A shape study for animation class

This is a polygonal shape study for animation class. The lesson was to create basic shapes using the Maya software and arrange them in an interesting way in a "museum room" on a pedastal.

Two views of an action figure helmet made from a tutorial for my 3D animation class at Parkland College.

Further progress on the animation class project

This is the basic layout that I am creating for the paint factory scene that I posted the sketch of previously. These shapes were created using Maya software.

Paint Factory sketch for animation class

I'm sort of working ahead on a project for animation class. This is a concept sketch for an imaginary paint factory where my superhero, Ultra Blue Man works. If I go ahead with this, it will be modeled using Maya 3-d software for project #1 of the class.
