Robot's Workshop: Episode 60 - Cooking up a good "pun"!

 Okay, how many of you cook at home more often than ordering takeout? I tell you, I could cook up some nice scrambled eggs for any time of day. Maybe with a bit of sausage, or some actual bacon. A little bacon is good every now and then, but not a whole lot, knowing how regular bacon is pretty fatty. I'd recommend substituting it with turkey bacon. 

Tangent aside, I do indeed have a thing to show, and it was in fact pretty easy. I started off with a flat circle, then extruded a few times to get the general pan shape. In the center, replaced the faces with a Grid Fill, so the topology would look less funny. I made a few loop cuts, so I could then shape the liquid/sauce spouts you would see on a cast iron pan.

I used the Proportional editing feature to achieve that shape. For the handle, I extruded a few faces out and got a general shape that anyone could get a "grip" on. I even shaped the hole that you would see on frying pans. Either to hang or hold your spatula or spoon. Should look a little similar to this reference I pulled off of Google.

Hope you're following because this next one is so totally fun, and not at all a pain. UV unwrapping! I tried to use up as much space as humanly possible, but come on, this is ridiculous. I can't quite think of a better way to manage these UVs. Eh, it'll work, at least topology will be solid. But, let's just say the UV mapping didn't "pan" out.

For the texture, I had the genius idea of using a cloud texture on a brush to give it that cast iron look. It also works for rust!

Forgive me if my texturing is a little... "rusty".

I just got this at my local... Macy's. They have a nice selection
of cast iron pans.

So far, I'd say it went according to "pan". I definitely "skilled-it". The "steaks" were not too high. Also, these puns are "egg-celent". I hope no one is "drained" from these puns. Okay, that was the last one, it was getting "counter-productive".
