WK 5 - Marble

I created a marble by adding a texture to the previous ball.

It was originally blue and pink so I changed the colour to blue and white (more marble like) and chose the option EMIT to emphasise the texture.

WK 5 - Balls

We experimented with textures. On the first ball (yellow) I tried to make it look plastic by making the hardness and specularity the maximum levels.
For the blue ball I made it partially transparent by making the alpha level 0.5. However this did not make it look very different from it's normal transparancy, so I hit 'ZTransp' and it did the trick.

Fruit

The next piece of fruit I created was a banana.

I was very pleased with it, and learnt some new techniques.

To create the bananas surface I imported a texture and edited it slightly to make the stalk black and the end of the banana.







I began with the apples, using 'subsurf' to smooth the apple down to make it look more realistic.
I thought the colours I chose really made the shapes look like apples.

WK 4 - Chair

Weeks 4 tutorial was to create a chair. I did this using bezier curves and converting the shapes to mesh. It took a while to get the shapes in the right places but overall the image was worth it.

This is the best thing I've created... thus far. ;)

WK 3 - Salt Shaker

I attempted to make a salt shaker, as it was similar to making the pill. I was pleased with the overall shape, but I tried to include slight holes in the top. They didn't work very well and I'll need to work on this technique in the future.

WK 3 - Pill

Here I made a pill, with the red part scaled slightly larger than the white. I am starting to get to grips with how to use blender.

WK 2 - Castle Revisited

I did this castle in a different way, only using the keyboard, and found it to be much easier. The final display is also neater.
