This project was my final for the digital portion of my VIST 106 class, focusing on Maya and Renderman. It features a steampunk grasshopper based off various musical instruments. I was inspired by the way that some bugs, primarily grasshoppers buzz and make their own sounds. For an assignment that focused on making a bug from something organic into something mechanical, I wanted to lean into that and see how I could transform the chirping into something melodic.
