Final Project

Here are the images for my final project. The product line doesn't really have a name, but they are all designed to help alleviate simple, daily annoyances.

Still at it

I have been messing around with yafaray for most of the day now. I'm finally starting to get something going here. A lot of my time was actually spent trying to create liquid to put in the tube. I ended up getting frustrated with that and instead made little green glass energy balls. I'm assuming once I get my materials really down, the rest of my models will go a lot smoother since I can just use the same look.

More yafaray

More progress made with yafaray this morning. I got my lighting set up looking a lot better. I'm now moving on to getting materials on my actual models looking right. The bottom picture is the first render of one of my products. I'm having some trouble with glass now. The tube kind of looks non existent as opposed to something made of glass. Oh well, at least it's starting to look sexy.

Yafaray progress

I'm going to use yafaray to render my project, so I'm trying to get a handle on it. I have made some progress towards creating a product lighting setup.

Energizer start

Here are the beginnings of the energizer (temporary name) pack. I would really like to have most of my modeling done this weekend so I can really focus on the materials and renderings looking really believable.

Project 2 Sketches

Here are some initial sketches for my second project. I'm in the "invention" group, so I have decided to develop a product line. I'm planning on designing 3 products made to help alleviate daily, simple problems. However, the products will latch on to people's bodies in really scary, painful ways. For example, a camera sits on a person's head so it's always with them, but it stays on their head via a drill that drills into their skull. I see these products pointing out how much people are willing to go through to "better" their lives; like people go through plastic surgery and getting their face torn up just so they can look better. I plan on rendering my models with yafray to get a super clean,serious, and modern product look to them.
