3D Asset Design Assignment Post 15 – Additional Notes (Bench)
For my references for this model, I chose two very distinct benches so that I could pull inspiration from both of them for the different aspects of my model. The legs of the left image and the backrest design of the right image were the main parts of the images that I took inspiration from for my design.
I started with a cube for this model which I used the scale tool and bevel tool on to create the seating part of the bench. I then extruded the bottom face of the ‘cube’ so that I could start making the bench legs. I used the multi-cut tool to allow me to scale down the extruded part to the width that I wanted the bench legs to be. The multi-cut tool was also used to add edges down the front of the legs so that I could use the bevel tool to add curves to the legs. Half of the part I was using to make the legs was deleted so that I could mirror the side I made changes to so I didn’t have to repeat the process of making the curves on every leg. After mirroring the bench leg that I had finished I used the boolean difference feature to cut a modified sphere hole in the bench leg part which created the gap between the two legs on a single side. To create the side rests and backrest of the bench, I extruded from some of the faces that were created when I used the bevel tool on the original cube. I then used modifier cylinders and the boolean difference feature again to create the design on the backrest and side rest. After this was done, I mirrored the completed half of the bench and the bench was complete.
The texture for this model was created in Substance Painter. It was created using a smart material known as Wood Ship Hull Nordic.
