As for me, i kinda stopped the harbour town it had invested way too much time, so i have given myself a new task, which is to create a new small piece every week and then the following month work on something a bit bigger!
But my mine task is to understand the shaders in maya a bit better and what i should be using for different materials etc.
So, the image below is of some chocolate. It still has a bit of a way to go especially in variation of the chocolate as they all look the same at the moment, but this shouldnt be too difficult to do. I am using a simple miss shader in maya, and playing with the settings it provides. This is just a simple colour pass with no AO etc going on! That is another thing i want to achieve to make realistic rendering before the AO goes on as it will just push it even more, there isnt any shadows as of yet but i am working on it! Also, i think the chocolate is a bit too patchy at the moment and the cadbury logo is a bit too dark as well and maybe a bit more bump?!
