Week 01 - Basic Shapes

 

I have no formal art training and I've always hated drawing, so I was dreading this assignment. However, I really like the wizard frogs I created! I wanted all of them to have similar facial expressions, just in different shapes. I don't consider myself very talented when it comes to art, so this was a struggle for me. I was a bit nervous to use any sort of shading or light seeing as I don't have the formal training on it. Regardless, I think my frogs came out pretty alright and I think they're pretty cute!

Module 1 Week 01 - Basic Shapes

 

    This was my very first time ever using the Arnold render in Maya! I'm not super proficient with Maya, so this was super helpful to learn the basics and to understand some of the hotkeys that Maya has. While I have modeled in Maya before, I wasn't aware of the all of the hotkeys and I've never messed with the lighting or even attempted to render anything. Excited to see what else I make in Maya!
