Alexander Yanque-Monge: Object Selection & Intro to 3D Modeling

Module 1

For my first week design challenge, I made sure to model 5 objects that are similar to basic shapes, and then 3 objects with more complex geometry. I tried a number of different ways to modify each shape to make them look organic and closer to real world objects, using colour and textures to enhance their realism. I learned a lot through this whole experience and I hope to continue improving my modeling skills throughout the course.

Design Challenge 1

Started off making a donut, I created a torus and then added a subdivision surface modifier to smooth it out. I then went into edit mode to duplicate the top half of the shape to create the frosting, scaling it up slightly and moving it up to sit on top of the base donut shape. To make the frosting look more realistic, I edited some of the veriticies to make it look like it was dripping down the sides of the donut. I then added a solidify modifier to give the frosting some thickness, and then added a subdivision surface modifier to smooth it out. I added colour using principled bsdf shaders, with a pink colour for the frosting and a brown colour for the donut base. I then added a noise texture to the base donut shape to give it some texture. Finally I added some lights and imported a Hdri image to give the scene realistic reflections and lighting. I created a cylinder mesh and scaled it to create the base of the coffee cup, adjusting the geometry to make it look more like a cup. I extruded the top face to create the top lip of the cup. I then added a solidify modifier to give the cup some thickness, and then added a subdivision surface modifier to smooth it out. To make the handle, I extruded a face from the side of the cup and then manually rotated and extruded the geometry to create a handle shape. I thickened the handle by adding a solidify modifier, tweaking it to look more like a standard handle. I added colour with principled bsdf shaders, with a reddish brown colour for the cup. Finally I added some lights and imported a Hdri image to give the scene realistic reflections and lighting. I created a sphere mesh and scaled the top and bottom to create the base shape of the apple. I then added a cylinder mesh, adjusted the verticies to create a stem shape, and positioned it on top of the apple. I then added a subdivision surface modifier to smooth out the apple shape. I then downloaded an apple texture and applied it to the apple shape using UV mapping. Finally, I made adjustments to the texture mapping to make the colours look more realistic, adding some lights and importing a Hdri image to give the scene realistic reflections and lighting I created a circle mesh and scaled it up to create a round shape and extruded it into a cylinder shape. I went into edit mode removing a bunch of the faces to create a wedge shape, and then added a bevel modifier to smooth out the edges. I then added a subdivision surface modifier to smooth out the shape. <img src= I added a bunch of spheres to the cheese shape, using a randomzier to give them different sizes and positions to make them look like holes. I then added a boolean modifier to the cheese shape to make it match the spheres. I deleted the spheres to leave holes in the cheese shape. I then added a shade auto smooth to the cheese shape to make it look more natural. I added a yellow colour with the principled bsdf shader, importing a Hdri image to give the scene realistic lighting. I started with a cube shape and selected a face on the side, extruding it and rotating it to created a curved shape. I extruded the top to create the shape of the stem, and then added a subdivision surface modifier to smooth out the shape. I selected some of the edges and moved them slightly to create a more natural shape. I added a couple edge loops at the ends of the bananas to create more detail, making slight adjustments to the scale and shape. I did some texture painting in order to add colour, making using yellow for my main brush, and a softer brown and green for extra detail. I added a mix node in order to add some shine to the banana, and then added a Hdri image for realistic lighting. I started with a sphere shape and remove the vertecies on the top half, adding a deformation modifier to make it look similar to the shape of a boat. I then made slight adjustments to the ends of the boat to make it look more natural. I added a subdivision surface modifier to smooth out the shape, making additional adjustments to the edges. For the paddle holder, I added a torus shape and scaled it down, attaching a cylinder shape to the bottom and connecting it to the boat. I then added a boolean modifier to the boat shape to make it match the paddle holder. I created a paddle by making a cylinder shape and scaling it down, then adding a cube shape on top of it, flattening it and scaling it down as needed. I added colours using principled bsdf shaders, and added a Hdri image for realistic lighting. My first attempt at making a well, I started with a cube shape and scaled it down to create the base of the well, then adding an array to duplicate the shape into a loop. While I think it's a decent first attempt, I think the shapes are too blocky and the well as a whole looks very basic. Started with a cube and made it into a rectangular shape, adding a bevel modifier to smooth out the edges. I then added an array modifier to duplicate the shape, changing the angle of the modifier to make all the shapes connect in a circular formmation. I then duplicated the loop of shapes and scaled it down to create the upper part of the well. Proceeded to add a circle shape and extruded it to create the base of the well. I created a cube shape and scaled it up to act as a wooden beam, extruding faces from the sides and raising them to further shape the beam. I then selected bridge edge loops to connect the two sides of the beam together. I duplicated the beam and moved it to the other side of the well to act as the second beam. I then created a circle mesh, deleted half of it, and extruding it to create a roof shape. I added an array modifier to the roof shape to duplicate it, adjusting the pattern and then placing it on top of the beams. I used principled bsdf shaders to add colour to the well and ground. I added noise textures to the well and beams, to add detail and give a more realistic look. I then added a Hdri image and adjusted the lighting, making the scene look more professional I started with a cube shape, adding a subdivision surface modifier to make it closer to a sphere. I then stretched it out into an oval, adding 4 loop cuts and selected a couple faces from one end, extruding them to create the handles of the controller. I continued to adjust the faces and edges to make the shape look more organic and controller-like. I extruded a few faces on the top to create trigger buttons, and then added a cylinder shape to create the joystick. I added a bevel modifier to the joystick to smooth it out I added a bunch of sphere and flattened them to serve as buttons, beveling and scattering them across the controllers. For the D-pad I added a cube shape and extruded the face to create the cross shape, beveling it to smooth it out. I went into the shader editor and added principled bsdf shader to add colours to the controller and buttons. I gave the controller a metallic look by adjusting the roughness and metallic values, lowering the alpha on the buttons to make them look more like plastic. I then added a Hdri image to give the scene realistic lighting and
