Yesterday we were tasked to use basic primitives in Maya to make simple toys. I've never used Maya before, or wait, I think I've somehow made an apple in Maya once but I don't remember what or how I did. So, class started off with our teacher teaching (that's what they're for, yup!) us how to navigate in the program. He later showed us how to make, what was supposed to be, a space rocket but since he completed step 1 twice without noticing it (I believe the whole class DID notice it, though), his rocket ended up looking like male genitals half-way through. Entertaining!
When I got home I pondered what kind of toy I wanted to make, and I came up with the rocket from Tin-Tin (yes, copy-cat me, making a rocket as well...). I've always loved that rocket, it's so pretty.
I eventually managed to model something rocket-like but then I wanted color on it!? How the heck do you put color on this piece of crap, I thought. So I asked Micke and with his help I managed to bring color into the life of the miserable rocket (that, sadly, looks nothing like the one from Tin-Tin. At least I got the checkered pattern right!).
