Building shapes in Illustrator

Illustrator is a bit like a 2D CGI shape designer, to design shapes you have to break the object apart, and that's why I used illustrator to design the objects before modelling them in maya.

The video below shows how I broke apart and designed some of the objects using illustrator.

Here are the shapes that have been designed to be modelled later on in maya
