I was looking at 3D rendered images of products and found some typical ones, like headphones but I also found some like the one above which is a 3D rendered pile of pills that are in the shape they’d be in within the bottle. Some designer or business person for this company thought that showing the pills inside the bottle was a productive way for the artist/designer to show off the product. I think I get it after a few minutes of thought but it caught me off guard. Why the need to show the shape of the bottle? Is it a way to reference the back to the company? Also the shadow for the bottle is still there with the pills. I found this at http://www.behance.net/gallery/70688019/Natures-Wellness-Market-Nutrition-3D-Rendering .

I call this Factory City. In this, I used basic polygons and modeling in Maya to make a cityscape that includes a factory. This city seems normal to most, but if anyone knows of my game Cognitive Workshop, they should recognize this factory. This factory is the entire setting of the game. My model is a reference to my game but also adds to the world the game exists. The world feels normal for the most part, with a hint of surreal. I used a pale color scheme to make a surreal feel as well as the very sharp trees. The factory isn’t alone in this model as I added some buildings and an empty parking lot. The deserted parking lot is due to the abandoned nature of the factory in my game. I am delving deeper into the world I built my game to expand on the experience I plan on it being.

Still playing around with the tools in Maya. This is future cars I am currently making. The closer one in the first pick was the first version and the farther one in the first pick is the more updated one. The second view shows more of the difference in the cars main body form.

After spending some time playing around with primitives I started to play with colors. Specifically using transparent white and faded blues and browns. The first couple are of the pillars I was playing around with. The second couple are of the future car I made. Renders came out really dark even though the preview came up fine. I changed the colors to light blues and purples to see if they came out like the preview. Those are the last two.

Started to use Maya. After playing around with it to make some vehicles I ended up with a couple. To make these I only used the primitive shapes with small adjustments. The first is a bit chunky, the second I started to use cylinders and moving edges and faces around.
