Beginning 3D Animation (Summer 2012)

I started this class with no prior knowledge of 3D animation and the software used.

Project 01 - (Missing)
Objective: to create an abstract cityscape using basic, geometric blocks and to become familiar with the Maya interface.

Project 02 - Bioform
Objective: to create an abstract object, and to become familiar with the basic elements used in modeling
Bioform - Abstract Model
beginning modeling, leaning the basics to extruding
Bioform - continued
basic 3-point lighting used to highlight object







Project 03 - Final: Automaton
Objective: to create an animation using the basic modeling techniques; blinn and ambert matirials; basic lighting; and parent-child constraint.


The final specs to Archy and Fly's designs.
Complete design and creation, 2012 by Alexandra M. Guerin
Archy watching his fly friend
His curiosity is shown without facial expression


The Breakdown: Archy sees a fly go by.  He is happy and dances. He notices that he has wings too. He tries flapping the wings, but doesn't fly. He becomes sad.
