BrennanSullivanAlienPlants

This model was based on the idea of alien plants. It was my first use of the NURBs tools in Maya to create models. These models were created using a root shaped curve that became smaller and more circular as the shape extends. This shape was then turned into a poly based model and the textures were created using Substamce painter. The base color of these textures was imported into photoshop and an opacity channel was added to create the shape of the leaves and the sphere. The leaves were flat planes shaped slightly and the sphere was created from a base cube primitive that was smoothed twice. The pots for the two plants were created from two cube pimitives that were extruded and scaled into the shape of pots. Their colors were made Maya lambert materials with base colors applied.
