We made a candle using Maya in class to practice using the software.
We copy and pasted a reference image into the Maya folder for source images, then we put that onto a plane that we had made on Maya. After that, using boxes and the extrude tool, we built a candle holder-like shape.
I hit "3' to smooth the shape off and then I used "Ctrl+Multi-cut tool" to help some edges hold their shapes once the shape was smoothed off. I added a material to the shape and put a plane behind it to add a background to create a contrast.
I finally rendered out the candle picture and saved it.

I am happy with the candle I made. I feel more confident using Maya already, which is good because it makes the idea of 3D slightly less daunting.
Later on, I made a glass using the same technique as I did with the candle. I changed the material to class and I duplicated it to make more glasses. I was happy with the result and happy with how much faster I was able to achieve it when compared to the time it took to do the candle.
I made some mugs to play with colour. I also shaped the handle to a design I liked after I used the bridge tool.
