Salt Shaker

For our next Maya project, we had to make a salt shaker. We also had to make a cup, but that went pretty under the radar. We started with the body of the salt shaker, making circles and attaching them together. Then, we adjusted the sides to make them the actual shape of a salt shaker. After we got it looking right, we made the bottom of the salt shaker. Something here went wrong for me and I had to adjust it a lot to actually fit the bottom of it. The cap was really fun to make. By making a sphere, cutting it in half, and adjusting it accordingly, you could get a fun cap. When we were making the holes in the cap, I decided to make them into an S. My salt shaker at home looks like that so I thought it would be a fun little addition. Though, you can't really see it in the picture. We had to make the body of the salt shaker see-through and the cap a shiny gray. Nice the salt shaker was finished, you had to put it in a box so you could see the lights and compliment the salt shaker itself. I've never been the best with lighting and making it actually look right. The salt we made by taking the original shape of the salt shaker and sizing it down slightly. I'm overall happy with the way my salt shaker turned out.
