Character Design for Maquette

Month 5
Fundamentals of Art 2

This was a character sheet that I did for Fundamentals of Art 2. The purpose was to design a character that would eventually be used as the basis for our maquette project. I decided to make my own rendition of the Hindu goddess, Kali. While I was able to successfully complete the character sheet, I couldn't say the same for the maquette. I was able to shape the body and even the head, but I struggled with the face and the long strands of hair. The maquette unfortunately didn't turn out as well as I had hoped for, hence why I don't have a photo of it.

Exterior Rendering

Month 5
Shading and Lighting

We were provided a scene where we had to apply all the shading, lighting, and rendering techniques that we learned. For this project, we also had to show that we knew how to apply image projection. This technique was used for the wine bottle's label.

Interior Rendering

Month 5
Shading and Lighting

When we were assigned to this project, we had already understood the basics of shading, lighting, and rendering in Maya. Keeping in mind the techniques that we already learned, we also delved into tile textures and bump maps, etc. With this project, we had to apply all those things into the scene.
