Maya is a program used by animators everywhere, usually for 3D renderings. My castle (to the left) is my introduction project to this platform. The whole point of this simple venture is to familarize myself with Maya.
To start out, we (my class and I) began by creating the towers on all four corners. We made 2 cylinders and combined them using the difference and union tool to make a tower. Then, we added turrets by using the Extrude tool. I took a creative license by adding a cone to the top. Command-D (duplicate) came in handy because it allowed me to do less work.
The walls came next; they were much easier. They were just the cube tool. The turrets were made the same way. The door opening was made with a cylinder and a cube, using the difference tool.
This was very helpful in learning the beginnings of Maya. I learned how to create shapes and other different techniques.
