Exercise 1: Creating an object using only geometric primitives (Maya)


    
    For this first exercise I decided to make a simple pepperoni pizza. I used the geometric prism, flattened it and stretched the point to make the base of the pizza, then I squished multiple spheres to make the pepperoni slices, and finally, I used a cylinder which I scaled and stretched to be the pizza crust.  

    I decided to also include the four different views of my model above.

    Love the pizza! Very creative use of primitives to make the forms.

Class 9 Cinematography Exercise: Updated Fruit Bowl and 3-Point Lighting

Image
    For this week's assignment I decided to update my textures for most of my fruit in my fruit bowl model. I then set up a back wall and floor using NURBS planes and set up 3 spotlights to get some nice 3-point lighting with 1 acting as the main light, one the backlight, and the other a softer light. Only one light, the backlight, uses the default white color. I really like how this turned out and I plan to use this fruit bowl for my dinner table scene. I also have rendered images taken from 2 more angles below.     My goal for this assignment was to make a scene that would have some slight cool and warm tones, so the fruit bowl feels like it is in the same room as a fireplace or something else like that. I wanted the overall lighting to be softer and dimmer and I think I achieved the effect I wanted pretty well. I decided to update the textures and change the shader of  the oranges to make the fruit look more accurate. I will now describe what I did to get her...

Exercise 2: Complex NURBS model using primitive objects, components, transformations of objects and CVs, grouping (Maya)

Image
      For this exercise I thought that a flower would be a good idea to make and I am quite happy with the results I got. I used mostly primitive NURBS spheres and cylinders to create the flower. I grouped all the flower petals together and I used the CV's to manipulate the shape of the spheres I squashed with the scale tool to create the petal shapes. I also used this same technique to create the leaves of the flower. The stalks the leaves are connected to were created with cylinders that where scaled and then bend and manipulated with CV's. The stem is a cylinder that was also bent and tweaked with CV's. Below are the different perspective views. Maya NURBS Modeling Resources     rustyanimator.com has some nice and free full-length tutorials on YouTube and offers more courses that you can pay for and has a blog as well as a podcast that would be useful to anyone getting into animating with Maya.     turbosquid.com has a lot of really cool models...
