TITLE: Gramophone COUNTRY: Germany WEBPAGE: http://www.treuherz.de RENDERER USED: Creative Studio 3D (similar to Maxon Cinema 4D GO) TOOLS USED: Corel Photo Paint for the Logo RENDER TIME: one minute HARDWARE USED: PC with Athlon XP1700+, 256 MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: An old gramophone built from reference photographs. I chose this because of the modeling challenge. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The most difficult part of a gramophone like this is the funnel (horn). After CSG tries and building from scratch I suddenly realized that the easiest way is to build it from a circle with 20 points and raise every second point. That was the basic shape. After that I put additional points to simulate the rim. This shape was copied, minimized and deformed closer to a ring for the end point. Another difficult part was the wooden base, which was CSG-Built by using a lot of boolean operations. The primary aim was that the gramophone looks as real as possible. Hope you like the result...
