Citroen 2CV challenge

As I haven't had much time to model recently, I set myself the challenge of creating a model from scratch in one day and here are the results! I was particularly inspired by the vehicles in the new Tintin movie, so I chose a Citroen 'deux cheveaux'. I'm planning to do some animation tests with it, so have left it light on detail. Colour render coming soon!

The Knight

Inspired by our recent vist to Puy de Fou in France here is the Knight Guillaume de Puy de Fou.

Playing with trains

Train test

I built this train to learn more about rigging in Maya. The pistons and connecting rods are guided by the wheel rotations using constraints. I also experimented with driven keys. The track was made using a motion path, animation snapshot and animated sweep. The train also follows the motion path. To add carriages i'm planning to build an IK chain.
