week01

            The first week we start to learn 3D. This is the first time I start to learn about it. I find some explanation about three-dimensional, and then I can have a basic knowledge about what is 3D. Three-dimensional space is a geometric model of the physical universe in which we live. The three dimensions are commonly called length, width, and depth (or height), although any three directions can be chosen, provided that they do not lie in the same plane. 


            In our daily life, what have I knew about 3d is the 3d games, 3d animations and also the 3d films which is very popular nowadays. I think 3d is very important in our daily life now, In the multimedia society, 3D has an important role. More and more movies and animations could be watched by using the special glasses. This kind of form of presenting movies and animations is very attractive, the audience can feel like they are real in that situations. They feel like they are a part of the movie, then they can blend into the stories much easier. The movies and the animations also can be remembered easily. 


            My favourite 3D animation are UP and Toy Story 3.

              The film centres on an elderly widower named Carl Fredricksen and an earnest young Wilderness Explorer named Russell who fly to  South America by floating in a house.

              The plot focuses on the toy Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and their friends dealing with an uncertain future as their owner, Andy, prepares to leave for college.


              This week we learn some basic information of 3D maya software. i have an basic understanding of the usage of the main tools. I feel like 3D maya is a profound software. This week's important thing is to have a basic understanding of 3D maya software and also can use the extrude tool to do modelling. I find an online tutorial talking about the extrude tool.

This tutorial shows how to use the extrude tool to create a simple character in 3D maya.

This is what I have done by following this tutorial.
