This week we created thumbnails for character and environments. I worked specifically on character thumbnails. I used the low poly mesh that Matthew Trupiano created in Maya for a base pose.

Here I dabbled a little in the environment,.

3D Class Week 10 Creating A Medium Complexity Character Part 01 GameRes Model and UV's

 This week we worked on created the medium complexity model of the starfish in Maya. First we created a low-poly mesh for the starfish. Next we created low-poly meshes for our props. I created a helmet that would act as a fish bowl and a funnel to replenish clean water. My idea being that the starfish might not be able to survive outside of water for long.

I used the bonus tools for Maya to unwrap the uvs.
