As the title suggests, I spent today learning how to play with Maya Fur. I got really excited once things started to sprout and I knew how to play with the settings. I know its weird how these things excite me, but I find the technical side of these things really interesting. And then using that to help you create something in 3D space is still really cool to me.
Obviously I'm not showing all the various camera angles I went through before I settled on this one, but I really tried to keep all the composition lessons in mind when putting this together. Coming up with the right angle in 3D space is the most challenging for me. Even after drawing it out on papaer, positioning everything can be quite challenging to get it to look just right.
With that said this is the final composition that I settled on. Working on the lighitng and texturing is next.
