Blender Underground

Like the last challenge this one will stay away from the character challenge.

This week I would like you to create a object from the outside world, anything from a trash can to a park bench. Like always, have fun with this challenge and be as creative as you can be.

Heh...Penix1 retro strikes again...I knew doing all those extinguishers would come in handy some day...

but you submitted that to a challenge before!

And there's a rule where I can't recycle? Darn....Guess I'll have to dig up something new....

And NO downloaded models.

Lol..You know me too well...

Ok, this is my just freshly started blend so you know I'm not cheating.

It's the lamp on my desk. Well, sort of. Give me a break. I just started it...

OK I believe you.

I'll start something hopefully tomorrow...

Here's my entry minus textures:

wow. Who needs textures?

Regarding your workflow, is that shape mostly subsurfs?

Holy Carp Pen Man!!!!

ok how did you do the blur in the BG?? huh? How did ya?

Yeah, I was going to ask him how he achieved his DOF... but I thought I would sound like a noob.

Here's the final (with textures):



@davinci: Yep, subsurf level 2 and several loops to get the hard edges. Turns out doing the texture took way longer than just the model.

@darth: I used composite nodes, although I toned it down in this latest one so that the label is readable. Take a look at the blend and let me know if you have questions.

@Follower: glad you like it. Here's the tutorial I used for the node setup.

Appolos that is a awesome pen, please tutorialize it :-p

Thanks Starius, but don't hold your breath for a tutorial!
