3D Imagery: Mortar and Pestle

DIGITAL STILL-LIFE


The most recent project I've made in Blender, this is a simple arrangement of a mortar and pestle, modelled off a real one I received as a gift. The granite stone form and textures are a convincing material in a digital world. These tools become more than their physical emulation, they become the idea that a tool like the mortar and pestle represent in culture. It is a tool that combines and creates, and perpetually becomes a creation in itself.




Someone else designed this mortar and pestle, but I created a version of it that exists in a digital plane. These are two of the final renders, showing the final touches on perspective and lighting that make an image more convincing as a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional model from a program.
