 For my Duck model, I created a xylophone duck toy inspired by a Fisher-Price kid's xylophone that looks similar to what I played with when I was growing up. I also wanted the design to remain simple but charming, hence the few colors and the cool hat for flair. When I modeled the duck, I used the boolean difference command frequently as well as splitting parts of the model with iso-curves. In Keyshot, I first used the soft touch material for the body of the duck and mallet and then painted over the soft touch with different colors. The xylophone tones were first materialized with brass and those were also painted over as well. I adjusted the direction of the lighting to emphasize the shadow and form of the duck.
