Sphere

I created this sphere with a polygon which I then extruded without keeping the faces together. Then I just played around with the manipulate tools.

Ryan Claus_Studio 4 high-rise imported from Revit to Maya

I spent about the last four hours working on an old project from my studio 4 class. The project was a Boutique hotel in New York City.

Below is a finished rendering I created in Revit...


First, I stripped and gutted my Revit model and exported it as a "FBX" file format. When I imported it into Maya it came in with each individual piece already assigned a "phong" material. Opening up the Hypershade dialogue box allowed me to delete these "phong" materials and create the "mental image architectural" materials (mia_material_x). I've only started assigning layers and materials to the individual pieces but here are some shots of my work in progress...

As you can see, I've only gotten to the tessellated skin, one of the curtain walls, and the floorplates. The process is quite tedious...
Oh baby......

Ryan Claus_Polygon Extrusion with Surface Deformation

Ana C Hercules Z - Nurbs: Extrusion and Tessellation

Using a curves and loft i created a planar. Then used the nurbs to poly convert to have the quad divisions in it. then using the face extrude i created the windows and then the entire mesh was smoothed.

Ana C Hercules Z - Polygon: Extrude and Deformation

Using a polygon cylinder and deforming it with flare, scale, twist, and extrude the shape was created, then using the face extrude i created the windows and deleted the interior face panel to leave it transparent.
