Nearly the end of the year. Two more CG assignments and one exam to go.
Have done first render of the Dragonfly. Pretty happy with the way it looks at this stage. No doubt an improved knowledge of Maya would enhance but am happy with progress so far.
Still have to ad lighting lighting effects etc. Have given the bug a slightly stylised look. The green markings are more florescent rather than real and the bug its self would need a lot more detailing to make it appear fully realistic, as was achieved in Vodafone Mayfly commercial.

The Mayfly looks completely realistic accept for the human characteristics in its acting. Would be nice to achieve that level of production value but if I can finish this year with a reasonable understanding of the basics of Maya, Ill be happy. If going into the third year I can build a creature or prop, texture it, ad some lighting and camera moves, Ill at least have something to build on next year. The CG stuff hasn't come to naturally to me (as my tutor will testify! lol). Maya's infinite drop down menus, ahhhhh!, but I will persevere!.
