Maya related blogs are from here up - 3D design is so far proving easier than I thought it would be, although because of the ANZAC day holiday I missed out on one class. The makeup lesson was done at the same time as another of my lessons.
So far I have worked on basic shape construction, manipulation and rendering. The lesson I missed included creating a face and a plane. I have not been able to attempt them yet because for some reason I am unable to download the lesson recordings. I will try again using Uni computers tomorrow.
