Snowflake Project

The main idea of this project was to create 6 snowflakes and animate them to give them a falling effect past a window.

First we had to create 6 original snowflakes through the use of the create polygon tool, and special duplication. Next we gave the snowflakes depth and texture so it looked like a actual snowflake as opposed to the flat shape that it was before. Next we created a window scene for the snowflakes to fall behind.

In the process of doing so i learned how to bevel in maya.

If i were to do this project again i think i would vary the snowflakes more and make them less alike to each other. Every snowflake is different after all.

In conclusion i feel that this project was very interesting because we started from the smallest part and added extreme detail and put it on a bigger scale and i think it turned out good.
