Embroidery Machine Model

This model was created in bender as part of a training video for new-hire employees, on how to thread and operate the machine. Perspectives and animation constraints required the sewing head to be detached from the main body. 

Lemoncello Media Logo

First the model was created, then procedural textures for the lemon peel, fret board, and metallic pieces were applied, as well as the woodgrain on “Lemoncello Media.” The animation was then timed out and recorded by a single camera position.
