For my major, I decided to take a class in 3D modeling and rendering, and we are using Autodesk Maya. This is a completely new interface so I am starting fresh, and it is a very exctiting class. We started with the taco stand, and now just finished with the Nurbs lamp.
The first couple projects are to just make something like a taco stand. These are the final rendered images.
This is a semester long project so it will constantly be updated with new projects and any other objects I have rendered in Maya. The more I learn - the better the projects!
