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.

Oooh, looks really nice! One thing I would love to see are some of the progress images. Seeing laserbeak here is great, just thats one of the rules, you need progress images user added image

. Hopefully you can supply us with some. We will still count this as the final render though, just may not be valid without some of those images. Ok, great modelling, hope to see you enter more in the future user added image

. Cya later.

, thanks alphatrion, now i know for sure that you modelled this user added image

. Just letting you know why this is so important for the future. If we can view your progress then that proves you made it from the start of the competition to the end, and didnt just post a older model. So, thats why you have to post gradually in the future user added image

. If this was a highly detailed model like something that some of the pro's are working on, then I dont know if it could be accepted, but this time its fine user added image

. Thanks for entering and great job on the model. I couldnt model that in 2 days, nice! Cya around
