Modelling in Maya sugar pot

 The sugar pot was easy to make the shape of. I made a sylinder out of the basic shapes you have in maya then Jeng showed me how to make a smaller one and put it inside so you get the hollow inside with edges.

Then I used the edge loop tool on all the edges, first 4 to make the thicker parts on the bottom and top then 2 for each so the edge would be more defined.

Next I made the lid with the Curve tool.

I defined some of the details on the top in the same way as before.

Next was the handle and the hinge but it was a bit too complicated for me at this point so I took some artistic liberty and did not make anything and just left it as a normal lid.

Modelling in Maya teapot

Modelling in Maya is going ok. Because I wasn't there the day you thought us Maya I've been lacking behind but I hope I get that sorted out soon. I sent a mail to Simon asking for a quick 101 so hopefully he'll have time and I'll be at the same level as the rest of the second years next week. this week I got a lot of help from Jeng and Wilde so at least I have something to show for tomorrow.

This is the teapot I've made. As you probably can see there's a few mistakes I don't know how to fix at the bottom and around the edge of the tip, but hopefully it works well enough for what were gonna do on the Monday lesson.

I made the shape with the curve tool and used the edge loop tool to make the edges on the top a bit more defined.

The handle is made the way you showed us with the extrude and then a hole at the bottom where I connected the edges.

Colours

Colours have a strong impact on how we perceive things like posters, webpages and the general feel in movies.
by colour use you can tell an important message. For example, facebook wants to be perceive as serious, professional and technical, all qualities found in blue, while McDonalds on the other hand wants to be perceived as fun and playful so they use yellow. And lately they’ve wanted to look healthier so they've started to have green and brown things which is perceived as natural and ecological. Green can also be seen as sick, which they’ve used in movies like fight club and trainspotting to set that mood.
