Making The Sunflower Fountain

Modeling The Chair and painting
The chair you see on your left was actualy a couch. Its the couch that stands in my living room. I bought it for 25 euro 6 years ago. I love this couch and that is why i wanted to make a model of it. The Baroc kind of painting was made with displacement mapping applied to a simple 3D mesh. The picture on the painting is The Sunflower Fountain. The Center piece of this work of art.


Spiderwebs and snail
The Spiderwebs were pretty easy cause the alpha of an spiderweb is just white and a little bit grey. So you don’t have to paint out a lot of by yourself. If you copy the layer were the black and white contrast is the greatest you can use that as your alpha and there is your spiderweb. The creation of the snail was pretty hard. I already took a photoshoot of a snail a few months before i started the sunflower fountain, so i could pick textures of the macro photo’s i took and they where great for painting the snail. The displacement map was pretty hard, it was almost always too bumpy, a snail has a very soft bump mapping, bud in the end it was good enough for the scene to use it. I wanted to make the snail very realistic so i could make a angle of him so i could use him in his own individual scene.
