Maya Tools

Hammer: When making the hammer I used the Cut Face tool where I cut the back face of the hammer to make the back prongs. Extrude to pull out the prongs and pull out the hammer head.

Ice Cream: When making the Ice cream and Cone I used Bump map tool to make the indents of the waffle cone. I also made it into a looping movie by turning the ice cream a few degrees then added a keyframe to the last keyframe. This made it spin in an endless loop. 


Cup: When making the Cup I used NURBS. I used the curve tool to cut out the cup into the shape of The Holy Grail. Then I used the revolve tool to take my cut of the cup and then expanded it in a 360 degree to make the full cup. Then I found a Holy Grail type of texture and added it to my cup.



Salt Shaker: When making my Salt and Pepper Shakers I used the Curve and Lofting along with the Extrude when making the cap.

Bouncing Spheres: When making the Tennis, Golf, and Bowling balls drop tests I used Keyframes, Graph Editor, and Squash and Stretch.
