New Individual Project

So I am currently retaking my 3DF (3D Foundations) class here at Full Sail.  I have about a week left in this class before I am off for my Winter Break.  I'm lucky I get any time off from my nonstop schedule.  I watched the movie The Social Network last night and it inspired me to blog frequently and daily if possible.  And since this blog is devoted to showing off all my creations in Maya, I shall be creating new creations and models weekly.  I will start by uploading all my previous objects I created for a class I took called MCR (Modeling Creation).  For my new individual project for the class I'm taking now, I decided to create Three Individual 300-500 polygon objects or props.  For some reason I started making a gum ball machine but I just didn't like where I was going with it, also I knew that my 2 other objects would have to be with the same theme somehow.  I decided to make something a bit manlier, if that's a word lol. I have created a Roman Sword, a Roman Helmet, and a Roman Shield.  It all started from my mental image of Maximus' Helmet from Gladiator.  I pulled up an image of it on Google Images and immediately started working on it on Maya.  I figured the simplest way was to slice a sphere in half and extrude select faces to create an early rendering of the helmet.  My version is somewhat similar to his but there are still many differences.  I then pulled up an image of a Roman Sword.  This turned out a lot easier than I had expected. Keep in mind that for all 3 of my objects, they must be one solid object.  Meaning that the entire object must be originated from one single shape.  Our teacher gives the example that he must be able to pour water into our object and it should fill every part of it.  Anyway I'll end my endless ramble thats probably making you not even want to see my objects.  I'm first showing all 3 objects with simple colors applied to them.  I'll later show them again when they are all textured.  I haven't figured out how to put the picture below my words but I'll figure it out eventually. Enjoy!
