This was created using Maya 8. We had to design a 3d castle from a sketch that we drew out. It seemed like everybody jumped on the internet to research real castles, which are cool, but I wanted my castle to be more fun and original. I sketched a little castle on the back of a napkin minutes before class. I decided to roll with it and finished with something unique.

Introducing the Corkboard Computer. This was a project combining the use of 3D and Director. We had to create a fictional but practical product using Maya 8. Once we had completed that we needed to import it into Director. Using Director we had to create an interactive promotional piece. Our fictional product had to rotate around, move left to right, zoom in and out and had to have at least one animation.

This character was the final project for my 3D class. We were asked to design a character, and anything went. We could let our imaginations run wild. Being who I am, I decided to build a big headed cartoon man.
The main principles of this assignment were to have fun, but more importantly learn the importance of constructing a character while keeping the wire frame clean of unnecessary lines.
