MCR Week 2 Still Life

I thought last week was tough, but this second week has got my head spinning. We had to choose three model to create from reference photos. They were mostly 3/4 view and we had to get them as close as identical as we could. This would have been easy with more usable references but these were some complex models to a newcomer like me. We also started UVing our models also this week. One major lesson I learned was to add edge loops after UVing the model. That was a nightmare to UV all those surfaces.The models I chose were to help me with my weaknesses in areas like curves and scale.

We had the option to model a fourth object for extra credit but my time was vastly short. Between working a full time job with deadlines and homework it was impossible for me to start and finish fourth. Maya still exhibits a personality of its own but I am getting used to it now. I use the Edge loop tool a lot more along with the Knife tool. Modeling is still quite challenging but I will press on and get better.
