Maya Project Inspiration Board

Building a 3D animated project is probably the best way to present the knowledge about the Maya software, we have been taught for the last several months. Especially, for a person like me, without any 3D modelling experience.  

The project we are about to present is a Perfect Holiday Destination. It should contain all the basic elements included in every single 3D animation: models, lights, cameras and actual animations.  

When we first started talking about this assignment, I had an idea of building a place that would be a representation of an ideal holiday destination for many people. It would include a beach, some type of a shelter, palm trees etc. I have started my research and gathered images to help me design the project. Next, I decided to start modelling some of the tropical elements. I created a couple of rocks and several palm trees.  

Suddenly, I decided to change the concept of my project and build an abstract holiday destination. I wanted to create a place, that doesn’t exist in a real life. I got inspired by the “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” movie and therefore, I chose to make a destination full of oddly shaped and exaggerated edible items. I have carried on more research to look for reference images and gathered my ideas in this Perfect Holiday Destination – Inspiration Board. 

I am hoping to present an immersive and amusing holiday destination, all built by myself in Maya. A perfect place to every chocolate and sweets lover.
