simple desk scene

Another project I made in my free time; this time looking back at some previous work, and incorporating it into a more subtle, minimalistic office desk.

I felt this really captured the aesthetic and feel of those late night 3D modelling sessions, where time gets lost, as work and music drowns out anything else in life…my happy place.

As mentioned and maybe noticed, I have used a few assets from a previous self project; with the desk chair, keyboard, monitor and reed diffuser.

Lighting was the main theme of this project, therefore I wanted to include a desk lamp. I began by creating a nurbs curve, acting as the lamp ‘arm’, before extruding for the head and base. I also used a nurbs curve for the lamps cable, which I thought added an extra layer of detail to the piece.

I created several iterations of the final piece; the first one with only the monitor acting as the lighting, the second one adding the lamp, affecting the environment, and finally the third, the lamp on but not shining a large overlooming circle onto the environment.
