Coaster in Rhino (week #5)



 So I decided to work on idea no. 10, The Bumpy Coaster. 

The Bumpy Coaster has removable pieces that look like pebbles and the surface of the coaster should look like a river/water. 

I couldn't fine any texture in Rhino that resembled water, so I just went with a simple blue. I will probably use "blue Acrylic" and paint waves on it myself. I was also thinking about using "Wood" painting the pebbles to give them an earthy look. 

The removable pieces are supposed to be some sort of game. The owner has to arrange the pebbles in such way that the mug/glass can balance on top. Each piece is at a different hight. 

The coaster is 8x8 cm and 1mm thick. The pebbles are spheres with the radius of 1.5 mm.

Castle Refined (week #3)

Image
 In the speed dating session, I got some really helpful critiques, most of which were about adding more details to my castle to make it more interesting.  So I added some trees, a couple of rocks, and clouds outside and some light/lanterns inside the courtyard of the castle. I was also told it's better to choose a lighter pink for the bricks on the purple towers so I chose this lighter pink. Then I started experimenting with textures: I chose some green plaid patterns for a couple of the trees and the bottom to give it a more playful toy kind of look, a soil/mud texture for the rocks, and a purple asphalt for the purple parts. Then comes experimenting with lighting:  White Directional Light Yellow Directional Light Yellow and Magenta Directional Light  (I also darkened the sky color) White rim light
