Lovely Sculpture

The sculpture that i am chosen. i called it lovely sculpture. You might ask why and the reason i would say is it shows who i am, a very straight forward person. No pretending or lies, please! That's all...hahaha..

How to start? At first, i create the base using the cylinder and i copied the top piece of it and make it transparent as it was glass on top of the chrome base.

After that i tried to figure out the height of 4m which is required according to the outline.

Then i was try and error with what i should do next where i actually tried to cut the tube but it end up as nothing that i wanted to create.

How to create the love shape? It took me ages to figure out that i could actually just drew it on the auto cad and imported it in the 3ds max.

After i imported the file from auto cad, i started to rotate it ninety degree to the top of the little sphere. I was actually also scaled it to fit to the height of 4m where i have set before.

I slowly figure out that i can do the face extrude before i make it smooth as what the picture was.

I make the loves smooth as i mentioned before.

After all, i started to do the details of the diamond. I started it of by creating the cylinder and do bit modification by taper to make the front part smaller. Then i used the edit poly to make it slightly uneven where it would be more natural as what the photo shown. Then i mirrored it so it would not be looks so imperfect at the back of it.

After i done with the big diamond, i copied and scaled it one by one one where i also do bits twisting to make it look better and placed it to where it appears in the photo.

Tadaa! This is my final product where a ring is created by twisting a tube to hang the diamond on the center of the love shape. i do bit rotation to the ring to make it looks better. Lovely, isn't it. I liked it even though it's not as perfect as i wanted it to be but well i have tried my best. My lovely sculpture is replacing my initial thought of doing a courage the cowardly dog. I'm sad but my lecturer's advice is right. I can't even do simple model in the first place when i started doing it. It took me about 4 to 5 days to figured out how to use 3ds max. It was really tough for me but thanks god i managed to create at least something which is challenging enough for me. I said too much and wish you would appreciate what i have done, my visitors...

Trying out to do rendering with the materials.
