Description
This was my first project for my 3D Modeling class. First time I ever worked with Maya. It came out fairly decent, in my opinion... but hey. Just my first time.I hate Maya. I am never working in it again (after this class).

How long did you have to work on it? It looks better than my first project in Max.

I spent a few hours on it. Like... three at home, and four to six in the lab-class sessions. So... too much time. XD It was kinda a two-week thing. First week was learning how to morph things. Second week was lighting and textures.

Sounds cool.
I wish I was learning what you were. So far in my Max class we've only learned how to build things, and just the basics of that. I feel like I'm so behind.

Well, you're on the semester system, right? So how many weeks do you have for a semester? We're only working on a ten-week trimester system, so every class is rushed. So you're probably not behind in retrospect.

We do semesters. I'm not sure how many weeks each one is, but I see what you mean. You're probably right.

Very dramatic. I can feel the angst. Haha.
I dunno...looks amazing to me. Especially for a first time ever with a program you hate. Mine would come out looking like a glossy MS Paint image.
I guess any and all things software have cheatin Jay-Nine logic. Haha.

Cheating for me? lol. SIKE. I clearly had the worst luck with that program out of the entire class? You want to use your side view? SIKE. All your views are now perspective views, and you can't change it and you can't scale your object and Maya hates you. You want to save your project onto your flash drive? Go ahead, plug it in. SIKE. Blue screen of death, restarting the computer. lolyoufail.
I hate Maya...

But I bet you got an A on it. Or a check plus. or whatever they give you. Know why?
Rhymes with heating canteen...then whatever word rhymes with logic. Lol.
I saw Anita the other day btw. She made me promise that one of us would call her the next time you come home.

Ah! Anita! I haven't seen her in forever. Do you know Tonima goes to school up here at University of Rochester. We were talking about meeting up last year, but never did because we didn't have cars. XD

Yeah I did actually. We had Munson's class together. Surprise surprise. Janine doesn't have a car and expects the other person to drive. Should totally hit you up for gas money. Lol.

I didn't expect anyone to drive me. Pshaw. But I am thinking about investing in a car this summer so I don't have to rely on anyone to take me food shopping. blargh.

How, pray tell, will you find the money to invest in a car?

You can try and lease one from IKEA. Haha.

I know how you feel, Maya is so backwards and hellish...

Maya sounds like a total nag.
And so does the program you're using. Good thing it turned out pretty good, though. Did you have to do all the techn-savvy anchor pointing and polygon mapping and stuff, or did they have some of those models premade?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, we used NURBS and shapes (like spheres, cylinders, and cubes), and manually morphed and mutated them until we got the shape we want. It takes too long to do it that way. We're learning polygons this week, so... I hope it's better.

Yeah, good luck with all that. Maybe the more you learn, the more you'll like it. You never know.
