I think my teachers are obsessed with spheres

Not to long ago I worked on a project for class where, surprise; we made balls bounce in 3d. When working on this, I put 3 videos on my desktop, of three different balls. I used Photoshop to mark the frames and height of each ball. I then created 3 balls in Maya, each with different sizes. I then applied materials, textures and bump maps for each. I then applied the frames and height of each ball to my animation. I tried rendering each frame, but I couldn't figure it out so, what I could get is shown below.

Snow

I was recently working on a project where I had to make snowflakes. I made them with a tool that creates polygons. I then used that tool to make half of part of a snowflake, mirror it, and duplicated it to make it. I did this six times, with each having different designs. Then I made them 3d objects. After that I made each one soft and applied a bump map to each. I was going to make an animation out of it, but I ran out of time. My results are below.

movie trailer

Last quarter, we were tasked with making a movie trailer. My team decided to do one called "the life of a wallflower," or something similar to that. We first recorded all the scenes and then began to edit the scenes together. I was tasked to make the blooper reel. It was much harder than you would think, as there were not many good ones. I managed to find the best ones, and strung it together. One of the things I would have changed, is I would have wanted to edit it a bit more to make it all work better.

Salt and cup

Recently i worked on a project where I was tasked to make a salt shaker and cup. I have yet to do the cup but I get the gist of how it will work. When working on the salt shaker, I learned how to use nurbs and create polygons. When I was almost done, I made a mistake and made holes in the model, so I had to artificially patch the holes.

hammer

So I have been working on a hammer in Maya. First I made a rectangle and then made another rectangle. After that I cut the back of the second rectangle, moved the vertices and then I squished it. Finally I made the head and added textures. This is the result.

Music video

Recently, I was assigned to make a music video. We got split up into multiple teams, where we would  decide on what to do. We ended up doing a song called try. First we worked on the story board and film scape. Those were easier to do. Then we had to find volunteers to be part of the cast. I was the one who filmed, which took about 3 hours to finish. Finally we edited, and uploaded the video. Overall, the project was enjoyable and the people in it were great.

ONW now project

This project was a weird one. I haven't been given an outline for this to follow, so ill just give a synopsis of how we finished it, as well as my role in it. We were split into two different groups, and we each did the same thing. We started by coming up with the stories we would use. We then recorded the intro. All the people who were recording stores went out to record them, and I stayed here since I was part of production. we did a few run-throughs. and then actually recorded. After that we were finally done.
