I believe it was fairly straightforward to model my Bible verse jar. It was a gift from my friend and it sits on my desk and it has a lot of meaning to me, so it was something that I could do.
At first, I was a little confused on how to make the jar clear, but I eventually figured it out. Essentially, it is a small, clear jar, with a cork top. However, I wasn’t quite able to figure out how to add the label on my jar. I tried by adding sketches and extruding, but it didn’t seem to work. Also, the material (cork) was something I wasn’t able to find.
Since I couldn’t find the cork material, I resorted to making the cork cover wood. I figured that since it was brown, I could at least make the color look similar even if that meant giving up the accuracy of the texture. That being said, it was more important for me to focus on appearance of the actual jar.
I believe that 3D modeling can me used as a way for humans to reconnect with items or places that are valuable to them. For example, say someone lost an important artifact. If they have decent memory (assuming they know how to 3D model), then they can recreate the artifact and potentially print it as well. It obviously won’t hold the same value, but it’s a way to cope and a way to bring back the love for what once was.
It might be a simple tip, but a tool I wish I had discovered earlier in my process with Fusion was the appearance one. There were so many options when it came for me to make the jar clear. I appreciated how detailed the options were for the type of glass I wanted.
