Above are some of the side table designs I was considering creating. i came up with pretty varied designs for this asset as I wasn’t sure how I wanted it to look. I drew some designs with one central leg and some with 4 legs as I felt these were all signature vintage designs. The 3 designs I drew on the right were the ones I created first in my sketchbook. At one point I was really leaning towards creating the bottom design on that page as I felt it looked really cool, however I wasn’t sure I’d be able to execute such a design so I created a more simple design as seen on the left. I ended up going with the design on the left as in the lectures we learned about using the revolve tool and I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to use this.
Below are the three coffee table designs that I came up with. They are actually pretty similar in design as I was struggling with coming up with things that were distinct as I feel like coffee tables are usually pretty similar. The bottom design was a combination of the top 2 that I drew however I didn’t like this very much once I had drawn it as I felt it looked a little strange. The top design is the one that I ended up taking further and making in Maya. I chose this one over the middle one as I thought that it matched best with the side table design that I had chosen to make. I thought by making the designs sort of similar it would be more realistic as people usually buy matching furniture if they can. I felt the coffee table design that I chose would look the best in the scene and after I had created the sketches I proceeded to make it in Maya.
