This is a Poly-thing. I
used this to try out lighting in Maya when I was first learning to use it. Here
I used spot light and a point light. The three of my point lights were my back
light, my key light that was in the front that had shadow, and the fill light
that filled in my shadow. I also put a light in the center of the Poly-thing to
brighten up the inside.
Here is a hammer that I have made in Maya. This project used a lot of extruding of faces and vertexes. To make the hammer head i had to extrude the top if the handle into a rectangle and then extruding more then add the claw by cutting the face and then making actual part that hammers.
When I made
this ice cream I had to use a lot of bump maps to actually make the ice cream
and the ice cream cone to look real. Making the movie loop like it does was
easy I just had to set the keyframes up so they would stop and start in the
same place.

I really enjoyed making this glass and vase using the Revolve tool in Maya. I made the outline of the glass and vase using Curves then the revolved it to make a full polygon.
This has
been one of my harder projects simply because I took an actual golf ball,
tennis ball, and bowling ball and dropped them from the same height and filmed
it. I them made these balls bounce just like the ones in the videos that were
taken of the real life ones.
Here for my
salt shaker I once again use the Curve tool but the circle curve tool to make
the saltshaker bottom, sides, and cap. I then used lofting to make the whole
thing an actual polygon.
