CA1-BGSU Synopsis

The Stone Carver. This story is about a stone carver from a high mountain village working on a great monument to himself in an effort to be remembered. Along his journey he learns what's more important than being remembered for your work.

CA1-BGSU Character creation in Maya

Working on getting better with the modeling tools in Maya. Still trying to figure out how to average smooth vertices but looks pretty decent with a subdivision.

Also messed around a bit with Final gather, ambient occlusion material properties, and bounce lighting.
