It’s fascinating to see the different processes and how various tools are used. I would have loved to see the entire workflow, from the thumbnail stage to the final Maya model.
Here are my notes from the lesson. One thing I want to research further is how to transform a 2D silhouette into something 3D. What should we consider when creating an interesting silhouette? For example, design principles like big, medium, and small shapes.
