3D Proposal

The 3D image I am creating on Maya, is my prelude Empire.
The shapes I will be using are Pyramids, Prisms, Helix, Cones, Cylinders, and perhaps more.
There will be many tools I will be using, from selectors to creating objects, and resizing or modifying shapes.

Q's of worth sss

Template Display

1. WHEN DO YOU USE TEMPLATE DISPLAY?

When your scene becomes complex.

2. WHAT DOES TEMPLATING THE DISPLAY ALLOW YOU TO DO?

Templating the display of some of the objects in your scene allows you to more easily select only the objects you want.

3. HOW DOES THE OBJECT CHANGE WHEN YOU TEMPLATE THE DISPLAY?

Changes to a wireframe and changes color.

4. HOW DOES THE TEMPLATE DISPLAY HELP YOU?

By preventing you from selecting of modifying it accidentally.

5. HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE DISPLAY OF OBJECTS TO TEMPLATE MODE?

From the main menu, select Create, then click on Object Display, then hit Template.
6. HOW DO YOU UNTEMPLATE A TEMPLATED OBJECT?

Same as the past question but hitting the Untemplate button instead of the clicking Template.

7. HOW DID YOU WORK WITH TEMPLATE DISPLAY IN THE LAST LESSON?

By Templating certain objects so we wont change it in anyway so we can be able to modify the objects we wanted with ease.

Components

1. WHAT IS A COMPONENT?

Geometric shapes, like the primitives in Maya

2. GIVE THREE EXAMPLES OF A COMPONENT.

Examples are the vertices, faces, and hulls.

3. WHAT DOES A COMPONENT ALLOW YOU TO DO IN MAYA?

Components allow you to work with objects at a finer level and allow you to edit them in creative ways.

4. WHAT ARE THE STEP TO SELECT A COMPONENT OF AN OBJECT?

sET THE SELECTION MODE TO COMPONENT MODE. tHEN RIGHT-CLICK THE WIREFRAME OF AN OBJECT.

5. HOW DID YOU WORK WITH COMPONENTS IN THE LAST LESSON?

bY EDITING PARTS OF AN OBJECT TO BE EITHER LONGER, THICKER, OR WIDER FROM CERTAIN POINTS.

Troubles and Challenges

The problems I have faced the past Friday was quite a few. For one, the teacher letting us to do the brand new assignment ourselves. Sure, that was cool and all, but, let us skate with no skating experience will only make us fall multiple times. The up side to this, I have found many good tools and panels that I did not learn before and had used this to my advantage in the assignment. Such as the Surfaces panel, using the Channel box effectively, using the Edit in the menu bar and its many features, holding the space bar for new options, and how to track because of a good friend. Thats maybe all I learned, hopefully, I'll learn many more things about Maya and how to use it soon in the future.

Objective of will

The ways of moving the half sphere object to be touching above the pedestal, is to either use the move tool to move it up/down/side to side, then to use the rotate tool to rotate the half sphere flat face down and above the pedestal. Or, adjust the axis to move it automatically by using the Channel box panel. It is a bit harder to find the exact location, but, can be a bit more effective.

3 Preguntas

1. How to animate in Maya

2. How to use "Muscles" in Maya

3. How to use all the tools effectively on Maya

5 things I found on MAYA

I learned on my own on MAYA:

How to create shapes = By going to the "Create" tab in the Menu Bar.

How to move objects = By clicking the Universal Manipulator button in the Tools Bar

How to see different views in MAYA = By heading to the Tools Bar and clicking the different view buttons.

How to Scale objects = By clicking the Scale tool in the Tools Bar

How to add Fur to an object = By Selecting the object, then clicking the Fur Tab in the tabs panel, then selecting a fur of your choice.

Goal and Steps

Finish my team's BPA Animation Project.


Specific: Finish the project in time and in good taste

Measure: To study the works and supply the necessary tools to finish

Action: Set up meetings with my group and think of ideas and make it happen

Reasonable: Meet up with my group and talk about the project

Timely: Each day, discuss our assignments of the day, and get this project done.



My short term goal, for this moment of class, is to make and finish the Animation Project my group and I are trying to complete. This isn't really much of a long term goal, but a Short term goal. Since, my group and I only have about 8 days left. We'll need to study what our project really is about and how we'll be able to finish with the right tools. We'll have meetings and random discussions when we come to it, as well as creating our storyboard. This'll be a challenge to complete, but with each team member finish to their job and do it well enough to pass. I know it will be a great project with outstanding results. We will finish.
