Adding textures and lighting

For the lighting in these shots I added a simple daylight system.

Adding assets

Assets

I was happy with how my assets turned out. I used UVW maps to make the marble and wood textures more realistic. I modeled the door on the cabinet separately to give the object more depth and realism.

Assets

Here are some wireframe shots of my assets.

Starting the kitchen

To begin with I modeled the walls and window frames then added the floorboards. The walls were simple boxes and the window frames were two C-extensions merged together.

For the floor seen as I decided on a wooden one I made a simple box, chamfered it and then added a wood texture. With the texture applied I had to apply a UVW map to get the detail of the wood to show. Once I created one I simply copied it to create the whole floor.

Research

Research for my theme consisted  mostly of looking at pictures to get a general idea of what sort of thing I wanted to include. I created a mood board consisting of images like the ones above.

For aspects like lighting I will look at autodesk advice and tutorials.

Introduction

For my 3D modelling module I have decided to create a kitchen. I decided on a kitchen because of the diversity of objects and assets found in them. My kitchen is going to be of my own design rather than a copy of a picture already created so that I don’t have to follow a set script and can add as much or as little as I want to the scene.

I want to create a traditional warm looking kitchen using wood and marble textures however it is going to look sophisticated and modern as well. I don’t want to make the kitchen look too modern with metal textures and vivid colours because that would give it a cold heartless feel. The images below are examples of the sort of wood, marble and lights that I plan on creating.
