3d Lamp

A lamp was created to go on the bedside table. research has been carried out to see different types of children's lamps.

Before modelling in 3ds max i pre planned the design for approval from the group members.


The style of this lamp chosen is like the most commonly used lamps. the process to model this lamp did not take time although when it came to adding a material to the lamp the group had decided to have the main characters image applied as the material on the lamp.


this process needed for me to use the uvw mapping modifier i chose the cylinder option so that it would fit perfectly on the lamp. the image which was going to be used didn't look right as it was a fairly large image and the fold line was overlapping the image. to over come its problem i had to go in to photoshop and edit the original image by extending the white around the edges. so when the image folded the user would not be able to tell where the finish line would be.
i also applied a texture on this image so that it would look like a material. as demonstrated in the above image.

Above is the final render for the lamp. which the group was very pleased with. it has a pink stand as its a girls bedroom ad the wall paper is going to be pink.
