This project models, UV maps, textures and renders a typical type of pill bottle product. This is a Design 3D 8.0 specific tutorial series.
MODELING, UV MAPPING AND RENDERING
A Plastic Pill Bottle, Part 1: Modeling. Go to tutorial
This tutorial walks through the process of modeling a simple plastic pill bottle with rounded edges. It uses polygon modeling and subdivision surfaces.
A Plastic Pill Bottle, Part 2: Shading & Rendering. Go to tutorial
This tutorial walks through the process of scene setup, shading, and rendering of the basic plastic pill bottle.
A Plastic Pill Bottle, Part 3: UV Mapping. Go to tutorial
This tutorial walks through the process of generating the label. It models the label geometry, UV maps it, and shows how to set up the label artwork to match.
PREPARING FOR 3D PRINTING
A Plastic Pill Bottle, Part 4: 3D Printing with i.materialize. Go to tutorial
This tutorial shows how to prepare a model for printing with i.materialize. It specifically looks at specific requirements for the model, including a) closed volume; b) correct size; c) wall thickness; d) overlapped geometry; and e) mesh resolution.
