Pencil

The project I was working on is creating a Pencil in Maya. The point of this project was to teach myself how to create UV’s and how to texture a simple object. The assignment started off with creating simple shapes and modifying them to look like a pencil. It was going fine till I got to the crimp (the metal part) where when I tried to make it, it became a bit to distorted, and so I had to make the edges look more even then they should’ve. Then I made a UV of my pencil, which basically flattens my pencil, this way it’ll be easier to do texturing. After that I created the texture for the wooden part of the texture by taking a reference image of wood and modifying on photoshop. Then I applied the render to the wood part of the pencil, and did some modifying their. After that I created a texture that was my name and Applied it to the pencil.
