August Challenge - Nataliia - Noobie
 

Well, I'm going to give this a try.

Idea is a medieval style wizard's lab with all the gadgets and gizmos one would have: bits of critters, vials, things that go *ping*.

Inspiration will come from my many years of D&D, so from the book "The College of Wizardry" here is what I'm going for:

Every good lab must have a table of beakers, so...here's my first set of beakers and a couple of hurricane lamps. I will light it better later, of course :)

Goodly!

Nice pair o' beakers you got there Nat ;)

Im thinking the table legs might be a bit thick? Seems a waste of wood to use a whole tree truck :)

looks more like granite or marble...which would also put it under the waste catogery :)

looking good!:thumbsup: Revolved splines for the lamps?

thats just beautiful man...ehhhhr....I mean woman ;)

icky - Point taken on the legs, it was a quick job to have something to put the beakers on, they may be more decorative later, but will definitely put them on a diet.

howard - yeah, after learning the revolve tool, everything but the darn table in that pic is revolved :D made beakers so much easier.

A nice bit of glass there, is that a downloaded shader or somthing you threw together?

Ah, the glass. I have ckyuk to thank for his lovely advice in the Revolve Scene thread (http://forums.simplymaya.com/showthr...&threadid=7209). I just changed the colours when I wanted something other than clear and then fiddled with it. Timely bit of advice there and very welcome :)

OK, between cleaning and packing to get ready to move next week, I've managed to accomplish a little bit more. Lighting, floor & wall are just temp. Still much much to be done :)

Looking good so far

Rearranged some things, added some curly wires (all labs should have curly wires :D ), some books, etc. Wireframe and wip shots below:
