Finishing Off the Interior

The ceiling fan was the next object to be produced; this was made mainly using the lath tool. The ceiling fixture and the main part of the fan were produced using the lathe tool the blades were made by drawing a profile and extruding it up. The vertices on the blade were then scaled down to give a point and the rest of the sides were chamfered. The mesh smooth modifier was applied to smooth out any sharp edges on the blade.

The final object that was placed onto the scene was a spiral stair case in the corner on the space. On the create drop down menu there is an option for stairs. This is the tool used to create the spiral stair case. When the roof was placed a hole was cut out, using the Boolean tool, for the stairs to go through.

Lighting was added onto the scene; firstly an omni light was added outside the window. Also 75w light sources were added to the standing light and spotlights on the shelve.

Finally the materials were added onto the scene which, mainly consisted of the architectural materials such as glass, metal, plastics and paint. These were applied separately to each of the objects. To make the scene look more realistic a image of a music video was added to the TV screen and also an art print was added on the wall by creating a map on the material editor and applying it to the objects.

To create a rough brick effect on the wall near the stair case the masonry architectural material was used and a tile map was added to the material. The running bond preset was used to create a brick look. To add more realism to the material a noise map was added to the tiling and also a noise was added as a bump map. This gave the material a different shade of colours and also made the material bumpy instead of just flat.

After this was done the image was then rendered to show the final look of the scene:


Making Speakers

The speakers in the scene were created by firstly making a speaker box using the box tool then cutting out the speaker holes and drill holes. The speakers themselves were created by creating a cone and removing the front face, and then a sphere and torus were added at the back with another torus and tube added to the front. The larger speaker was then taken and scaled down to produce the smaller speaker and then both objects were placed in the speaker box.
