Behind the Scenes: Cafed Kona

Introduction

In the process of learning Blender, I gradually got a certain degree of familiarity with each link and production process, so I wanted to try to create a work of my own. First, I found a reference on the Internet, then set up a scene model, create an atmosphere, material, rendering, etc., and finally showed the best effects.

Software

Blender

Modeling

In the process of production, I encountered many problems, such as how to perfectly bridge the base of the syphon pot base and the foot of the base. When the two things are connected at the beginning, because the wiring is different, there is always a problem, so the syphon pot filter In the case of the filter, these filter holes are exaggerated after Boolean. In this case, all the wires need to be connected reasonably, so that the shape of the syphon filter can be perfectly produced.

However, it is more difficult than this to see the spiral springs under the filter, and how the small steel balls below are perfectly placed in the glass bottle. I didn't know how to start. But, after many tests, the steel balls in the filter were increased by the number of arrays in the modifier, and the path was planned with a curve, which was placed according to the curvature of the glass.

After all the difficulties, the model was finally completed, the whole scene was set up, and the bar and wine cabinet were added. Wine glasses and wine barrels were placed on the wine cabinet, and a lot of wine bottles were put in to make the picture richer.

Materials

In the performance of the wood material, the texture of a chicken wing wood is used, the effect is amazing, and the texture of the whole set is improved. At the beginning, the bar used the material of the wood. The whole appearance was too dark to highlight the main body. Later it was changed to marble material and embellished.

Even a small coffee bean is meticulous.

Rendering

This work uses Blender's powerful rendering function. No lighting is used in the rendering. The final rendering has not been modified. Just add an AO layer to the rendering, perfect for glass and wood and metal. The texture is expressed. And very close to the real effect. The blender's rendering capabilities are really powerful.

From encountering problems to solving problems, there are still many things to learn. Modeling is the first thing to learn, followed by lighting, materials, and rendering. The lighting and rendering’s settings are simple in blender, but I still need to learn more in terms of materials. To perfect each of your own works, and to add more design sense based on the model, will make your work better.
