Project Update - 30/9/2010

It has been a very productive week, ive finished another few 3d props and the complimenting 2d files. Here are some examples of some of the work i've done today.















I gave the fruit bowl some more attention, duplicating the fruit and positioning it in the bowl in a natural way. Now I just need to add the texture to it - apple, orange .etc.















I made a fully 3d replica of the clock pictured on the right. The picture on the left is the 3d model rendered in realtime. I had a lot of trouble figuring out a way I could carve a circular face in the front of the model and I looked all over the internet but no answers could be found. I ended up shipping that detail but it still looks very nice, on the plus side any less polygons mean higher performance. Clock doesn't 'tick' as you might expect but that is a limitation of the software im using.

I also took over 20 screen caps of the process it took to make this item, I will use it in my presentation to help explain the whole process.
















And one more model i've finished today - A piture frame/picture!
This one was farely easy, I made it generally in the same way as my other frames.

Update - 2/9/2010

I got some more work done on the kitchen props today, mainly polishing off older models but also starting the fruit bowl.




















Pictured above is the reference photo for the fruit bowl prop.

• Banana
• Orange
• Apple
• Tomato
• Kiwi
• Bowl
  

Above is the work in progress model of the fruit bowl and fruits/vegies (W.I.P), it is currently just geometry mesh. Like I mentioned in the previous blog post, I know only focus on the geometry of many different models and then texture them all at once. I might have a few more pictures by the end of the week.

The white things next to the orange and apple are the brand stickers but it will be more obvious when I add details to them. It is also worth noting that these fruit/vegies are only templates, I made templates of them so I can duplicate them and populate the fruit bowl accordingly rather then making them all individually.
