Safe

For this project I wanted to focus on scaling and proper dimensions. I began this project by taking the reference image and placing it within Photoshop where I placed a grid on top. I considered every 2x2 square on the Photoshop grid to be equal to 1 cm. which is the size of one square within Maya. From here I added them up and converted my Photoshop grid to the Maya grid and was able to get proper dimensions for each piece. Overall I found this project to be very entertaining and a great mental exercise for how I should break my models down for their proper scale, it also allowed me to focus on proper dimensions so an object would maintain it's volume and shape.
