Maya Still Life

Another class that I started in my second semester was an intro to Maya class. The first project here was to set up and photograph a still life and model, texture, and light it in Autodesk Maya. I was pretty happy with my glass shader but in retrospect, the whole thing just looks silly.

The Elements

Our first assignment in our new Experimental Animation class was to animate the elements fire, smoke, and wind, then combine them. I used a few different lighting techniques and production techniques as well. The only requirement was that it had to be shot on the lunch box, other than that, we had free reign.
