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.

Based off the toy, with some little tweaks. Plan is to do all the others aswell and get them all together (Grimlock already done)

Nice model.

... I have to ask, do you spend more time modeling, or more time preparing your wip shots? user added image

so are you going to make this one transform?




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Right now - Im thinkin NO. The toy is very hard to transform and robot mode is not the best.

the toy is very weak in places (badly made molds in the legs/arms) tweaking many different parts - I`ll see what I can do
