Apple Tutorial

The second tutorial we participated in was the apple tutorial, this was a learning curve as we learned how to manipulate an object using soft selection and using individual vertexes. I found this exercise very interesting and entertaining, this tutorial also allowed us to realise that there are always changes that need to be made as no fruit is a perfect shape, this allowed us to put little dents in the apple and also modify the stalk.

After completing the apple, I attempted to create a strawberry, this was also a good test of manipulating a shape by its vertexes. The strawberry is a different shape to the apple too, it is a longer shape than the apple. The strawberry also has leaves on the top, I modified the leaves by putting in more width & length segments which then made the shape easier to manipulate.

Edit 08/02/2011:
After using image effects in tutorial three, I went back to my strawberry and added this texture and rendered it after using the gloss effects. There is too much shading around the strawberry because the image wasn't of high enough quality.
