When I created this blog, I am already about 2 weeks into deep independent studying with some basic Maya a few weeks earlier. So let's catch up on what has happened so far....
During the next few days I tried modelling several animals without much luck :) So I decided to do my guitar which turned out better. Except that at first I started it using a Polygon Plane which created all these bad floating vertices and faces, so I redid it starting from a cube.
Now I'm feeling all confident and stuff.. so I decided to sketch a concept for a cool sword and model it 
After my brother taught me basic modeling with Maya, he introduced me to UV Mapping and Texturing. So we went out and took some pictures of basic shapes and things for me to model and map.. We did a garbage dumpster and a mailbox.

Nice! So I go and attempt to create the graphics for it... but my lack of art skills bit me big time!! I literally could not paint if my life depended on it!!! At this point I was stuck dead
