Pen Final, Animation

• For the final of animation, we have made a pen. We were asked to take out a writing utensil, preferably a pen, and we were to create it in Maya. And then we were let loose.  I am incredibly happy with how my pen came out, and I think it looks super good. I want the lighting to be cooler, but oh well. One of the major things I actually learned from this was that the saying "think outside the box" is almost the definition of maya. I started to make my pen cap when my teacher came over and showed me a completely easier and better way, that I had never thought of. If I have to do this again I will spend a lot more time actually on the lighting and maybe the color, although a all-black pen can't really have a lot of variation with it's color. The way it's modeled I think looks absolutely amazing and I hope I can replicate it in the future.
