How I achieved this Ipod was by making a base layer using a cube shape and changing it to size. How I made my Ipod have curves around the edges giving it a smooth finish was by clicking the object tab and by ticking the Fillet box and fill in the fillet radius and fillet subdivision to the size I liked as shown below.
After I finished making the base of my Ipod I then changed the colour of it by clicking on the materials editor and clicking the tab NEW MATERIAL. When on this tab it allows you to add various effects such as colour, reflection, fog, material type, transparency and more. The screen shot below shows you what the tab looks like when opened.
When I completed the colour change and reflection I then wanted to add a texture making an Ipod screen so I opened up the texture tab and then looked for texture. I then clicked the drop down menu and looked for the image I wished to use. As you can see in the screen shot I used Ipod menu.JPG
After applying the two textures I then added some extra detail out of my own will to make the Ipod more realistic was to add a headphone slot. An Ipod without a head phone slot is not an Ipod right? This was done by selecting a tube on the shape selector and adjusting it to size by using the size adjustments on the right panel as shown in the screenshot below.
After making the Ipod headphone slot I then made a floor for the Ipod to rest on. This was easily made by make a "Plane" Object and positioning it where I wanted it.
After making the floor you now need to add a light source. On the top of the menu bar you will see a white star looking shape. Click that and you will be given a light to position anywhere on your work area. As you can see I am positioning it on the right.
Finally after I made the light source I rendered my work and this was the final result. A realistic Ipod created in Cinema4D.
