Nick started the class by showing us new tools to create a hot air balloon which we had to export to Nuke, for making a composition. We didn’t make the hot air balloon right away, but we made a wine bottle and glass using EP curve tool, this tool works as a pen tool which can be used to draw a line. Following this, revolve is used to create a 3D shape of the line. The next step was to add glass material to the glass and the bottle. To make the wine, we just had to remove the outer face and keep only the inner face of the object and fill the hole with a deep water material.
We then made the hot air balloon using the same technique that we used for the wine. For the body and other parts of the hot air balloon we used extrude, bend, duplicate special, latisse, and then we applied the material.
