Applied Animation: Do it Yourself

For the second part of this task I had to create a 3-D object of my choice using the sills I had learnt in the previous session using Maya. At the time my mum was playing on Nintendo DS so I decided that I would give it a shot, a I felt that the shapes were quite simple to figure out, but at the same it would give me a challenge as there were so many.

I found it really easy to begin with and I was quickly making progress on the model at a steady pace. I found it surprisingly easy to use the tools that I ha learnt the other day despite the fact that I hadn't familiarized myself with them beforehand. I must admit that I did struggle with the smaller details within the model, but I soon figure a way around it and was able to make them with little frustration. 

There are some obvious things missing from this model because I couldn't figure out how to do it, and being at home, I couldn't seek out the help I needed. Having said this I still think it looks pretty good. But I'd really like to develop my skills in Maya further, as I had a lot of fun making this object.

Overall, I am really pleased with my outcome and I feel that I have managed to successfully carry over the skills that I learnt in last weeks session. I feel confident that I will be able to continue to use this program and I feel that with more practice I will be able to create more detailed objects.
