Module 1 Week 03 Homework

 



Hierarchy's were always something that while I thought was useful I blissfully ignored while modeling in maya. Having to use them now by force has definently taught be there usefulness even if they are moderately annoying to setup.

So super mario sunshine is one of my all time favorite games. and one of my favorite characters in it is this little trickster here 

I love the fact that he's clearly just some dude in disguise. It's the fun of the nintendo worlds being interconnected or the fact this guy has some reality hopping abilities to jump into another dimension either way he's a fun guy who just wants to race. 

I also Love him. 

so I had the idea of him being in disguise. I love supermario galaxy but what if Pantisimo was an alien trying to blend in and doing it badly. we've already seen the galaxy that super mario has to offer but I feel like sometimes the characters could change to reflect that. 








my first go around is with pantismo himself. I got some what captured with the excercise and started making other designs as well. 




Fludd gets a make over as well!.

Now presenting Conductor bot! lab assistant extraordinaire and generic super villian lackey. Coupled with pinching hands and a non human face he absolutely provides no sympathy to any captives and prisoners in his care. 

Powered by hedron-collider his warp matter battery make him just at home in the labratory as it does in the kitchen. 

Don't miss out! purchase today!! 

Inspired vaguely by rachet and clank style utility robots I love Conductor tubes and robots that are vaguely human shaped but non empathic. so alot of sharp angles and fancy but unfriendly shapes. the robots more likely to download the plans and rush off to a secret base to hide from the heros. 




 


So I've had some experience modeling in maya. both hard surface and organic. going through the the tutorial tells me two things. 

how much of a mess that Maya's program is and how much or how little I understand of it 


while there weren't too many hiccups with actually following through with things there were some hiccups here and there. 

I couldn't seem to get the blinn that the tutorial had to the same specularity or at least the same metallic finish
