Air Freshener Display, Part 3: Riser Stand Modeling

Christopher Tyler May, 18th 2015 0 Comments
This is the third tutorial in the Air Freshener display packaging tutorial series. It models the riser stand using polygon modeling and subdivision surfaces. The riser looks deceptively simple and this tutorial aims to show how to construct it.

Air Freshener Display, Part 2: Packet UV Mapping and Texture Application

Christopher Tyler May, 9th 2015 0 Comments
This is the second tutorial in the air freshener packaging tutorial series. It deals with the UV mapping of the packet object, specifically looking at the mirror UVs and how to correct their inverted nature (they were generated from duplicate geometry that had been mirrored across a grid). It also sets up a UV template, correctly sets the physical size of the template, and then sets the Adobe Illustrator art over it. Finally, this art is imported into Design 3D and applied to the packet art.

Air Freshener Display, Part 1: Packet Modeling

Christopher Tyler May, 9th 2015 0 Comments
This tutorial models a generic packaging object with a hanging hook inset. It is deformed slightly to give the sense of something contained inside. It uses basic polygon modeling, subdivision surfaces, deformation lattices and some basic UV mapping.

Boolean objects and STL format (3D printing)

Christopher Tyler May, 4th 2015 0 Comments
This tutorial deals with preparing geometry for STL output format used for 3D printing. It specifically looks at using the booleon Union tool to weld together some 3D type into a block shape, and issues that may come up. The use of the Select Non-Manifold function is discussed along with objects with counter-spaces.
