About the project

Even before I started working as a 3D artist at Gloss Postproduction in Hamburg, I was asked to build this Nivea cream dispenser as a 3D model. The only reference provided was the original bottle — nothing more. I took numerous photos of the bottle and tried to precisely measure every angle to reproduce the shape as accurately as possible. The modeling was done entirely in Maya. The particular challenge was the dispenser head — getting the shape clean without dents turned out to be more difficult than expected. A friend helped me here until the surface was perfectly smooth.
