Week 3 – 3D Digital Lit – Texturing and 3D Mapping
During this weeks class we learned how to UV unwrap and texture in Maya. Immediately I wasn’t a huge fan, but it was easy enough to follow the steps in class with some help from the lecturers. For this weeks homework I did the Interceptor – Mainly I used the extrude tool to […]
