First Week of 3DF

 I just completed my first week of my 3D Foundations class and I am quickly becoming comfortable with the Maya interface. I completed activities that tested my ability to use basic tools in the program and even began to block-out objects that I will be modeling later in the course.

The project I am most proud of this week is my bottle stopper block-out. This object had a lot of curves which made it particularly challenging. For the top of the stopper I started with a sphere and figured out which shapes recreated the tip through trial and error. The middle of the stopper was the hardest to figure out because of its unique curvature. In order to solve this problem, I created multiple cylinders and manipulated the vertices to create the desired shape. This project took about 2 hours to complete and I am very proud of what I was able to accomplish. Pictures of the model are featured below.
