Screenshots of my original robot

Process

This robot is merely made up of several primitives that were already in Maya. For example, the face is made up of a sphere and the eyes are also made using spheres, while the ear is made up of a cone with a helix surrounding the cone.

I started building up the robot from the chest, creating its arms and hands, and down to the legs, before making the face and ears.

Reflection

It took about an hour to complete this since I was still inexperienced in Maya and it was difficult for me to get used to the Maya interface. However, after completion, I was pleased with the final result.

I also used the Outliner window that I have learnt to do the parenting of the parts, e.g. parenting the arms to the chest, the hands to the arm joints, and etc, so that in the future, if I want to, I can apply animations to the model and the parts will move together properly even if only one part of the model was rotated for example.
