🟥The instructor starts with basic shapes and manipulates them to achieve the desired look.
🟥The instructor also includes tips on using tools like beveling and extruding to refine the models.
🟥The final step involves grouping and arranging the objects to create a scene.
- Workflow
In this class, we’ll be going more in detail with the objects that we’ve placed in our isometric room during our block-out phase.
You can make the objects as simple or as detailed as you want.
We’ll start off with the barrels, and isolate one of the barrels so we can work on it better.
Select the front and back faces, extrude them once inward on their offset and another time going inside the barrel itself.
Add a multi-cut in the middle and bevel it into multiple segments to create the shape of the barrel.
Select the first and last edge in the middle of the barrel and bevel them so we can add another edge next to them.
Select the face loop and extrude it to create the metals around the barrel that are keeping it together.
Select all the edges that are holding the form of the barrel and bevel them with 2 Segments.
We want to keep the form of the barrel the way it is even in the Smooth Preview.
Select the faces on the front of the barrel and extrude them inward to create the tap of the barrel.
Move the extruded faces down using the move tool.
Extrude those same faces forward two times.
Rotate the faces 90 degrees and move them down.
Select the face loop in the middle and delete them.
Select the two edge loops and bevel them with Blend turned on.
Add more divisions to the blend to create the curve and change the Direction Target se to +.
Select the faces below, extrude the offset, and extrude the faces again inward.
Select all the edges on the tap and Soften them.
Add a multi-cut in the middle of the tap and bevel it with 2 Segments.
Select the second edge of the row and bevel that one again with 2 Segments.
Select the 4 face loops and extrude them outward.
Select the 4 middle faces of the extrusion and circulate them.
Use the Twist to move the circle in place so it isn’t crooked.
From the side select the three faces in the middle of the circle and lift them up using the snapping method by holding down V and using the move tool.
Extrude the circular faces outward and flatten the surface by using the scale tool.
Select the outside edge and bevel them.
Add a multi-cut on the bottom and select two faces from each side to extrude.
Flatten the side faces by selecting the edge in the middle from each side and using the scale tool to flatten them inward.

Select the edges on the tap, deselect the ones on the side, and smooth out the edges.
Now that we are done with our barrel we can replace the blockout cylinders with the modeled barrel we’ve just made.
We can add a cube below the barrels so that there is something to hold onto them and prevent them from rolling and moving around.
Add a cube, scale it in length, and place it below the barrels.
Duplicate the cube and place it in the front and back.
We can also replace the big cylinder on the wall with our modeled barrel.
We don’t want anything sticking out of the walls so we can delete half of the faces of the barrel and only have the front part with the tap visible.
For the cabinet behind the bar, add two multi-cuts, select the edge loops and bevel them.
Select the edges all around the cabinet and bevel them with 2 Segments.
Select the two top faces and extrude them inward.

Select the top faces and extrude them out, and scale down the same faces to create a taper shape.
Keep extruding and scaling down the faces till you make the neck of the bottle.
Once the neck is done, select all the edges from the bottle except the bottom and top ones and smooth the edges.
Select the top faces and duplicate them.
Move up the duplicate faces so they’re not in the way.
Select the top faces again of the bottle and delete them.
