In Today’s class, the first one of this module, we mainly looked over the module handouts and the overview of the course. For the second half of the class, we looked at how to use the 3D modelling software, Maya. I have no experience in 3D modelling, and despite having tried Alec’s cactus model tutorial I was feeling confident in my abilities to create anything on my own. I also haven’t been able to actually be physically in class, due to people in my household catching covid.

The first scene I tried to create was for the table prompt, I tried to create some sort of outdoor cafe, like the tables that are sat outside restaurants or cafes. It was basically created just by using different primitive shapes, with no more complicated methods like extruding because I don’t think I’ve got the hang of how to effectively use them, or when to. I also haven’t added any textures or colour to it, because I was eager to move on.

It’s not very complicated or particularly well put together,  but I don’t completely hate it because I’m too inexperienced to expect much better at the minute.
