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.

Thanks all.

Demon, I know your not giving up now are you ? There's a little time left, we can still try to take Dae. LOL

Dae, honered you post in my thread.

MarkeMark. cool. looking forward to it.. Bring it on.. pillow fight !! ( swings large at demon )

Chris, oop.. you caught me. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

Bullet, thanks. Yeah they're modeled straight out. Once posed though they will look much different I think.

I wanna see them at work too. I have it ready but could take a lot more time to tweek than what I feel I have before challange end, so they just get posed for now. All that is requierd.

Demon, I'll watch the matt. This was fast for effect. Didn't want to show the blue screen back there.. LOL

MarkeMark about 22 houres from now for me I think.

Dae, yeah I better finish . To much work not to. Unless something drastic happens. Cool know what you meen about jerasic park. speeking of I better make that grass smaller. That tree is ment to be about 14 meters.

Yuko thanks.


Ok hear are the UV's all done. Thought I would post this. They were done earlyer today and packed tighter after this shot. But this screen cap you can see the difrent sizes of the tenticals in there. Its all UV maped. 14011 low poly faces for one side is right about where its going to be for final.

Very nice composition mate!!

I realy like it.

The only suggestion I would make would be to perhaps add something to the mid distance, even if it's just some clouds in the background. The foreground is very sharp and background blurred, a bit of balance would help level off the composition.

Just a thought, good luck with getting the final entry in mate.

Try turning the dino so the it's looking the other way (towards the center of the image). Might give the composition a bit more balance. Just my 0.02€ user added image
