This week I began production of Project 1 a Low-poly Micro-production created in Maya. I first thought of what I wanted to make and I decided on some kind of ancient architecture would be my best option. With most ancient structures of the world being in some state of dilapidation some more extreme then others. I wanted to make a scene of something grand and not in any ruin. I gathered references from a key structure the Acropolis of Athens and created a mood board. With a solid idea of the scene I wanted to create, I began working on it in Maya. After 1 week I have completed 2 structures and some props including the mountain it sits upon. Still to be textured and lighted properly.
This week I learned the holistic assessment methods used to grade my works and progress. How to make and utilize a Learning Journal. The correct process for uploading assignments and how to use Google Drive. In class Mr. Banks went through the basics of using Maya. But I have been using it for a couple months now, though was a good refresher. His insight into Duplicate Special was actually greatly appreciated.
I will need to work on creating and applying the correct textures for my Micro-production as well as the lighting. Finish off the shape of the mountain and add some props to the scene where necessary.
