The Chair Project

Ok so the last Maya lesson we were carrying on with our chair project and well I don’t really have too much to say about the chair. Through doing this project I have gotten a bit quicker at using Maya and got a lot more comfortable with the tools. We also finished off the lighting and did some rendering and it shows how important the lighting is when it comes to how your render finally looks. I have to say that the biggest help was when James showed me how to go about modelling a head which was so interesting to watch. I haven’t yet modelled my own character and never really knew which way to go about but having that little bit of direction has really helped and I have now started creating my own character. It is definitely the most difficult thing I have tried to model but it was great giving it a try as I have learnt from it and know how I would do it different in the future. I am really keen to use Maya a lot more as I feel I’m only going to get better through practice, so most probably going to be using it on my first project.
