IN3D project 1 ( Double cheese burger)( part 3) the process of making double cheese burger

In order to make the double cheese burger below . i needed to first split the the burger to 4 part, the upper bun ,the cheese, meat and the lower bun. then additional feature like onion, prickles and sesame seed.

 The Bun - in order to make the bun , i need to create a sphere then scale it by compress the height 
then added a sphere below it and use boolean - difference to remove the lower part of the bun.

then added another sphere below the bun object to make the base more broad .  this will enable the  upper curve to be more smooth, the reason to add this step is because i found that a bun does not have a curve inward of the bun .this step is to add realistic into the bun .
after doing the bun, now is added sesame seed into the bun, after carefully observation, and multiple failure , i found out that it is hard to do the sesame seed in one shape. therefore i have add a sphere and a cone together and scale it by compress it. then i bevel it to remove the sharp point of the cone .
after that i create multiple  object and added it to the bun. when doing it this i have to keep on changing view, such as front view, side view and keep on rotate the seeds to make the seed soak into the bun evenly and the seeds is facing different direction, this will allow the seed to look randomly put onto the bun. then combine the object
after making the bun - i went on to make the onion, i have decided to use bevel rectangle as the shape of the onions. the reason is because only a few selected onion will be shown the the edge of the bun and  it will mostly covered by the bun, therefore it is not require to make the exact shape .by making a bevel rectangle it is more thicker and at the side view , the onion will be clearly shown 

The Cheese- the cheese that the double cheese burger is slightly bend at the edge. it is to make it look like the cheese is melted and stick on the meat. therefore in order to make the bend effect at the end of the cheese. i needed to use a cube and compress it and then sub divide it width and depth to 8 . then change to face mode and select the face at the edge of the square. after selecting it .
After selecting the face, rotate it by rotating it left-down then rotate it right down to make it bend down, after than select the move tool and move the selected face down.  this is needed to level the bump on the other face . to remove the bumps on the cheese. if this step is not done, when u bevel the cheese, the bump will be more obvious .
after doing the side and bevel it, in order to make it more smooth , i need more polygon , therefore i make use of the smooth function and added more polygon. when doing this i need to be careful as too much polygon will increase the memory needed .

Meat- the meat is being done by making cylinder and scale it by compress it. after making it,the next step i need to to add bevel into it. this is quite hard as different amount of bevel will give different result, too much bevel, another thing i found out is that too much bevel will cause the program to lag eg. bevel=1 will cause to program to hang even though the object is very smooth. too little bevel will make the side of the object too square. i needed to try and error a few time to get the right amount.
 The prickles-  to do the prickles, i create the cylinder and compress it . then i change to vertex mode and select the point at the edge of the cylinder.
then i use the move tool and select the point and random move it to give it a irregular shape . after making it, i bevel it to 0.4  so that the shape edge can be smoothed.


The lower bun - in order to create this shape, i use the upper bun, and added a cube on the top of the bun , then i use boolean- difference to remove the curve


End product -
Colour- in order to create the colour i decide to use Lambert as the bun does not reflect a lot of light ,it more of like the light bounce in different angle  . the bun i use brown-orange , the cheese i use yellow,the prickle i use green , and the meat i use-brownish-black

  1. Excellent reflection and research done. You have what it takes for industry. Please speak to your care person to be attached to an Animation company for your internship.

    Keep it up.
