Kirsten Warkow: Week 3 Toy Hammer

Keyshot Rendering

Keyshot Rendering

 UPDATE: Changed material assignment for Hammer head from Aluminum to Soft Touch. Also changed lighting in Keyshot and gave the Hammer a name that would be more appealing to the younger target market.

For the toy hammer assignment, I modeled my hammer as a simple kids toy rendering the object with aluminum and hard plastic in bright colors. I wanted to keep the design basic because most toy hammers and basic hammers aren't extremely complex, but they are still functional and appealing aesthetically. While working in Rhino, I used the boolean difference and fillet edges command to create a smooth, connected object. I adjusted lighting in keyshot accordingly to show the light reflections on the hammer as well as having the scene dark enough to show the material of the hammer without the view becoming too bright.
