Week 1

In this weeks lecture we discussed using Maya over 3DS Max because the industry currently prefers Maya due to it having different pros and cons that are more suited to the industry.

During the practical we created a ships wheel in Maya using different techniques that were explained to us, such as starting by creating a cylinder and dividing it into 6 faces to then create more cylinders off the edges of the original cylinder.

After this we created a more complicated but simple house to use in our games or further projects. We used the bevel and extrude function to create the house. We had to select edges and create them into joined areas so that we could extrude them to make the houses areas more defined this entire building started from one block.
