Helmet

Today I finished the deformers and the egg head.  I started on the helmet to day and I was getting confused on how to make the helmet go into the dual view.  The helmet looks cool and I really want to start it because I have seen what other people have made and it was really cool.  I uploaded all the stuff that I finished today previously.  I think that the helmet will be easy though.

FINISHED: Deformers

I finished the deformers.  It was awkward at first then it became easy after the first few times of finding where all the items were and what to click.  I found it really cool, but I don't know how I could use this in Maya.

Deformers

Today you taught us how to deform stuff.  This was cool because of the designs that you can make.  I only got to make the bend tool and I made a really cool logo.  It looks like it can be a company's logo so I should trade mark it.  When you would bend the cubes it would make the cool shapes like a circle on both sides or something like that.  I would have been finished with egg head and been half way to through the salt shaker.

Egg project

So I started the egg project today and I have to say that I think that this will be a good project because this is the first time I will finally get to put my say in the project.  I have completed the cup and I measured the cup so that the egg would fit inside of the cup perfectly.  I have not yet begun on the face of the egg, but it is simple and I will be able to finish the egg tomorrow.

FINISHED: 8 Beveled Blocks/w Smooth blocks FINISHED

          I finished this today really easily because I already had some of it done the class before.  After you do it 8 times, you start to learn how to do it easily.  I feel like I learned this skill to do it to other objects and other projects.  This is my best learned skill of Maya because of how easy it is.  I didn't have any problems, but I did accidentally overwrote on it when I tried to open it up.  

8 Blocks

I did not get to finish my blocks because I was having trouble with the instructions.  They were wrong and I had to figure our the right numbers to get it to work and look right.  I will be able to finish this next class and start on a new project.  I am behind right now but I think I can catch up.

FINISHED: Squid Thingy

          I finished the squid thing.  This was painful because the steps were so easy, but I would mess up on something.  When I finally got done with the first 2 lines it started to become easy.  I think that I could do this to make some kind of mural that can go into a park.  It would look cool and it would be easy to make a cool design on the computer.  I think Maya isn't the mess that I once thought it was.  It is starting to be easy to make cool stuff.

FINISHED: Temple

I finally finished my temple.  This was the hardest project that I had to do.  I had so many computer problems and I could not find half of the stuff that I needed for the project.  I don't feel like I had learned anything during this project because I was just following instructions.  It all turned out well thought.  I do have duplicating questions, but I feel like I will learn how to solve the problem that I am having.

3D Graphics and Animation

This is my blog for the class.  I joined this class because I did the computer graphics class and I loved it.  The only problem was that it wasn't what I wanted to learn.  I wanted to learn the 3D stuff and create cool stuff.  I hope to achieve the skills necessary to be able to take this program home and create something on my own.  I saw that avatar was created with this software and I thought that it was amazing that they created such a good movie with a simple software on the computer.  I also took the advance portion of this class next semester to have the chance to master this software.
