Project 3- The 3D Model

I have brought my 3D model from the school shop and now have to clean it. When i first got i i thought it wasn't my model as it was covered it a hard gel but i then realised it was inside as this was a protection gel, embarasing. I start pulling the gel away gently then using a toothpick get into the edges of my model to take it out of the small area, what an effort. I then soak my model in  a 2% Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) aqueous solution to soften the gel. I left the model in the solution for about an hour taking it out regularly and scraping the gel of with a tiny metal wire.

Finally it it clean and gel free! I decided to keep the model the colour it is (clear with a slight cream tinge making it slightly less transparent) because it suits the idea of being antlers and i want to take the photo of it on a dark background to relate to my presedents. Here is my final Hi-Resolution image of my model:

Here are some other images of various sides of my model:

Project 3 - Final Render

This is my final render of my three 3DS models. I fixed up the material plenty of times so it was exactly what i wanted and spent a lot of times making tiny adjustments to the positions of the models so that the layout was natural and effective.

Project 3 - Rendering Progress

I have chosen the 3 model  I want to render. The reason i chose these three are because they are the ones that are the most different from each other.
The following are some progress images I saved while doing my rendering:

These are the models i used and the layout i creates. I have made it appear as if each model is coming closer to you. Obviously the one the front it my final model as it is the biggest and closest one.

This images shows my adjusting the background and material. I chose a soft creme coloured material called mansory that was appealing to me as when it rendered it looked like the colours antlers could be. The background i chose was a photo pf some gravel. I darkens the images and edited it in photo shop and added it. The reason i chose this was because i wanted a dark background to make the models stand out and to link it to my precedents.

This is an image of my rendering in progress.

This is one of my renders that is close to what i want but I don't exactly like the brightness of the material. I want the models to blend into the background more naturally.
