NEXT-GEN Nescot week 9 - Fidget spinner (Maya)

During week nine we were tasked with creating a fidget spinner by modeling it in MAYA. For my fidget spinner, I began creating a quarantine symbol and adding a ball bearing in the middle and a ring to show the quarantine symbol.
After doing this, I copy and pasted each side to be identical before texturing the first layer of the design and I decided to add blunt blades to the corners of each side.

Once I had textured the sides, I textured the ball bearing with the quarantine symbol I used for inspiration and I re-added the sides by pasting them and making them smaller to look like an inner curve to the outer curve, I textured these red.
Next I textured the blades to look silver and added an extra layer to the inner circle by using the same tactic as the sides.


Afterwards, I added a texture to the circle surrounding the ball bearing and small bearings (spheres) connecting them together.
Finally, I added rings around the outer cylinders (weights) and textured them with silver. Then I used the Boolean "difference" to create holes in the fidget spinner to give it a more clean look.

Overall I believe I did well, however, if I could go back and change anything I would have added an animation to the fidget spinner so that it would spin.

Character design draft / ideas : (Toxic Jungle) week 9

During week nine we were tasked with creating a toxic jungle scene. While I have not completed the entire scene, I have begun by creating drafts and ideas for possible elements used within the final adaptation of the toxic jungle in a post apocalyptic manner.

For this image I used a "WAC-OM tablet" during the creation of it. I started by creating an outline of a person. After doing this I began sketching an opposite facing side of the same person. After doing this, I started drawing around the two drawings to show possible ways of creating the characters appearance. Doing this helped me to pick the best appearing drawings to add to the character's face and body, for example I added a hood instead of a bandanna, and I made a scar across the cheek of the character's face.

Overall I believe that this drawing is very good and I will be using the character in my final design (as a background character).
