This project was my first in depth exploration of using Autodesk Maya. Although I had done some basic modeling and texturing using the program previously, during this 10 week project I went through the entire process of creating a short animation. Beyond modeling and texturing, I learned the basics of lighting, rigging, animating, and rendering using Arnold. I only touched briefly on the basic of each topic, but being able to apply all of Mayas different functions to create a short walk cycle of a simple character was a great way to learn about the different aspects of the program in a short time. I used Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes as my character.
