Today I started work on the SkillsUSA Major Assignment for Animation II. So far I just started working on some possible 3D designs for mushrooms. I have this really basic one so far, which I’m planning on adding finer details to. What I am going to be doing for the next few days is make …

SkillsUSA Major Project: Preplanning 5
Today, I’ve gotten some more stuff done on my pre-planning for this SkillsUSA assignment. I’ve started to make the template on our Project’s Notebook, and I’m focusing this entire week to working on it since we have a lot we need to do for this week, and technically every other week after. So far I’ve …
SkillsUSA Major Project: Preplanning 4
Today, I was able to create a little basic scene based on what I’m envisioning for our SkillsUSA Project in Maya. What I did was that a created a small little box and creating a placeholder scene of what my final project should hopefully look somewhat like. I tried to create a placeholder shadow effect …
SkillsUSA Major Project: Preplanning 3
Today, I didn’t really draw as may mushrooms because I was more on planning instead. I realized up to this point that I was just creating designs for the mushrooms, but not colors to match the blue-purple theme. I haven’t decided yet whether I’ll have a blue sky and purple grass, purple sky and blue …
SkillsUSA Major Project: Preplanning 2
Today, I worked more on deciding how I was going to design my mushroom forest for our SkillsUSA assignment. I focused today on creating more designs to make the forest a bit more lively. I have also decided that I will try to add smaller, more minimalistic mushrooms to the field as well.

Museum Lighting Final
Today, I finished texturing and rendering my Museum in Maya. This tutorial was pretty cool, but just like most other assignments, we didn’t have too much time to complete this, giving a sub-par result. I was luckily able to add all the lights I wanted to add before we ran out of time. The texturing …
Museum Lighting 3
Today, I completed more on my Museum assignment in Maya. What I was able to do is texture more of the objects, and added some more lighting. The only issue I’m having is just trying to texture all the objects, because there is just such an insane amount of them.
Museum Lighting 2
Today, I continued working on lighting the Museum in Maya. I was able to put some more lighting around my Dinosaurs, and barely start to texture them too, but it’s still stuff I’m getting done. There were a few issues I had today, like Maya crashing and some lights not working, but other than that …
Museum Lighting 1
Today, I started working on lighting and texturing a Museum in Maya. Starting off was decently difficult, since I’m not very good at lights, but I eventually got the ball rolling pretty quickly. The only problem I had was getting the light outside of the museum, but that was quickly solved.
