3D Class Week 03 Lego Project Part 01

Onto our Lego building! Since this was the first time in a real while that I have modeled anything in maya, this project was a little bit more challenging for me then the past projects. It took me around 10 hours to model my Lego piece (which includes watching the movies and re-working the Lego to function in the way I needed it to). It took me about 5 hours to build my object for our neighborhood scene.

Starting to model the pieces in Maya; at this point the arch and the block were separate pieces and I was measuring and adjusting the two to make sure they would work:

Got to this point eventually, and hallowed out the middle of the model to fit together. Ended up getting myself in a bind with the way I was handling the geometry so I went shortly after to get help:

Nick showed me a better way of carving out the geometry by modeling half of my Lego at a time then mirroring the geometry, which was a lot easier to work with:

 For our combined Lego project, we decided to make a neighborhood scene made up of tiny houses. I used the below house to base my Lego "tiny house" off of:
