Modelling

This week as an introduction to Maya I created a snowman using 3 spheres. I then blended the spheres together by removing the sections and connecting the edge loops together.

For this weeks homework I needed to create a simple castle in Maya. I started by making the walls of the castle and adding crenellations.

Then to make the wall more realistic I used a lattice deform to add imperfections to the wall.

When I was happy with one side of the wall I mirrored it to create a walkway, and added a tower to the corner.

Once I had my wall and tower I could complete my castle by copying and rotating it to make a courtyard. Finally I placed my castle on a simple landscape.
