Springboard week 2 Assignment

Our first job for week 2 was to create a character from polygon primitives and  creating a basic hirachy for those objects.
So, please allow me to introduce B-Boy (v1beta), my first character created in Maya:

The second assignment was about creating a set for our character. 

Today I was eating like a sumo, what inspired me go for a dohyó. Maybe I will be trying something else, but I won´t hold back my first attempt:

And here we go!

My first springboard class assignment:

 the shelf was given

This is what I came up with so far. The perspective isn´t correct because I seem to have used the wrong camera settings, but that should be fixed quite easily.

Maya Springboard

Yesterday, I finally recieved an email including the Springboard Class QnA times and my first mentor. His name is Dan Lauer and he is an AM-allumni, currently working on several animation projects and as a Maya trainer for our school. On top of that, he´s a 3d allrounder with a background in coding, so I´m sure we´ll be learning some crazy Maya stuff by a very competent professional!

This is Dan´s homepage:
