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.
