Hey BUT, where is the 'Toolbox' [see last post - or two]because I have never seen those options anywere else (I don't think, but dunno?)
Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

HappyLemon - lol - I have been struggling since it started to get a 'Basic shape' for the base that did not look like a copy of the one posted by Mike, Every one I did looked either the same as the picy or 'NAFF' ... Have been just playing around with shapes and stuff, and looking at the other images on Feng's site..
If we are happy with the 'Shape' then I will carry on and make the 'BFG' you want
..... I finish work for five days tonight so will have time to play around with it more now... 
Woooo Hoooo 5 days off!!!! 4 hrs left.......and counting..
3.99...3.98...

Problems, problems.
At first those 'hydraulic legs' looked Ok to me, but if they don't serve a purpose....then I suppose they shouldn't be there... Also front of building is err, not right, just looks wrong.....
Nope me no like... Another Bin Job... Pity really cos I tried messing about getting scale into it by making a sort of 'craft' .... to point the 'scale' out - That Blocky thing on top floor was going to be a lift..

And because I didn't plan it out, it's sort of dis-jointed, but I have learned a LOT from this Competition...[You learn from mistakes right? and I have made them in bucket-loads!] lol
Still un-sure whether to start again.. May try another scene anyway and just work on this in the background. Then see which is best,????
Methinks I will be happier when I get the 'hang' of that 'Append to Poly' tool, but at the moment need more practice as it's not behaving as I want it to.
Anyway I have more time now, woo-hooo 5 days off work!!
Regards and Thanks Scraggy

A few changes...
Will keep adding and re-check rules now to see what I have to make in regard to the tunnels. Also I better look for some tutorials on making textures in Pho'p.
Must admit I'm not looking forward to texturing because I have only ever played around importing them... Also will have to do them 1 by one as I just cannot get the hang of UV Maps ....
But am really happy it's at least looking like something I'm not ashamed of putting on the web.
Thanks to all of you, I'm getting better with the tools, and not getting stuck (and having to post a question) every day...
Well better go check out some Pho'shop tutorials on textures, then check Mike's rules on them and tunnels.... Laters....
Oh yeah, sorry but the ship is way too small to have people (or aliens) running/slithering about in, hmm shame though because it is kinda cool inside there...
BTW - Watch this space for more bits and bobs.... And Thanks for the ladder suggestion... Y'know I did want to do that but it looked hard, really glad you nudged me into action.... :bgreen: Regards Scraggy
