3D Asset Design Assignment Post 16 – Additional Notes (Campfire)
The style of my campfire is gonna be more based on the right reference image because that is the image that displays the campfire itself in the most detail. However I would like to take inspiration from aspects of the left image such as the cooking pot as this could add to the design of my model.
To create the stones of the campfire, I used spheres that I edited using sculpting tools and the scale tool and then placed them in a circular shape. To create the logs for the campfire, I used cylinders which had half of the model deleted which required me to use the fill hole function to add a face to the empty place where the other half of the cylinder was. I then used sculpting tools again to deform the logs so that they would look somewhat realistic. The three wooden parts and the part holding the cooking pot are just simple cylinders that have been scaled. The actual cooking pot itself was also made using a cylinder which had the top half deleted. I scaled the pot to the shape that I wanted for the pot and using the extrude tool to thicken the pot. To create the handle I extrude from two edges on both sides of the pot and merged the vertices on the end of them with the respective ones on the other side of the handle. I then smoothed the pot so that would be less rigid and so it would actually look like a pot.
Substance Painter was used to texture this model. The Pebble material was applied to the rocks around the campfire and scaled so that it fully covered them. A Colour Layer was also applied to make the colour more like an actual rock colour with the texture. The logs and the wood sticks have a smart material called Wood Ship Hull Nordic applied to them. A smart material known as Fabric Burlap is applied to part that holds the cooking pot. The cooking pot is textured with the smart material: Steel Painted Rough Damaged.
