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.

Question on Modeling a Human

I want to start modeling a human, but I dont know if I should model it with NURBS or Polys. I know its all a matter of preference really, but what do you guys think I should start out with? Ive modeled little things with NURBS, and polys before, so Im fairly familiar with both. Any suggestions? Thnx

Dave's way works, but not my favorite method. user added image

Man must a have a weird style of modeling,, heheh I start of with nurbs primitives or curves go to polys then sub-ds. Than sub-d back to poly...

I start with a poly primitive, mostly a cube, stretch the initial points to fit the boundary of my object, and start cutting in the shape, similar to rock sculpture, I suppose... user added image

I do the same. I think I have more control when I do it... I can control the numbers of polygons easier.
