' (what with evolution and diversity and all that).
