This first lamp is one we did in the taught sessions. Maya seems like it would become more simple once you familiarise yourself with the shortcuts and what things do, although you could say the same thing about a lot of programs, but actually using the functions when you get to it doesn't seem as difficult as it first looks like it would be.

These lamps have not been created with references, although they should have been and it would have probably been helpful if they were.
While I was creating my own lamp at home, I had a lot of trouble with extruding. Whenever I tried to extrude a face, it would move from two different areas and it was really confusing, but it turns out I wasn't pressing the right keys to get to the right function, so I was doing something completely different. This is a really simple what-is-meant-to-be-a lava lamp type thing. Mostly I just did it to practice making shapes, extruding and moving things, the aesthetic is not particularly appealing.

This time I tried to make a lamp actually look like a lamp. There's little extrusion on this lamp. However there are other things like the horizontal features on the inside of the lamp shade. The light bulb itself on this lamp is shaped like one, although it is hard to see on these images. I wanted to make the horizontal wires diagonal, however couldn't make it how I wanted, so I will practice it more at another time, with more lamp designs.
