The idea behind this small project was to create three props in the style of a game, that aren't yet in that game. The game I choose? Overcooked! 2
Toaster
At first, I wanted to make a microwave, a bread machine, and a toaster for my three props. The only one of those that stuck was the toaster, I ditched the other two, because they too were quite boxy, their shapes weren't that interesting.
Meat Grinder
I couldn't find a meat grinder in Overcooked, so I decided to take it upon myself to create one in 3D. I am especially fond of how round and smooth it looks (besides the face corners you can see) while maintaining a very low poly count.
This project had a cap of 6.000 faces in total, for all three models. Towards the deadline, I read the maximum face count as 600 instead, and tried removing faces, even though I only had ~700.
Chainsaw
Yes, you read that right, "Chainsaw". The idea came to be by my professor, who unironically suggested a chainsaw instead of the more boxy microwave or bread machine.
This model was the hardest of the three, it took me several tries to get the shapes right, and only after I actually held our chainsaw at home in my hands and looked it up close.
UVs
All three models should share one UVmap.
