Still Life Render
This is from last semester. I'm busy working on current classwork, so there isn't a ton I can post right away, but I wanted to show off one of my projects I did. I ended up using the scene I modeled in my final project last semester which was a bouncing ball animation. (given I had to switch out the glass centerpiece for some red high-heels in order to cut down the render time for the animation) I have also included the plethora of notes and mockups I made in my sketchbook as well as a few wip/earlier renders. I hope you all enjoy seeing the process and work behind the final piece.
This is the final render that I turned in.
This was an earlier render to test lighting. I hadn't finished all the textures yet at this stage.
This one was a bit further along. I had finished the textures and was messing around with lighting options. This one felt too dark, so I chose the brighter one.
The next few images are all pre-production notes and mockup sketches we were required to show the teacher before starting the project. Once we had approval we were allowed to begin. These are some notes on the lily leaves and stems
Notes regarding the vanity surface the scene's objects are all placed on
Notes regarding the nail polish bottles and how I planned to model them
Notes on the vase model (I ended up scrapping the inkflower hand texture idea due to time)
Notes on the eyeshadow makeup palette and some sketches at various angles
Notes on the cut of the gemstone for the rings and sketches from different angles for reference
Notes on the main attraction of the scene, the glass centerpiece. Focus is mainly on the structure and how I wanted to approach modeling it
Continued notes on the glass centerpiece with more sketches to better cement the visual structure I was imagining
Some initial sketches of the scene from different angles in order to get the layout and placement how I wanted it
Notes on the jewelry box and how the rings would fit within it
Sketch which depicts roughly the camera angle I wanted to replicate in the final image/render
Notes on the petals of the lilies in the vase
The scene roughly sketched from a front view to add to the side and top-down view references
