Doughnut Stand
I crafted this Animation and 3D model as part of my exploration into the capabilities of Blender. I think, the strength of this creation lies in the mastery of lighting that I achieved. However, a notable weakness of this work is that the background textures and plants were sourced externally. Strengthening this aspect of my skill set will undoubtedly broaden my capabilities, ensuring a more comprehensive skill range for future projects
My inspiration for this project stemmed both from curiosity and a doughnut tutorial that I watched on YouTube. This tutorial, which showcased diverse features of Blender, fuelled my desire to explore my own creative potential.
Moving forward, I acknowledge the room for improvement, particularly in creating a background that seamlessly complements the overall composition. My commitment to learning 3D environments will be an important step in refining this piece and future projects, ensuring a more cohesive and artistically satisfying outcome.
Showcase Video
I have created two different environments to showcase my spinning doughnut stands, aiming to observe and present their visual impact in varied settings.
The first animation has a setting with a wall, floor, plant pots and plants that I sourced from a blender add-on. This setup allowed me to see how the doughnut stand interacts with a pre-existing backdrop. This also let me practise creating a realistic scene that would complement the main focus of my animation and refine my ability to manipulate lighting that would enhance the prominence of the main object.
Conversely, the second animation adopts a minimalist approach, presenting the doughnut stand against a backdrop of emptiness which provides a unique perspective.
