MY 🍔 ASSIGNMENTS in Maya
I crafted a 3D model of a fast-food meal from the AO Burger brand, a concept of my own creation. The meal is arranged on a wooden tray and features a hamburger, a side of fries, and a drink with a straw. The hamburger is designed to showcase the typical layers, such as buns with sesame seeds, a meat patty, cheese, lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. Next to the burger, there's a portion of fries in a red carton, some of which are spilling onto the tray, accompanied by a drink in a cup emblazoned with the AO Burger brand logo.
This 3D model was designed using Autodesk Maya. The textures, providing the model with a realistic appearance, were created with Adobe Substance 3D Painter, an application for producing textures for 3D assets.
