1 Course: 3D Design Title: Mesh Modeling Vase and Flower Dropbox File: VaseAndFlower.zip Blender: Version 2.45 Level: Beginning Author: Neal Hirsig Mesh Modeling Vase and Flower In this tutorial, we ll create a vase and flower model and render it using Blender s Toon shaders. Open MyBlender.blend (or the default if you are using MyBlender as the default Blender file).
2 We will use the Default Cube Object for this tutorial. Select the Default cube in Object Mode. In the Transform Properties Panel on the right change the Size X: to 2, Size Y to 2 and Size Z to.5 Press the AKEY to deselect the cube. While in Top View place your 3D cursor in the center of the cube. Press Space / Add / Mesh / Circle. Set the Vertices to 8. Press the SKEY and scale the circle to the size of the cube.
3 Switch to front view (NUM1). Use the Blue Transform Widget Arrow to move the vertices up to the top of the cube as shown. Press the EKEY (Extrude) Select Only Edges ; then press the ZKEY (to constraint the extrusion to the z axis). Extrude the edges up a bit as shown below. Press the ZKEY. Rotate your view in the main 3D viewport to gain a view like the one shown below.
4 Scale out a bit.
5 Extrude Edges (Z axis) Scale in a bit.
6 Extrude Edges (Z axis) Again Extrude Edges (Z axis)
7 Scale out a bit. Extrude Edges (Z axis)
8 Scale in a bit. Extrude Edges (Z axis)
9 Scale out a bit. TAB to Object Mode. Select both the cube and circle objects. Press CTRL-J and join them together into one object. In the Transform Properties Panel name this object Vase. Press F9 (Editing) if not already displayed. With the Vase selected press the Centre New button in the Mesh Panel. (This repositions the objects center to the real center of the whole vase).
10 Save your file F2. (Call it VaseAndFlower.blend). Press the ZKEY (return to wireframe mode). Switch to Top view (You may have to press NUM5 to get a true orthographic top view) With the vase selected press the MKEY (layer) and place the vase on layer 2. (Leave layer 2 inactive.) In layer 1, top view, place your 3D cursor in the center of the display and press Space / Add / Mesh / Circle. Choose 16 vertices.
11 Using the GKEY, Grab and rearrange the vertices to form a sort of petal shape as shown below. With all of the vertices selected (AKEY); in the Mesh Tools Panel press the Subdivide button once.
12 With all the vertices still selected; in the Mesh Tools Panel press the Smooth button 4 times. Select the vertex on the far right of the petal shape ONLY.
13 Switch to Front View NUM1 Press the Proportional Editing button and turn it on. In the Falloff button next to it choose Sphere Falloff.

Press SHIFT-D (Duplicate). Move and rotate this duplicate wall into position on the right side of the floor forming a corner behind the vase.
47 In the Transform Properties Panel name this object Right Wall. Select the Floor, Left Wall and Right Wall objects. Press the MKEY (Layer) and place these objects on layer 5. Save your file CTRL-W. Turn on Layers 2, 3, and 4 only. Select all of the flowers (Buttons, Stems and Petals). Add Layer 1 to the scene. Use the Blue Transform Arrow to raise the flowers up in the vase as shown.
48 Add Layer 4 to the Scene. Add Layer 10 to the scene. This layer contains the Camera Main and Camera Focus objects. Select the Camera Focus object from the Outliner Window. Press the GKEY and move the Camera focus to the center of the Vase/ Flower arrangement.
49 Click in the Perspective Viewport and change it to Camera (NUM0). Select the Camera object. Use the top, front and side viewports to position the camera so that the camera viewport looks something like shown below.
50 Note that in my camera view the Walls behind the flowers seem as if they are apart. (You may have something like this on yours. The problem is that by default Blender s camera is clipped at 100 units. Anything beyond 100 units will not appear in the camera view. Press F9 (Editing) if not already displayed. In the Camera Panel increase the ClipEnd setting until the walls appear closed. (My setting is 120) The walls should now appear closed in camera view. Notice that in the camera view we can see the top edge of the Left and Right Walls. We want a solid corner background so we need to increase the height of the two walls. Select the Left Wall object. In the Transform Properties Panel increase the Size Z: setting until the wall is high enough to fill the background of the camera view (My setting is 30). Select the Right Wall object and do the same.
51 The walls now fill the camera view. Save your file CTRL-W. We will now apply some simple colors to the objects. Switch to Front View. Turn on Layer 5 only (Floor and Walls). Select the Floor Object. Press F5 (Shading). Click the Add New Button. Name the Material Floor Green and adjust the color Sliders to: Select the Left Wall Object. Click the Add New Button.

52 Select the Right Wall Object. Click the small arrow to the left of the Add New Button. Add the Wall Yellow Material to it. Turn off Layer 5 and turn on Layer 1. Select the Vase. Click the Add New Button. Name the Material Vase Purple and adjust the color Sliders to: Turn off Layer 1 and turn on Layer 2. Select one of the Button objects. Click the Add New Button. Name the Material Button Yellow and adjust the color Sliders to:
53 Select a different Button object. Click the small arrow to the left of the Add New Button. Add the Button Yellow Material to it. Add the Button Yellow Material to the other buttons as well in the same manner. Turn off layer 2 and turn on layer 3. Select one of the Stem objects. Click the Add New Button. Name the Material Stem Green and adjust the color Sliders to: Add the Stem Green Material to the other Stem objects. Turn off layer 3 and turn on layer 4. Select one of the Petals objects. Click the Add New Button. Name the Material Petal White and adjust the color Sliders to: Add the Petal White Material to the other Petals objects.
54 Turn off layer 4 and turn on Layer 20. This layer contains the lighting set-up. Since we are using a floor and a back wall we do not need the Sun Back and Sun Bottom lamps. Select the Sun Back lamp from the Outliner Window and delete it. Select the Sun Bottom lamp from the Outliner Window and delete it. Switch to Front View. Turn on Layers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, and 20. Save your file CTRL-W. Render the camera view F12. The objects are rendered in the Material colors assigned. We want to use Blender s Toon rendering function for this scene. Press F10 (Scene). In the Output Panel press the Edge button. Press the Edge Settings button. Leave the Outline color the default black. Set the Enit (Edge Integer Thickness) setting to 255 and the AntiShift setting to 115.
55 Render F12. Here are some other images rendered from different camera positions.
