paco rabanne phantom

Paco rabannes new fragrance, ‘phantom’, has a unique bottle, of which looks like a small robot.

I had recently bought a bottle and instantly wanted to recreate the bottle within my 3d modelling software; with it’s obscure shape, and intricate pieces. i took the time to measure every surface of the bottle, making sure I had the most realistic and to scale 3d render i could create.

Once all of the measurements were taken, i opened up maya and began creating the basic shapes. I could then start adding the detailing to each shape, slowly bringing the fragrance robot to life.

The fragrance robot had a few interesting shapes which took a while to perfect, such as the visor and the spray button on the top, ensuring that the bottle didn’t only have the same characteristics, but also kept the integrity of the shapes.

the final piece that really put the icing on the cake and brought the bottle to life was the ‘paco rabanne’ logo. I imported an image of the logo into maya, before making it a 3D, independant object, and removing part of the main body of the robot; not only adding depth and detail, but making the final piece, easily identifiable and relatable.
