WHOOPAAH

I know its on a black background, but I'm playing around with fluid effects in Maya and this is what I came up with. I'm getting quite into this now. Can't believe I've been tring to put it off, what a fool I've been. Really enjoying this software, Maya is definitely creeping up to Max now, anyway I think I will defintiely be using this in My Pirate Camp, as I've also animated it to change as clouds do. Determination is the key. 

A Palm Tree

I know it looks like lego, but this is completely made in Maya. The trunk is just a cylinder with a bend deformer and extruded faces. I'm starting to get used to the Maya interface now, and work is progressing quicker. I think I'm going to try and make everything in Maya, practice makes perfect!

HAH MAYA

I'm winning!! So I began to modellling my pirate scene in 3ds Max, (cheating I know). Anyway Andy came over and soon put me back on the right track and told me how important it was to use Maya. Well the quick chat did the trick and from just being able to create a sphere and box, to now having learnt how to use the 'create polygon tool', 'extrude', 'interactive split tool', and 'Bend' tools succesfully in just under a few hours. HAH! oh and not forgetting the importance of deleting construction history. Anyway really pleased myself as there are no tutorials online about how to make a palm tree, I figured it out myself, best achievement of the day. Well anyway going to carry on with the trunk of the tree now.
