The current project for my 3D design course is to create candy and a package for said candy. We will be animating it in such a way that it might be used for a commercial. I have decided to do MineCraft themed hard candies in a chest-shaped box. It's nowhere near done, but I will be posting images here along the way, just in case anyone is interested!

First render of candies

First render of the box (still need to add printed "texture" image to side panels)


Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I making a tragic mistake in not including any particular food? Should the chest get the texture, or stay with its current flat colors?

I would love to, but I'm still trying to figure out how to actually get his attention. I'm sure the poor fellow gets 400 emails a day with the subject: "★★★MY AMAZING NEW MINECRAFT-RELATED IDEA★★★"

Mayhaps I should send him a physical mock-up? Of course, then I'd have to find his actual address...

Yup.

If you would like to see these made, you can help the idea get noticed here.

First animation render:

Things to do:
  • Change that awful, awkward reflection
  • Add candies
  • Make breaking animation longer?
  • Somehow show the cardboard box for longer

Haha, I would hope they wouldn't actually make beef and fish taste realistic. I was thinking of blue raspberry for fish, root beer for beef, strawberry for melons, cherry for apples, and cotton candy for golden apples.

As for bread, I just didn't think it would look all that great in the style of the candies. *shrugs* I guess maybe in the next update.

I think it probably all depends on the computer, but at the school's Mac lab, it's pretty reliable. It's crashed once or twice on me, but to be honest, I was messing around and probably pushing it too hard when it did. It tends to autosave right before crashes, and boots fast, and renders fast, which really shocked me.

Never used it, I;ve heard it mentioned a couple of times though, let's be fair 3Ds Max is a ***** to use I like Cinema 4D for it's simple GUI and easy to find things, is Modo reliable? My C4D crashes.. a lot

Luxology's Modo. Fantastic program, I've found it to be the easiest of all I've used (Blender, 3DS Max.) The reflections should be simple enough and will really look nice when animated, thanks for the idea!

Blender?

Keep the chest the same color(s), maybe add a slight reflection to the "chrome" areas (I use Cinema 4D so it might be different depending on what you use)
