Bamboo

This is my second attempt at modeling. I saw this magnet on my roommate's fridge and I decided that it was interesting enough to model. Modeling the palm tree gave me god practice. I am starting to become more comfortable with Maya. Although I didn't follow every single instruction, this tutorial really helped me as well. I've even memorized a few hot keys.

The palm tree is made from duplicated nurb circles. I created the stem by stretching out a cone. I created a plane and played with the edges to make the individual leafs. I duplicated the individual leaf shape and attached it to the stem. I used the bent tool to give the whole leaf that bend look.
