My tutorial

http://www.creativecrash.com/tutorials/modeling-a-human-ear/page2


I am going to make an ear because creating a human ear should be easy and is interesting. The human ear will be a challenge and there will be times when I will get frustrated but I cant wait to start it.

2 new tools I used

The first tool that I used was append to polygon tool which was used to build a shade like the rest of the helmet but to the mask the eyes part.

The second tool that I used was split polygon tool and it split the mask and it added two lines and lined them up horizontally and vertical.

changing the tools in maya

The purpose for changing the tools, is because you can can customize and control the way you want them to be. You want to get plenty of edge tools that way you can transform your object the way you want it.

the rest couldnt be continued because i had to go to the office, and i came back
and said mrs goeldner wat were the questions and you said: ayyyy lady!
so therfore its not completed!(:

love always stephanie!!(:

Plan of action

I will edit it to be the same size and same shape. I will insert it into maya and find objects and tools that I could use to build the alien. I will probably just do the head of the alien and if I have more time I will accomplish the body also. I will use the knowlegde i used to build the helmet and use some of the same techniques to build the alien. Hopefully my project will be a success!(:

What i picked

I picked an aliens body from front view and side view
I picked it because it is interesting and should be fun.
The challenge should be making the body and  arms

3 things that i learned

1. I learned how to extrude the helmet
2. I learned how to size the helmet to its fit
3. I learned how to make the helmet more thick

1. It was difficult to make the bottom of the helmet.
2. It was difficult to make the top of the helmet more thick

1. I finally got the bottom shape of the helmet to fit in its shape

what was wrong with mine?

I had to extrude the back of my helmet and dragg it out for like half a grid out.
Then I had to make six vertices that way it can connect to the other side of the helmet.
Then i had to get the four point from the mask and drag the four points out and up.
I deleted the inside boxes  that weren't neccessary.
