3D Modelling: Column Design and Model


These are some of the references I used to create ideas for my column.

I wanted to do something simple so I could focus on the technical side of things and get the hang of the process before doing things more completed which I know would only stress me out...

After creating different iterations, I set on modelling the column in Maya.

I don't know if it's the simple design I chose or the fact that I may not be no longer such a beginner with Maya but things like adding edge loops and snapping shapes to others seemed much more easier than the other times I used Maya.

Although this design isn't a difficult one, making this piece has given me more confidence to create something more elegant with more features in the future. I know understand more about how to do things and the features and keys/shortcuts  in Maya and what they do and how to use them.

I'm still not very confident though, but I think I'm getting there. I just need more practice.. and more time!
