Best Teapot in Class Winner!
Teapot model provided.
Using node editing tools, applied Arnold standard surface materials to teapot. Assigned and adjusted shaders and bump maps according to instructions for dielectric and non-dielectric materials in Maya. Explored using unique custom materials previously created using Adobe Capture. Adjusted shell placement on UV Map to bring out the swirl pattern on the main teapot. Adjusted rivet placement and scale to include more of the jewel look from material. Materials created: Botswana Agate, Rose Quartz, Bedazzled jewel, and antique brick layout of walkway. More of an experiment than anything but won the title of best teapot of the class competition via peer votes.
Detailed breakdown coming soon via new blog under construction.
