Week 3 Updates: Chapter 1 Finished, Chapter 2 in Progress

This week, I completed chapter 1 of the tutorial and began chapter 2. For chapter 1, I had no trouble creating each of the shapes (sphere, torus, and plane). After getting the scene set up and I moved on to animating the shapes, I was able to stop relying on the tutorial for the most part. I remembered from class how to select specific timestamps on the bottom and translate the ball to the given areas on the plane, and then set a key to indicate the ball's change in position. This part of the tutorial was fairly simple to complete and I was able to create the animation easily, but I got a bit more stuck on the second part of the tutorial. So far, I've successfully added the Persp/Graph layout and have finished up to step 4 of editing the shape of the curve. Step 5 is where I got a bit stuck because I've been trying to select only the first tangent handle by clicking and dragging a box around it, but whenever I try to it selects the entire thing even though I've done the "break tangents" step. I'm going to continue chapter 2 of the tutorial over the next few days and try to figure out what's wrong, but here are some screenshots of the end product of chapter 1, followed by a screenshot of the part I am up to now.

Week 9/10 Updates: New Additions

Image
I haven't had a lot of time the last two weeks to do anything major, but I have added some new things to my midterm project/animation. The first thing I wanted to was add a background to my scene, which I was inspired to do after seeing some other midterm projects. In the screenshot below, I added a cartoon-ish background and changed the color of the plane in the scene to match the background. I am still working on getting it to match and have it blend in better with the background, I might have to find another picture for the background because this one is sort of difficult to work with.  Another difference is that for last week's assignment, I've added a directional light to give the scene some sunlight and have it match the tone of the background better. I already had a spotlight in the scene as well but I've been playing around with its settings a lot to make the pond more realistic. The spotlight functions as a way to create a light blue circle on the plane which r...

Week 2 Updates: Reading, Tutorials, etc.

Image
The tutorials were pretty simple to understand for the most part, and helped me understand the basics of what to expect from working in Maya, such as how to move, rotate, scale your objects, etc. Although after reading through chapters 1-3 of "The Art of Maya" was a bit more complicated to understand, I definitely have a slightly better idea of what I'm looking at when I open the program. I was pretty overwhelmed using it for the first time, looking at all of the different features and several bars at the top, bottom, and sides of my screen. It's a lot to figure out and get used to, but having this e-book should help a lot with the process of getting used to it. I found the required pages of chapter 3 especially helpful, particularly the diagram shown on page 24. I even screen-shotted it and will put it in with this post so I can come back to look at it when I need help navigating the many different aspects of Maya.

Week 8 Updates: Midterm Reviews

All of the midterm projects turned out really well and were super interesting to look at! Specifically, I'm going to give some of my thoughts on Stephannie Sipaque's and Matt Borrelli's projects as these really stood out to me.  Stephanie: I really enjoyed this one because of how realistic and simple it looks, but there is actually a lot of great attention to detail when you look closer! The matching textures of the table and chairs, the shadows of the chair on the floor, the floor's tile pattern, and of course the fruit bowl and teapot are all very well done. All of these details make the overall scene very pleasing to the eye and I could see it being in a video game of some sort for sure. The only advice I have is about the plates, which already look great but can definitely have a bit more texture to match the rest of the scene just a bit better. I'm interested to see what else you do with the scene, because I think it could look really cool in action with some s...
