Form

whilst developing the final designs and fixing the odd small barely noticeable feature, i take extreme notice of form and shape. though my design is curved and all smooth with no sharp edges, it will b a polybased guide when i develop it in 3DSMAX 

basic cutlery shapes and forms are shown below, gathered from brief research in imagery.

 i like the bends and flowing shape to this set, its very interesting, as the knife is normally a good deal longer than the other pieces.

 

This isnt the form or even the size im aiming for, however the material is very similar to what ive been developing my ideas around. this very shiney reflective but not too slippery looking metal would be desirable for my cutlery set.

Though at this point my designs no longer have any indents or grooves alike this, these slots would be very interesting o model on 3DSMAX and i may incorporate something like it ino my next 3DSMAX project.

This is very similar to what the basic shape will be to begin with on 3DSMAX before i smooth everything over. the deep base and extrusions is what im aiming for.
