seeing as i have made the butterfly previously i thought it only made sense to do this next.
i used the exact same model that i made for the lower poly butterfly. i did this because there wont be any close ups of the pendant so it made sense not modelling a new one.
i started off by making a loop from the head by extruding each side and matching them together in the middle. This will be the loop that the necklace will go through.
i didnt want to make a straight copy of the model, plus jewelry tends to have a little bit more detail so seemed to make sense to give it a bit more depth so i raised some of the vertexes to give it a simple detail.
next up i wanted to apply a shine to the model, a silver finish, chrome like almost.
i will show you how i achieved this.
started off with my model, assign a blinn to it.
go to the blinns attributes scroll down to reflective colour, select the checkerbox then choose env ball
then assign noise to the env ball. do this by going to the env ball attributes on the right, click the checker box next to image. make sure you assign 2D noise not 3D.
bring up your hypershade window and hold right click down on the blinn material and select graph network and it should look like this.
with the attribute panel on the right you now need to go to hardware texturing, then in textured channel drop box change it to reflected colour.
then you need to create a point light and place it somewhere in your scene.
press seven, and change renderer to high quality. and it should look like this.
so i did this but for the butterfly pendant and i was quite pleased with the results, i tweaked the colour a little bit and added a slight blue tint to it, which i thought gave less of a standard look to it.
i am fairly pleased with the results i got. it's a small detail in the grand scheme of things but links well to the outcome of the story so hopefully this will be one of the things you notice, not first time watching but maybe the 2nd or 3rd time.
