PROJECT 2 - THEMED BASE MODELING

For the second project of 3D modelling module, we are tasked with creating isometric environment from a given theme. I decide to pick the cyberpunk aesthetic. From there, I collected a few reference related to the cyberpunk aesthetic. However there is a singular image I've drawn inspiration from. This picture:

I am unsure what to talk about for this project as I created this blog rather late and had already forgotten whatever I have done previously. There are a few factors to note though. The reference above have shown that glass surfaces has a reflective surface but model does not have such surface, unless it is in viewport shading mode which I don't quite like.

I decide to look up on Youtube for tutorial on creating reflection on to glass surfaces in blender.

 The tutorial didn't quite help as the reflection is still absent so I decide to move on from it.

One of the more interesting aspect of modeling this project is the usage of the pipe itself. Of course, there is the method of using the cylinder and the extrude editing tool but I have wonder how else to make the pipes. I have found a tutorial on Youtube that teaches me how to made wires, cable and pipes.

Even though it has cable tutorials and the reference image has tons of cable, I decide not to include it save up time. However,  I use this technique to create the glowing pipe instead. By the time, I am done, this is my supposed final result.

FEEDBACK

When this whole things is done, Mr. Kamal has given me a few feedback on the model and how I can improved it. Here are the feedbacks:
"Maybe use a spotlight to shine on an object so that the viewers will have something for their eyes to foucus on, maybe shed some light on the chair,"
 
So I went ahead and do as follows, as well as readjusting the height of the camera and adjusting the building outside the window as well as the color.

REFLECTION

Of all the project in this module, this perhaps on of my favorites. This mostly because this project focuses on environmental modelling which I have huge interest in and I really have fun. One of the aesthetic for selection also happens to be my favorite which is the cyberpunk aesthetic. I only wish I have time to do more. This project also reminds me that I don't really need to copy the reference image for a hundred percent and give it a personal touch to make it look better. In the future, I am definitely going to attempt another environmental modeling. Part of me wishes to learn more about environmental modeling more but perhaps I can learn that in my own time.
