Still Life Assignment

We recieved a project to create a still life in 3D and model, texture, light it, and composite it. Marks are solely based on how pretty it is.

I had a number of ideas and kept bouncing around until I came across a simple photograph of a teacup and a daisy on a saucer. If you know me you'd know that I absolutely love all kinds of teas and thought there would nothing better than to model some teacups and hand that in as my still life.

I hand painted the texture on the teacups in Photoshop.. not that you can really see it but I was quite proud of it.

Anyways, here is the final result:

I love it. I hope you do too! I have been focussing on my lighting and compositing skills lately.. hoping to do that as a career when I graduate.

Architectural Assignment

Hey there!

I know this is a late post, but I wanted to post a picture of my architectural assignment. Just because I like it. I will be rendering out an animation at a far more interesting angle sometime in the future.

 

So basically this assignment was designed to allow us to show off our lighting skills in an architectural piece. I fell in love with the fan vaulted ceilings in some cathedrals and decided to make one. I modelled this after the Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, England and relied on my research of cathedrals, Google search, and surprisingly, Google street view. It took me inside the cathedral and I got details that I couldn't find on the regular Google search.

 

This was modelled, lit, and composited in Softimage.

 

Cheers!
