Maya Assignment: Week 01 - "Simple chair"

Chair

 This week we used Maya to make a simple chair
First I selected a cube from the list of polygons







We learnt how to transform which enabled us to stretch the cube in different ways to make the base. Then we learnt how to move the polygons so they were exactly in position geometrically.
Then I made four more extra chairs to experiment with different objects and connections such as cones and spheres

Baby Driver Story Analysis

Image
Our task this week was to do a story analysis on a movie of our choice. I decided to choose Baby Driver. Firstly we had to talk about the main character and give a brief detail about them and what happens to them in the story. Here I gave a summary of the story and how Baby changes throughout the story. Next we has to talk about the setting so I gave a short description on the modern day Atlanta and talked about how Baby spent his time there. For the second part we has to write about the different stages of the story and how the character develops from each stage. I also gave a description on what happens in the story at that point so you get a little bit of context about what made Baby feel the way he does and then in the next scene how hes changed. End summary: Overall I am pretty happy with my story analysis, I used some storyboard keywords like hook and also I am getting better at Photoshop. Next time I could possibly add more to the timeline for exa...

Maya coke bottle

Image
This week I made a bottle in Maya starting off with a single cylinder where I gave 5 axis divisions making it more of a pentagon shape. Next I inserted a coke image plane to model off. Next I selected all of the bottom 5 faces and extruded them, then from here I could turn off the feature that keeps the faces together and then increase the offset to separate them. Next I changed from the rough cube model to a more smoothed model by pressing 2 on my keyboard this was go to swap between the views later on when making the bottle . After removing the top I could select edges and extrude, here I could add bends to make it look more like the bottle. For more detail and ways to bend the model I also inserted more edges using the multicut tool which I could then extrude and transform to my liking. Next was the texturing where I chose a ocean shader and changed it to look like the coke color that was more of a brown color, here I could change the foam color and the ...

Pass, Merit, Distinction

Image
Bobby has a pass because he only used basic terminology and didn't use detail in order to get a merit. He had no spelling errors in the draft or the final thing, but the final thing was just the draft as he didn't edit it at all.  Rosie got a merit because she used generally correct terminology. In her draft she wrote many words wrong such as zombie "zombi" but she fixed these in her final, making her work a merit as well as explaining the nature and purpose. Zainab got a distinction for consistently using subject terminology correctly and also fixing lots of errors in his draft. In his draft he wrote you as "u" and also added a :) face at the end which is very unprofessional. He also went into massive detail to give him this grade. Mind Map
