Maya Brief 2 - Set Design:

The Barn ‘Pipeline’:

Continuing on with the set

construction, I then looked
at making the barn for the
farm yard.
 I then started to modify the
front of the barn so that the
door and window were put in
place ready to come back to
later. Through doing so it
Added lines.
created N-gons, which Maya
finds hard to process, so to
rectify this I then used the
multi cut tool to remove
those 5 sided shapes
(pentagons) to get quads.
(see lines highlighted.)
From there I then curved the roof
panel and added in edge loops to
support the structure when
smoothed. Here I also extruded
the lip of the roof so that it over
hangs from the barns frame.
Here I also added extra edge
loops just to strengthen the roof
when it comes to smoothing and
rendering the model.
I then proceeded to add the
supporting beams to the
barn, to start with I made the
base beams on the font.
Then moved on to
transferring beams onto the
side and back of the barn.

then looked at creating the
top tower of the barn using
similar methods I used to
create the front of the barn
and the roof.

-1 in the X axis making sure
the merge vertices is at its
lowest (0.01) so that the form
of the barn remains intact.
