Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Nov/Dec - Character - Sci-fi - Orgee - Norm

Hey guys. Ive been trying to think of what to make. I originally was gonna make 2 but im just gonna do 1. Ive wanted to make this when I first saw LOTR TT, and i just rememberd today, so now im working on a sketch for it. Anyway, here is what im gonna do:

It is going to be a science fiction ala starcraft/starwars Elf.

Yes guys, I finally picked Iron Chef Smeagol..I already started the modeling, head is almost done..I think I will get stuck at the ears part but ill handle that today.

Also I think the thing thats gonna slow me down a bit are the blendshapes and muscles/bones/deformations and whatnot to pose the guy..Later on ill be asking for lots of help on this! So bare with me.

Ill post screenies in a bit

Oh and I hope Mike changes my header instead of Sci-Fi into Modern or whatever an Iron Chef is user added image
