week 8

New model:
- trying to add folding technique + light 
- natural lighting 
- There seems no shadow 

- Adding a warm lighting

Photoshop draft

This is the file with the paper model in multiply and adding textures on top of it. It shows the shadows, however, the material quality is not so great. There's still more work needed, such as my window is currently hidden by the material and my screen. 

This has hidden the paper model image, it shows the textures better, however, the image is looking very 2D, because there's no shadow added on it and the context. 

Fusion 360 Material rendering

I don't know how to get rid of the outlines of the letters. 

Used soft light & skylight background

I used walnut wood texture over the majority of the component. I really like this brown colour and the dull look that it gives. Inside there's one strip of mirror material, one yellow metal and one glossy yellow paint. Recently yellow gives an energetic feeling and it can give a very nice colour combination with the other colours. 

I've chosen a strip of green leather on the side of the model. I think it's a very fresh colour and it's a nice colour combination with the brown. Also, I love avocados haha.

Recently I really like gold accessories it adds a vintage and classic feel. So I have selectively put the material on to some of the lines in this model. The mirror is another material I have included in this model.  Mirror's nature is to reflect the surrounding, so it can catch the surrounding colour, however, I didn't add any environment background for this rendering.

Top view from the back 

Bottom view from the back. The green leather stands out amongst the wood and it doesn't make too obvious contrast.
