Learning Maya

Restarting an old project for the purpose of learning Maya. Although my 3rd year projects will mainly consist of 3D environments learning Maya through character modelling will help me understand the program and be able to incorporate that into my work. Having learned 3dsmax last year a lot of this feels familiar and with a better interface. I am using the old pictures I used for my Ninja Turtle projects to see how I have progressed since doing it the first time.

Robot movement example

This is an example of robot movement from the japanese anime "The order to stop construction". The robot in this film is very unstable and its character is clear through its twitching motions as it looks like it could break down at any moment. These are possible movements i could incorperate into my robot as is a good way of making the viewer beleive it is real and has character.

I have now finished modeling the king, queen and pawn chest pieces. I will continue to practice these and re do them if neccesary but I am now going to model the rest of the pieces to have a complete set.
