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.

Thanks guys.

Fredrikkson, yes I am cursed with 'cute', but hell if you can't beat it, make it a cartoon lol. The only non cartoon thing I have made recently was for the last tournament. I attach a pic in my defence (not that it'll work, I think I have a entirely cartoon mind in my leisure hours), really ought to get round to texturing it properly.

But enough! Back to tiny dinosaurs and giving my caveman a rather fetching snow leopard skin thing to wear. Cute calls me! And everyone has to have a style, right? (sob).

Work continues with early bicycle. Doesn't have the things holding it all together yet, and I added a painted bump map to the wheels to make them look carved since the shot was taken, but you get the idea.

Not sure I 100% like the rock texture. Looks more like a chunk of space rock with micrometeor impacts then normal earth rock user added image Love the wood and bamboo textures though user added image

Thanks Pure, yes I am detailing the umbrella with some pegs and things. It has a painted texture which took me a while but you can't see it, sob. Stitching is a good idea though I shall revisit it.

Thanks Vampus, he probably got it when those spacemen you see in cave paintings came to earth, ahem. I'll look at some other rock.
