Hot Air Balloon

The fourth week of practice is the modeling of hot air balloons, material production, and keyframe settings. I used MAYA to model and export to Substance Painter for textures and finally imported those into MAYA for rendering.

This week we are divided into two parts. In the first half of the class, we learn about the production of wine bottles and glass material in Maya. By modelling different bottles, we use the curve tool. In this work, I used Maya to test the texture of the glass material, showing leisurely afternoon time.

Next, we started modelling and texturing the hot air balloon and learned to find inspiration from references.

LEGO MAN

The third week of practice is modelling LEGO man by MAYA. After the class, I independently built a scene and rendered it.

Cybertruck – Tesla

In the first week, we had a basic introduction to Maya and practised using functions to make cubes into Tesla’s Cybertruck. Furthermore, we learned to use the upward HDRI for lighting to make the light look more realistic. Finally, I have a basic understanding of the shader and try to add metal and rubber materials to the model we created.
