Lightwave #5 Thou Shalt Have Walls!... and cupboards and handles...

It was time for some fun this week!

We were able to start on our assignments of creating a kitchen. The exercises we have been doing were for us to build our Lightwave skills.

I started by creating a chair. Nothing special but something a bit interesting. After I finished it I was made away that this design has been created before and it is actually an anti-fall chair. At least no one will be hurting them selves in MY kitchen!

the following images showcase my kitchen so far.

i created walls, windows, benches, cupboard doors and the handles for the doors.

Surprisingly it was much more easier then I anticipated. I was ready to start punching the computer but i didn't have to!!!

I used the boolean tool alongside the magic bevel, bevel tool to create everything.

I did find one thing I screwed up on. I created one handle then I just copied it onto other layers to use. I had a fair amount of layers. So I flattened the image... Big boo boo! No I am unable to individually edit each piece. Lucky i was happy with how everything turned out!\

I quite like my stove top! Good designing if I do say so myself!




Next week I aim to finish the construction of my kitchen but adding a rangehood and a few other kitchen appliances. I will also put the items I have created in the past such as my forks and spoons into the kitchen. The following week will see me adding lighting effects.



During the week I decided to do a little research for out next assignment. It is to create a building and add it into a scene.

I found these buildins which are stunninly beautiful. I am yet to decide which I will endevour to re-create.
