Western Town

3D Modelling Final Project

As part of my uni degree we did one unit on 3D modelling. It was a bit of a crash course in the program Maya, which flew through concepts and required us to do a lot of learning and revision in our own time. After a few tutorials and a practise assignment where we had to model a shark, we had to model a group of 5 buildings that would fit in a Wild West scene.

​

I didn't do very well in the shark assignment and was worried about this one, but I actually ended up finding this one easier since the buildings were a series of simpler shapes I could connect together (and I love Wild West settings so I could probably recreate one blindfolded). I was really proud of myself with this project, earning a mark just under a Distinction. And I wasn't expecting any higher than that because to get a Distinction mark or higher you needed to record an animation in your town and we, uh... were not taught animation in this class.
