May Challenge - Essahc - Noobie

:banana:
I've decided to give a try at this one. I don't know if I am ready to model a toon yet, but what the hey.
I have no camera to capture a decent referance of me so I will work from what I have. these pics don't show my glasses, but they will have to do.
update soon.

CPS=Connect Poly Shape

A script which got very famous during Maya 4.0 (If I understood correctly, it was integrated into Maya 4.5), which allowed someone to create a low poly object and watch it update realtime into the smoothed version.

Used a lot to emulate SubD´s workflow for people who only had Maya Complete.

Can be found in HighEnd3d I think.
