Class 5

Class 5

Wow yeah, been in class 5 times and really need to get this program mastered better and I say that now because of that test the teacher gave. I can honestly say I knew how to do it and getting done fast was not part of my plan. I figured out why my merge was a big failure too. OK here is what I mean buy the way, but before that lets take a good look at Shanna's failed homework.

You see that. I didn't get to merge my pipes.... I want to say I didn't know how, but I do. It all stems off of me being lazy and not truly figuring it out. I know my cube rocks because that is a no brainer. My cube and sphere almost there, but used way to many subdivisions and didn't use a handy tool that I need to use more. Edge loop tool!!!!! My joystick would have loved that tool and would have rocked with it... I believe I will retackle this and rock it :) Have to give a update when done.

INCLASS SNOWMAN

This is what I had to make. See how all the spheres look smoothed when they are connected. That is what every smooth needs to look like. ((From the picture you can see that I got it)) That is what needs to happens

The problem I was having is when I was deleting faces I was not seeing I left to lines of faces that need to go on the middle one and a line on the top. So when merge nothing was happening thanks to that fact and this is the snowman I was coming up with.

To a untrained eye it looks just like the other one, but it is not. It has that nice line going right through it. That is why it fails at life. I am going to say this now,  I need to stop over thinking. That is where I failed right now in this test of my skills! PLUS I NEED TO USE MAYA MORE!!!!!

Building a Plane

Now that the class got in trouble for being lazy pieces of crap and needed that kick in the ass to move along in your progress of master Maya. We built a plane. I will only highlight not give step by step how too, because I feel you should be there to learn it. I also feel if you know how to do it you don't truly need to know it.

Basically you start with one cube (yes one) and you add more to it. Then you change sizes and extrude here and there and you get this.

This picture shows you the basics of the plane before smoothed and where my plan started to take a nose dive to being a piece of trash. You see that wing that looks like it is starting to take shape into a sharp knife, well instead of just lengthening it added well a extrude to it... And yes you know what comes next I didn't do shit with it and it fucked up my final costing me headaches and time wasted. SO WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING!  Here are the other images at the work moves forward into completion.
