Hi Gang

Here is my first all-Maya character effort from the 'Maya 4 Fundamentals' book. I wanted to model a character in Maya and then rig and animate him to get a real feel for the program rather than just dabbling with it.

The texturing needs work, I don't quite know how to texture in Maya yet. His eyes are that colour cos he drinks to barrels of grog a day. It's not crappy use shaders...he, he.

I have just finished putting a basic rig on the character and will be presenting him doing a walk by then end of this week - I hope! The next tricky bit will be rigging the hands and creating morph shapes for the head - aaaghhhhhhhhhhh!!!
