3D Foundations (What I have learned so far)

In my 3D Foundations class (3DF for short) it was my first real experience with using Maya and learning how to start building models from the basics like blocking out and working our way up to some more advanced techniques including laying out UV's and baking the Ambient Occlusions. For the final project in that class we had to take some of our models and lay them out in a scene that was provided for us and then render it.

This is only a small portion of what I did in my 3DF class but these models best show the advancement of my abilities in that class. They also show the best progression from first model to a more refined model that is borderline finished.
