Just experimenting

[gnurf]

I don't mean in any way to rip off some of the excellent works I have seen in the forum. It just seem a bit hard for me to find "easy" objects to begin with. So this is a version of Gary's spraybottle.

Suggestions and critique is always welcome.

Good job!

That is one nice example of following the contours of an actual bottle. Did you use the spline drawing I posted?

Also, was it not fun designing a mock label? I have a whole cupboard full of fake products I do for my books.

What program did you use? I could not quite get both shadows and a rippling reflection using my gear.

Anyhow, congrats!

Kindest Regards,

I drew the bottle from scratch, with the drawing you posted in memory. I also did the textures and bump maps in Xara (fractal clouds and plasma is a real bless [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] ) and of course the label (which was fun to do, actually) with alpha mask.

The shapes were after that imported to Strata 3D, where I used the extrude function with different settings. Pretty easy actually, when you know how to do it. FYI, I struggled for ages with CorelDReam 3D when I first started to learn about 3D modelling, and I did not pick up 3D modelling again until Vue d'Esprit 2 came out (and I am now waiting for the 4th version).
