Arm improvement

Some tweaking and color later...

Arm: Nearly Finished!

I'd say my skills have improved a lot.

3D Arm!

I've been working on 3D modeling the arm, and I've created most of the shapes in the blueprint. So far I have the base arm and the forearm armor. It isn't perfect and I have a lot to learn, but I'm proud of what I have so far and plan to add more detail in time.

COMPLETED Arm Blueprint

This is the final form of the arm blueprint; while it's still not perfect and lacks detail, this is what I'll be taking into Maya to 3D model.

More Arm Blueprint

I've completed the exterior side view, and begun the interior.

Final Arm Blueprint: Front view

I'm cranking out the arm of my design so that I'll have something to submit when the deadline comes around. I completed the clean design of the front view.

Ncloth

This is he result of my experimentation with nCloths; I created my initials, GTI, as a passive collider, and then draped an nCloth plane over it using the silk preset with a stretch resistance of 0.

Maya Dynamics Tutorial

I've started a new semester, and we're going to start learning about Maya effects. I was asked to find a tutorial on something I'm interested in learning, so I found this page about creating smoke effects using Maya's fluid dynamics.
