Tuesday and Wednesday we jumped back into Autodesk's Maya. We reviewed how to create, move, rotate and scale forms. In addition, we learned how to use vertex's to manipulate forms into new shapes. Students learned the difference between Polygon and NURBS forms and how the manipulate differently (Rigid vs. Smooth). The students also explored more of the Maya interface by learning what the Perspective and 4 view are as well as how to use the keyboard and mouse to move the view around the screen.
Once class tutorial was over, students were put to a contest. Who can make the best car. Using the small amount students have learned so, they will create, manipulate and move forms together to create a complete car. The winner (voted on by classmates) will win a prize!
Students will have the rest of Tuesdays/Wednesdays class to work on their car, as well as the next class period.
Also- Today we started our daily ARTiFacts! The first one is listed below.
