First 3D project - Maya

I finally got to try my hands at 3D modelling, and I thoroughly enjoy it. It is of course very techical and new to me, but still it makes a lot of sense once you get it. I spent 4 days on this project, creating a diorama of a small environment. The sky was added later with Photoshop.

Design and construction

Assignment from the design week. Our task was to create an environment with a character, and the subject was Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. We were allowed to use black, white and 2 shades of gray. The goal was to use the design elements we had learned that week to create a spesific mood in the picture. It took about a day to complete.
 
Completed: September 28, 2012.
 
The next piece is from the second week, where we had construction and rendering. Again the task was to create an environment, and we were encouraged to use a lot of perspective. I created a morbid Gargoyle Temple that is being visited by a group of happy Japanese tourists, and I had a lot of fun playing around with the contrasting themes. Finished in about 2 days.
