These are the two images I designed the 3d model from.

Maya

For my Maya project I decided to create a 3d model of Ironman. I created the front and side views in photoshop, using the comic cover that had Ironman's first appearance. From there I started to create it in Maya. I decided to go for a cartoonish look, so the limbs arent proportional to a human figure. The first piece that I built was the chest plate which was started from a cube, I made it by moving the vertexes around. After that I started on the upper leg which was started out with a circuler cylinder, the leg was made able to fit into the chest piece for movement. The boot was next, I started with a circular cylinder, I didnt get to give the boot enough area to move to the extent that I had planned. After the boot I had made two cylinders for the upper arm, and forearm. I created them both at the same time so I could try to make the armor have room for an elbow, I didnt get to finish the elbow portion. I had also started a hand, and fingers which I didnt get to finish. I made the helmet with a sphere to start with, I used the face mode, instead of vertex for it. For the shader I downloaded a gold metal shader off of creativecrash.com, I edited the color of the reflection off of the metal. I decided to use Ironman because our next project is going to be a commercial, I am going to put Ironman in the commercial.
