Texturing

When I was happy with the models I'd done I moved on to how I wanted them to be textured. This involved UV mapping them of which I had great difficulty doing but I am happy with how the final products came out.


Fish Fingers Box 


With the Fish Fingers box I used Google Image search to find an example and then used Photoshop to edit it around the UV snapshot of the box I had taken,
Below you can see the box against the checker pattern I used to line it up and below that the original Image.

Ice Cream Tub



For the ice cream tub I decided to use a Ben and Jerry's kind of packaging but since the fish fingers box had been a real one I wanted to look for something slightly more tongue in cheek so I found one with a joke from 'The Goonies' on it as opposed to a real flavour.

Custard Box



I still wanted to stick with the old style of custard box that I'd thought about in my planning stages so that's what I ended up with.

Steak



With the steak, I began trying out my original, cartoony steak ideas but soon realised that I didn't think it would fit in with the scene, so I began by remodelling it and looking into making it look more realistic. I'm really happy with how the steak ended up when all was done.

Snow



The Snow I made on this scene is one of my favorite things due to how happy I am with the effect that was used.
When making this I used bump mapping with a Fractal texture that was already found on Maya, I changed it's base colour to white and with some fiddling of how intense to make it I found a sweet spot where the ground looked ok.

Scene with Rendering

With the snow that covered the items, I remodelled it as I wanted it look look more like snow had been gathering on it rather than just being a snowy version of the item.
