Model - Cards

Another model i have created is a pair of playing cards, the reason i choose to model these were because i am not very experienced with 3D studio max and this was my first attempted at modelling anything out of the tutorials. The reason i am going to use this in the trailer is because it shows that the film is actually themed around a game of poker and that the title "Casino Royale" is actually part of the film and not just a title. The image below is the design version of the cards -

This model was created by simply using two planes and then simply editting and manipluating the vertex to show the cards bending and as if they were being held by a player that was looking at them. Getting these cards to look as if a person was holding them was actually quite difficult as i had to experiment with cards myself and see how a person actually holds cards and how they look at them when they are on the table.

To get the faces of the cards i used Adobe Illustrator to create the look, such as the A's and the hearts. Once this was done i then used the Materails function to put the image onto the card, i then edited this using the UVM Mapping modifer, this allows the materail on a model to be moved and modifed.

Below is the rendored version of the card model -
