Day 1: Polys and NURBS

Well the first day is over, and i am just sitting in the room still messing around with Maya. In the morning we covered polygon modelling and in the afternoon NURBS. Quite strange just having a quick look at things then moving on, but i suppose this way we get an idea of everything then can go back at a later date and learn those subjects better once we have the intitial grasp.

We made a (crappy) robot with polys and a fruitbowl, with fruit, using NURBS. I have never used NURBS really before, but are good once you get the hang of things (and when you can actually manage to keep up with the tutor! Ctrl-Z ftw!) I shall see if i can get some pics posted up of my WIPs soon.

Anyway, really liking it so far, can't wait to see what else we do. Apparently it is texturing tomorrow! At this rate, we will be done by the weekend!
