A Chair and Cup

I finally was assigned homework for my 3D Animation class. I really like this class so far, feels like I'm learning a lot, even though I know these are baby steps of baby steps of the entire 3D animation process. However, I am still really excited to learn more and be slightly more confident when I open up the program. I think my teacher was going for a dinner table setting type of style. The first assignment was to make a chair, however at the time I was so overwhelmed by it all I didn't really end up finishing my chair. After that we made tables, as seen in my previous post. During our last class he announced that next week we should have the table, chair, and a cup design done for next week
  I didn't finish up the chair during class thus I had to do so at home. Turns out 3Ds max chokes on my computer. Thankfully, my mom let me use her computer to do my homework. This is a unique type of chair called a Viking Chair. The chair took me a while because I am still very new to this program, but the tutorial my teacher made helped me a lot.




The next assignment was to make the cup. There was one problem though, my teacher seemed to not have posted the tutorial for the cup yet. I was thinking about just letting it go, but then I decided to wing it. I tried looking up tutorials online, but they all used this line drawing method that I haven't even heard of yet.. (I'm a nub -sadface) Anyways, the cup didn't come out awesome, but it's something.. right?

I am really glad about the progress I'm making, however one thing I must say is even though these snapshots look cool, it's all in the program; stuff like this is easily done in 3ds max, however since I'm so new it takes me 40 minutes... just wanted to say that because I did not want to seem like I'm over hyping
myself in any way.

Also, in my last post I said I was working on a project, this has nothing to do with it. The project will hopefully be done later this week.
