We were given an assignment which involved modelling a turret from a reference image that was provided for us. Here is a screenshot of my result:
This assignment was fairly challenging at first, as I still had little experience with Maya at the time. However, the more I modeled the more confident I became with the various tools and methods used to create objects in this program, and so I feel that this exercise was very useful in becoming more comfortable with Maya. I even chose to add a basic texture and colour to the model, even though it wasn't necessarily required.
However, I still struggled with a few aspects of this assignment. For example, I found that the 'bevel' function often didn't work as expected on this model, and I wasn't quite sure what was causing the problem, leading to several edges just not being beveled. Issues such as these show that I still have a lot to learn when it comes to Maya, however I feel more confident now about the basics of 3D modelling.
