Organic shape project

Our second project in 3D animation was to concentrate on organic shapes and object textures. I was inspired by Volvox, a microscopic photosynthetic organism that grows in spherical colonies. Some things I would like to improve in my image would be adding a little of variation in the solid globes (add texture, color variation, etc.) and improve the depth of field in some problem areas (objects in upper left).

I made a spaceship!

A 3D image, actually. (If only it were real!)
This is one of the first thing's I've made in my 3D animation class that was actually cooler than a photo frame or a window.

It only took about 45 minutes--although our teacher walked us through the whole thing. The first image is what I actually made, by 'extruding' (expanding the sides of) a simple cube, part by part. Then Maya (the 3D software program) makes it soft and aerodynamic with the click of a button.

It's pretty cool! I'm excited to do more.
