- When doing this project I learned how to use Arnold in Maya which helped me look at my piece from a skydome light perspective. Also, I learned how to use the Arnold render view so that I could see my final cut piece.
- Setting up the project, in the beginning, was easy because we could’ve just used our chess piece from last class.
- What I found challenging was in the computer labs on the first floor in Lyons, Arnold was not available to use. So I decided to come to our classroom computer labs to finish the project.
- My submission could improve if I played around with the curves and shapes tool, but the poly modeling was more applicable for me to use.
- The professor may improve the project for the next class by possibly adding videos in the instructions part.
- I may apply this in the future by having a brief background using Maya Software and knowing where certain tools are placed.
- I specific video that helped me was seeing how vicious a Hammerhead shark and a porcupine are. I wanted to incorporate that type of technique/technology into the project. Also, a video the professor posted last class helped with the layout of the project.
