Bolinger 69


The photoshop image of a Bolinger champagne bottle was saved as a BMP file and mapped onto a reference plane that was created in 3d max. The line tool was then selected and the parameters changed from Bezier vertex type to smooth. A profile of half the bottle shape is drawn out and the spline is closed. Hierarchy is selected and the adjust pivot point only icon is clicked on. The pivot point is then moved to the base of the shape to ensure that the lathe modifier rotates around the base of the bottle.
The lathe modifier is then selected from the modifier list and the bottle image appears revolved around the y axis.
A Bolinger text logo was also applied to the bottle image by using the text tool and gold was used for the text colour.
