Exploring Color and Material Combinations

To start, let’s work on the easiest material – the four feet of the toaster. Using the Visualization tool, select the matte synthetic rubber material and apply it to the feet. You can change the color to suit your preference. Additionally, you can apply materials like brushed steel or brushed aluminum to the main body, giving it a sleek and stylish appearance.

Adding Materials to Individual Elements

For more customization, you can apply materials to individual elements of the design. Use the glossy ABS material for the buttons and select specific faces to apply aluminum or plastic material. Take your time when selecting faces to ensure you don’t accidentally select the whole object.

Exploring Different Material Combinations

To explore different variations, you can create a copy of the toaster and experiment with contrasting material combinations. For example, give the copied toaster a brushed aluminum material and colorize specific elements by applying a red and glossy material. This allows you to see how the body works with different colors and materials. The visualization process is simple and intuitive, making it easy to experiment with various combinations.

Creating Presentation Graphics

Once you’re satisfied with your design, it’s time to create a captivating presentation graphic. Start by drawing a small rectangle underneath the toaster and revolve it to create a base. You can delete the sketch afterward. Apply a default material to the base and select the individual faces, ensuring they complement or match the colors of the toaster. Be mindful of the manufacturability of the colors you choose.

Adjusting the Environment and Camera Angle

To enhance the presentation, you can adjust the environment by adding a basic color, gradient, or contrast. Additionally, you can customize the camera angle and lens to create a more dramatic effect. You can minimize the perspective for shortening by setting the camera to a low value. Experiment with different angles and rotations until you achieve the desired effect.
