Below you will find links to various galleries showing off the projects i’ve done while attending The DAVE School. Each individual project has its own gallery, with some galleries having only an image or two and others having many images. Some may also have links to animations.
Oh my, the coffee cart project! This was our first major project and we spent I think 8 days on it. The project involved modeling a coffee cart to exact specifications. We needed to duplicate the physical cart in our classroom. After modeling the cart, it had to be textured and lit to be as realistic and 'sexy!' as possible. We were graded on our modeling, texturing, lighting, and composition.
This project involved modeling a metal bracket, then placing the bracket on a wall with some piping and using strictly procedural textures and gradients to realisticly texture the scene.
The Coke Can was another excercies in lathing, as well as an introduction to building an object numerically instead of eyeballing it. We used this can in the place setting project as well as in our introduction to procedural textures.
The place setting project actually encompassed multiple smaller projects done over the course of a few days, but the focus was on learning the lathe tool and basic lighting and texturing.
The NewTek logo was our very first model done in class. Before this we had simply messed around with straight primitives. The construction of this logo involved combining various tools together as well as modifying what we created. The logo was also animated in a verybasic manner to introduce us to Lightwave Layout.
