Personal Project's Entry 1

Ok, now that I've broken up and finished my first year I wanted to set myself little projects for myself to do so that I didn't forget the commands and controls for Maya.

After watching "Cabin in the Woods" for the first time I instantly fell in love with the idea of creating a rustic cabin setting with a horror twist.

I first created a very rough layout of what I wanted the cabin to look like from references I found online and in books.



(Photoshop images to come)

So from these designs I mapped out a floor plan in Maya of what I wanted to build.


Once I built the walls I removed planes to create windows and doors.


After tidying up all the edges and hidden vertex's I build the outer shell of the cabin.


I wasn't happy with how bland the outer house looked so I decided I should add small details to break up the large flat areas.


After looking at a rendered image of my cabin I really was not happy with It. I felt that it was to long and very mundane and boring looking with no character.
