Lizard in Maya



Here is a lizard I modeled in Autodesk Maya for my Intro to 3D/Computer Animation class. I modeled it by importing an image of the lizard into the grid and by tracing it with the Create Poly tool. I then cut the faces of the geometry and pulled the vertices away from the grid to give the model some depth. I then used the "duplicate special" tool to duplicate the other half into a mirror image.



String Animation



This is my stop motion string assignment for my Intro to Animation class. The assignment was to use string to create movements. I used the Dragon Stop Motion software and down-shooters/line testing station. I painted the background in acrylic paint.
