Final Lighting

Today I finished the lighting project from a few days ago. I had to add a rim light and adjust the positioning of the first spotlight. I also fixed the camera positioning. I tried to make the shadow more prominent, but I can't say that I was successful, but I'm satisfied with the results.

More Lighting

Today I worked on lighting in Maya. It went fine, though I would rather work on my big project. Basically I just filled in some shadows. No major difficulties.

Lighting

Today I owrked on lighting and rendering in Maya. I don't really like the way it turned out. It was pretty difficult. I couldn't get my object to cast a proper shadow because of its bulkiness, but I tried my best. The positioning of the camera and lights was pretty easy. I'm not sure what I did icorrectly, but I know that I messed up somewhere. Even with my mistakes, I believe it turned out alright.

Color!

Today I started to color my digital painting piece. It's going pretty well so far, as I'm starting with the less detailed bits. I'm quite excited to see what it's going to look like when it's finished.

Research

Today I've decided to revamp my idea for my big project. I'm focusing more on digital painting, and I have a lot of work to do. High hopes for the future.

Sparkiling Grape Juice Glass

Today I made a glass of sparkling grape juice in Maya. It wasn't too hard, although I had a bit of trouble with the axis point moving, and I think it came out pretty well. I like how it turned out quite a bit. It was fun to make.

Glass Vase Design/ Big Project Progress

Today I designed a vase in Maya. It was pretty easy, and I like the way it looks. The tool used to make it is quite simple, and I look forward to putting it to further use in the future. I also worked on my big project and made a lot of progress there. I'm in the painting stage and it's nearly finished.

Boolean Designs 2

Today, I did more experimentation with the boolean tool in Maya. It was very easy, and I'm satisfied with how it turned out. I had no difficulties.

Boolean Designs

Today I worked with Boolean designs. They were pretty easy, but quite repetitive. I think I did pretty well with this one. The biggest problem I had was beveling errors, but nothing too extreme.
