Hurray! i’m a complete noob at Maya. I have a reputation in class (and the lecturer knows it) for ruining my own UI. Making things disappear or doing strange stuff that makes things not run smoothly. Things that take people 5 mins to do smoothly takes me 2 hours because I need to troubleshoot. Yes! Troubleshoot for just simple small insignificant things. Almost every step I take is a challenge and a big hurdle which definitely is not normal.

Either way, I managed to cut down funny stuff from happening to me by half and this is what I came up with for my assignment.

Obviously not very impressive. The task is to make a set. It can be a room in the house, or anything. Most people made rooms as suggested by the lecturer. I chose to make the living room. It looks simple but a lot of dumb details were blurred out due to distance. Such as the speakers…

Can’t really see from the overall shot. Makes me feel like an idiot for making details that can hardly be seen. Still it was fun. At first Maya was to be my most hated subject. Now I’m actually enjoying it. I can’t imagine learning it by myself. I’d have died from frustration for all the strange mistakes I make that no other noob beginner in class make.
