3D Maya Modelling

We started with a tutorial from YouTube to make a simple Barstool.

And did the texturing for it.

Then we had to 3D model an office chair.

I started off with a simple block and resized it into shape. Then used 'Insert Edge Loop' tool equally separated to 4 parts.

Then I selected the bottom face and extruded it to make the bottom part.

And compressed the face down again to make the block thinner.

Then I used 'Insert Edge Loop' tool again but this time separated equally to 2 parts.

Then I selected each inserted edge and beveled them.

I selected the beveled face and compressed them to make the creases.

I resized the chair to fit with the size needed.

Then I made the handle, using the soft selection tool and bending it into a curve.

I did the same with the bottom part of the handle, extruding and bending it into shape.

I then positioned them together to the required shape.

And grouped them.

Then I made the chair leg with the same techniques. Using the 'Insert Edge Loop' tool, selecting faces, extruding.

I made the wheel with the same techniques too. The top part was made with bending with the soft selection tool and extruding faces. And the wheel itself is just a low poly cylinder resized into shape.

Then, I repositioned each wheel into the leg of the chair.

For the bottom air pressure of the chair, I used a low poly cylinder and selected the top face of the cylinder and extruding it.

Instead of pulling up the extruded piece, I resized it into a smaller face.

Then I extruded out the face and did the same thing for the slightly bigger piece on the top.

I then reposition everything to fit it into a chair figure.

And textured it.

Then we had to design a weapon for Syndrome from The Incredibles.

This are my sketches for the weapon design.

After shaping a cylinder into a bullet form, I rotated it and fixed it to two pieces of blocks.

Then I formed the top part and used a soft selection tool to turn it into a point.

I then made the tube and used the mirror tool to make two of it.

The energy ball is just a simple sphere.

I then textured it too.

Then we had to model a robot.

Sadly, I don't have the screen shots of the steps I took to build this.

I textured this too.

I even had to model Astro Boy.

Lastly, I created my own robot.

I did some sketches, but my final product wasn't the exact same as my sketches.

Again, I forgot to show the process I did with the modelling, but this was a screen shot of when I was trying to texture the robot's stage.

This is the final product.

I really liked the glow the robot gave after rendering.
