additional notes: slot machine

3D portfolio
to make the slot machine I used basic shapes such as: the cube, the cylinder and the sphere. I started off with the base of the model. to make this i made a book and using the loop cut tool i added loop cuts. then extruding the areas I wanted. to add the key hole to get the money out of the machine I used a cylinder and flattened it down. I also applied a grew metal texture to this a and brown to the rest of the cabinet. for the lever I used cylinders an a sphere on the end of the stick. for the main body of the machine i used an elongated cube and using loop cuts and extrusions i made the shape i wanted. to add…

additional notes: chair

3D portfolio
for this model I took inspiration form bar chairs. to make the bottom of the chair i used a cone a flattened it out so it would support the chair. I then added a cylinder to make the stand. for the cushions of the chair I took two cubs and sized them to be the size i wanted and added loop cuts and smoothened them to give them less of a sharp look. for the metal bar connecting the backrest to the seat i used a cylinder again and cured it. to texture the object I used aistanderedsurface and gave the metal parts a metal grey and the cushions a red colour.

additional notes: casino table

3D portfolio
for the casino table I used basic shapes. for the legs i used cubes and resized them to make one half of the legs. i then mirrored this using the mirror tool to get the same on the other side. to texture these i took the model into substance painter and gave them a black plastic material. for the top of the table. i made it by making a cube and sizing it to it would be a flat surface. to make the bit to stick out the end o the table I made loop cuts and then extruded the face. to add curvature t the table I selected the smooth tool in the mesh tab. to texture it i took it into substance painter and gave it a felt…

addition notes: roulette wheel

3D portfolio
for the roulette wheel i made the metal piece that would sit on the top first. to make this i used the curves and surfaces tab at the top of Maya. I used the tool which allows you to draw your own shape and then pressed the button which allows me to make this into a solid object. to texture this piece I used aistanderedsusrface and gave it a grey colour. i added metallicness to the object to make it look metal. for the rest of the wheel i used the cylinder model and resized it to the shape i need it to be. I added loop cuts to the top of the cylinder so then i could take them faces and move them down to give myself a boul…

additional notes: glasses

3D portfolio
to make the glass I used the curves and surfaces tab in Maya using the drawing tool i made a outline of the glass i wanted to make and then from there i selected the tool which allows me to make that selection one whole object. form here i added a material to the glass and made it more transparent so it would look more like a glass. to get the liquid inside of the glass i used a cone and turned it upside down and scaled it so it would fit inside the glass. for the little cocktail stick I used a cylinder and extruded the central vertex to give it a point on both ends. after this i used slandered surface material to texture all my objects and…

additional notes: table with cloth

3D portfolio
. next on my list I wanted to make a simple table for the casino. to start off I found pictures of what I wanted the table to look like I made a cylinder and then extruded the shape to make the stand for the table. To then fan out the top of the shape to make it connect to the table I selected the top face and extruded that To then add notches to the cylinder I made loop cuts across the shape and then extruded them faces. To create the table top I simply made a cylinder and scaled it and positioned it so that it was on top of the table. To make the feet of the table I made a cube and made it the thickness…

additional notes: neon sign

3D portfolio
. I wanted to make a neon sign for my casino. to start this, I grabbed the text tool and made some text. I played around with the settings to get a font and style that I liked for the text. I wanted the text to be different on both elements, so I changed the fonts around and change the colours. to then add a border around the sign I made a cube and extruded it to make one side of the border. I then mirrored the object and bevelled it to create the border. so far, the product looks like this. however, I wanted to add more shapes to it like starts. to do this I found the symbols I wanted and got the text tool and pasted the…
