Animation Portfolio This project is my pen and it was our final and we were told to recreate a pen and i tried to make sure that the pen had realistic lighting and that it had a nice curved top so the tip looked real. I had some trouble because my maya crashed and i lost it but i think that i knew what i had done so recreating it was easy and I probably made it better but i think it is very realistic and proportional. The goal of this project was completed because i remade my pen and had it 3D animated and even though i wont go into animation later, i think that being able to see details of things makes me more observant and that is a key part of recreating a object in 3D. This is my winter background and i think this is my favorite animation project just because of how I made it. This project we made lots of pieces such as trees,snow,layers and sky. I enjoy creating animated objects so that was fun for me and then making all them move together and it actually look like a re...

Ice Cream Shop    This is my Ice Cream Shop animation that i created in maya. This is first project that we animated in maya. I tried to make my ice cream look very realistic and i set a fog shader on it so that as it moves the lighting changes and it still gives a realistic and ice cream vibe. Animating is a slow process that if you work hard on it and take it nice and slow and add each wall and texture just right so they look different and have the 3d dimensions show to everyone who looks at it. This procedure was a long one and all you had to do was form each individual piece then set lighting and add fog shader and textures. This ice cream that I made I think is something that will impact me because I personally think that it looks so real and being able to make real 3d animated things gives me confidence to do other things like this. Confidence is a very important part of animation because it makes you believe that your project turned out and that there is no way that ...
