Fruit Bowl

The next task was to make a bowl of fruit. The first step was to create an apple. To do this, the sphere shape was selected and sized appropriately. This shape was then converted to a poly using the polygon modeling tab on the left hand side. This then enables each component of the object to be very specifically edited. Firstly, the top of the shape was pushed in slightly. Using the different selection tools on the right hand panel, you can alter the shape. This needed to be done as apples are not completely sphere shaped. Colour changed to green and a stalk placed on top. The stalk requires the use of the bend option which is in the modifiers list.



Next, a banana was made using a cylinder and the bend tool. This again was converted to a poly and edited using the different selection tools.



Finally, to create the orange and the cherries, I coped the apple and adjusted the size and colour, as well as the shape. The orange has a Blinn effect through the use of the material editor.



The bowl was created using a cylinder and the exitrude tool. This enables a shape to be "hollowed out". The top of the cylinder was pushed through, leaving a bowl. Finally I placed a table, with a wood effect (found through material editor) under the bowl.
