Some Maya Practice

Thought I'd try out modelling in Maya and start making a Japanese garden lamp.

Decided to use this design above and draw it out in photoshop with a better working view.
Not gonna stick exactly to the reference so gonna mess about as I model to suit my tastes.

 

Began texturing this model & set up some visually pleasing lights too. Still alot of texturing to do but looking pretty neat so far.
