I have created several props that the characters of my animation will use and hold throughout points in the animation. The first is a collection of bottles that are on display on a shelf in one of the later scenes. In the context of the film these bottles contain Oil since the characters of the world are robots. The bottles have been modelled to mimic the bottles of alcohol that are on display in bars and pubs behind the bartender.
Another prop that i have created is the laser gun the main charcter and the villains will wield. The creation of the laser gun is inspired by the traditional science fiction laser pistol in games such as Fallout and 1950's science fiction movies.
To create this prop, the first thing i did was create a 2D drawing that showed the pistol from the side. This allowed me to then take a cube and add several edge loops and vertices. This then allowed me to drag the vertices to match the image.
When this was done, the resulting image was a low polygon version of the laser pistol which in my opinion didnt look too pleasent to look at. To fix this, i used the smooth button to round out the edges to make it more smooth. This however adds many vertices which would increase the render time significantly however i feel the smoothness is at a good place for a prop that will be seen but not in detail.
