Assignment Details:
What to do:
Model a (1) sailboat of your
own design with NURBS surfaces.
For full credit, boats
should include:
hull (Should be complete from week 1)
deck
cabin
mast/boom
sails
Turn-in:
Please turn in your Maya .ma
or .mb file for your completed sailboat, as well as a high quality 800x600 jpg
to \\preproduction\student_data\cse458_au07\turn_in
Be sure to name your files:
"lastname_firstname_projectname".mb or .ma,
"lastname_firstname_projectname".jpg
Tips:
Be sure to start early so
you can bring your questions and problems to office hours.
Name your components as soon
as you create them. It'll be much easier than changing them all later. Make
sure the names you choose are simple and easy to type. When you need to pick
one little part of a complex model, it is MUCH easier to pick it by name than
with the mouse.
Take the time to learn the
keyboard shortcuts (especially for transforming the camera), the marking menus,
and how to customize your workspace.
Last but not least - save
EARLY and save OFTEN!
