Things got a little meta this week. This week’s project is a Laptop, more specifically my laptop. A particular goal this week was to make it into a more generalized laptop rather than my own, resulting in brighter colors. Recreating every key on the keyboard was out of the question, so the keys were increased in size and made less abundant. The characteristic space bar was kept and as a result, the keyboard gets across the idea without being obtrusively accurate. A particular achievement was rigging the lid of the laptop, allowing it to be set as either open or closed depending on the context.
The lighting was a special challenge this week, with the rim light clipping through the seams of the screen, resulting in it being toned down. The end render looks a bit flat as a result but that is a problem to work on next week.
