Lamp Model




Lamp Model Design


This was the first lamp I designed at a fist attempt at using Maya to try and get use to the software.





This was my first attempt at using Maya and was quite a grueling process to come out of my comfort zone from 2D artwork to 3D modeling. It was quite difficult learning just the basic shortcuts such as Ctrl + Z, Ctrl + E and 3 to smooth but once I felt more comfortable and created this basic lamp as my first piece. I Liked this design because I thought it was very creative with the idea that the lamp rotates around the sphere as well as the lamp being able to roll itself.

I hope to improve as I continue and create less basic, more creative things in Maya and learn new skills along the way.

This task was a very nice easy model to begin with that let me be creative while at the same time keeping the design really simple and easy to make.
