This week we started getting more used to Maya and how to build items in the software. We started with a group tutorial of making a café, which went over the basics of maya e.g. how to copy, move, resize, move camera etc. This was helpful as I am new to the software and I had only used it for my Cactus so the refresher course was useful. For my café, I chose to try a space theme, based loosely off the Lego stars wars game cantina.

I decided to experiment with making this chair a little different from the others. I made it with just one leg, balanced in the middle, with a little tea tray coming off the side which you can put food on. I like the kind of space/ sci-fi design of this.

Finally, I added a conveyor belt type table for food to move along. I didn’t know how to add a lot of detail or texture as I’m still new to the software, but I was happy with this basic starting point.
