This video was made with most of the things I created on maya during my Desktop 3D class. I do not own the rights to the song, I'm sorry if it goes against copyright laws.

Checkers- To test how well we did with Key frames, we where assigned to make a checkers board and create a checkers game. I used Dragon for the pieces and made my own checkers game.

Generi- We where given this blue character and where asked to do some sort of animation with it, I would have done more, but I wasn't clear with the details of the actual project, so I improvised. I'll make a follow up video with the actual project of him

Dog on Scooter- We have made a dog character and a Scooter so we where asked to make a short animation of it, We had to do everything by hand and also had to add in light.

Ferrari Camera test- This was not an actual assignment, rather I wanted to test how well I was able to move the camera around during a scene, in case I ever need to, also I did this cause I was bored and who doesn't like ferraris.

Rest of the year:

Sword- an extra credit assignment to test how well we can free model objects

Wagon- We had to create hierarchies for the wagon to make the handle go up and down, sorry but I forgot to animate this.

Frankinstien- In this project we had to create the character using nurb surfaces and nurb tools to get it done, then convert it to polygons, I added the wings on his back purely for the fun of it.

Smurf- I don't recall doing this one, It must have been sometime in the beginning of the year or something but I imagine we had to apply the color on ourselves to learn certain shades and whatnot

Crown- We where asked to practice extruding vertexes on a polygon and make a crown, we where also asked to do a bowl along with this, but I didn't much care for the bowl

House Construction- We where given everything we need to create a house along with pictures of the completed house, We had to arrange the pieces to match the picture, to make things easy it was a puzzle game.

Scooter- Our first real test on how well we where able to use tools like loft, and other nurb surfaces tools. We had to create the scooter off a picture we had, but the picture only had the lines necessary to make the kickplate, and back engine cover, along with the seat. Everything else we had to free make.

Dog- At first we had to make our own dog, although time wasn't on our side, so our instructor gave us the dog and told us to animate it's arms, ears, and eyes. In this video i showed his arms moving slightly, The one in the Dog and Scooter clip is better cause it does more.

Spaceship- maybe one of first assignment- We had to practice extruding faces and duplicating faces along with moving multiple faces. Basically the project was create a spaceship out of a single box. We had a video tutorial to help us get it to a certain point afterward we had to make our own tweaks to make it better. The original video was done by a kid Thomas age 7 at the time, he did this own his an is indeed talented. His video is on YouTube. Here's the link:

Dragon- A fun project, Make a 3D model out of a flat surface, We had to extruded the edges and create more faces. Afterward we had to make more faces and do some editing, The dragon in this video is nothing like the ones we had to make in class, this one was far more advanced, the reason I showed this one was because it looked cooler, hard to imitate, believe me I tried.

Table set up- Our instructor had this small table along with other things on it and told us to recreate it on maya. This was to test how well we can work off real live things.
