Coaster Design

From my previous thumbnails, I chose to expand on the whale coaster and design each coaster to be its own individual design that combine together makes a whale.

To start with camera angles and lighting, I knew I wanted to begin with a top down view that highlights the peacock's tail and rendering of the main body. By making the lighting distant and high from the model, I was able to create long shadows that could called attention to the model's silhouette and the distance prevented overexposure from the metal reflection. I learned a lot about how to render the model to simulate certain textures using different textures. I also gained better understanding how lighting could change how the model could be percieved and how to simplify detail...

While the model rendering is plain, I am looking to add more details with the physical models.
