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.

Swimming with the dolphins is one thing, but I bet this guy has some extra baggage in his wetsuit after suddenly seeing that. user added image

Very cool. I can't even imagine what it would actually feel like being the surfer or the guys on the ship.

How would you like to be stuck down in the engine room through a storm like that? Be so deep in the ship that you would never make it out.

The surfer one is a dolphin. I saw it on a website. You can sort of see the horizontal tail.

The lightning one is very cool. The guy with the sun in his hand, NICE. The cloud over the mountain. Just for those who care to know, that is a Lenticular cloud.

Ive done the holding the sun thing with some friends at the local lake. Its fun. Also when you have someone exhail from a ciggerette when theres a cloud shaped like something, and shoot the photo looking up. looks like the smoke takes the form of the cloud.

surfing with dolphins is actually an amazing experiance. It really isn't all that scary, just absolutly amazing to watch them effortless catch waves.

The only time that it really gets scary is when you are starting to catch a wave....and they start to swim underneath you!! Now in that case you might find yourself with some extra baggage D=

The only constant is change...

I have done that and it was a little sketchy at first because I did not notice them untill they were under me. After that it is not scary at al. I would be $hitting my wetsuit at the size of that wave and being in the impact zone though.
