For my first assignment piece, I chose to start with the lamp. I began with these three images, then I began practicing how I would achieve this design in Maya.
I started with something simple. I created a base by making a flat cylinder and smoothing the edges with the key 3 short cut:
Then using cylinders I began to slowly assemble the bottom section of the lamp.
After I made it to this stage I did some further research into the type of lamp I wanted to model. I came up with these pictures:
I think I am going to go with the bottom picture, but I will add a power cable with a switch onto my final product.
This is something I came up with when I was looking at this design:
As you can see I started working on the base, the stem (with extruded areas where it would be assembled), a socket for the bulb, and two clasps to keep the lamp shade in place.
I will probably keep the way I've done the base and the socket (even though the socket will most likely be blocked, I think the detail will make the model much better).
